Do you have any idea how much crap they are getting for that? People made a stink, and they learned their lesson.
- glassx 15y agoAnd it's a cool thing. I hope Apple learns their lesson too, with articles like this. My guess is that, in both cases (Honeycomb and FaceTime), it was more a problem of corporate inertia or laziness rather than evil.
- tobylane 15y agoSounds evil to deliberately allow anyone to see the 2.x source but not the 3.x which is only a continuation, not a rewrite.
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoHoneycomb remains a closed source system. ICS is still unpublished in any form; Google's claimed that it will be open source, but (as with FaceTime) words mean nothing until they're backed up with action. I'm not ready to say they've "learned their lesson" until they've actually /done/ something about it.
