Why Apple keeps its iPhone 2.0 SDK under NDA
- bprater 18y agoIt is amazing how entirely frustrating this is to developers. We are using a new platform and this is the point that we need access to as much information as possible, and this is the period where Apple is being most restrictive.
- Herring 18y ago"Another reason for locking up iPhone details behind NDA is that Apple can't seek to patent any inventions after they are publicly published. By keeping the iPhone's details under NDA, it can retroactively seek patent protection for ideas that it discovers are more novel that originally thought." I think Apple could ship frozen turds & appleinsider would find a way to spin it. "They're saving on development costs!"
- tlrobinson 18y ago"Prince McLean" is a particularly obnoxious Apple apologist. You may also know him as Daniel Eran Dilger of roughlydrafted.com He regularly posts essentially the same article on both rouglydrafted.com and appleinsider.com, often citing one of in the other, and even defending his alter-ego if he's been called out. See here: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/08/15/inside_mobileme_web_3_and_web_client_server_apps.html&page=2 http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/08/15/inside_mobilem... Then here: http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/08/22/is-apples-mobileme-secure/ http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/08/22/is-apples-mobileme-... I have no problem with writers using pen names, but when you're writing the exact same material on two different sites using two different names, cross-linking between them, and defending yourself under a different name, thats crossing the line.
