The fact that the _Downfall_ producers didn't buy Youtube ads to pop up when the parodies were played just shows how stupid they are. I mean really! How else is a movie about Hitler, in German (!), going to get worldwide mindshare? Just g

At most, the only case made here is that Apple doesn't care one way or the other if you make any money selling your app; as long as apps are there and people are using them, Apple is happy. The apps are a marketing tool for Apple. While the

Writing your apps in C is within the terms of the agreement. As is writing your code in Javascript if it is interpreted by Webkit, which is why _Phone Gap_ seems to be okay. "...Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C+

The side by side issue for windows, especially browsers is intrinsic in the small screen size. For now, the desktop is the place for activity like that. However ... Remember all those Star Trek episodes with people sitting at a desk with _

Fantastic! ABe is a classically trained artist and an incredible draftsman. For years I've been trying to find examples of his non-anime/manga work, which I've read is _very_ good.

I'm a visual artist, both digital and old school, charcoal and oil paint variety. 35+ years experience. I love drawing on my iPod Touch and expect to love the iPad even more. I can imagine better (always can) but short of sticking a 21 i

Just a cursory look at what's going on with the new virtual memory system seems to indicate that writing apps that follow the rules enough to work correctly will be an interesting enough problem even _using_ Apple's tools and libraries. But

The web is many things, but it is _not_ beautiful. It is a mess. It happened by accident, evolved beyond anyone's control and is now a beast loose upon the world. Unlovely in the extreme. And it does _not_ run everywhere. With lots of wor

So in other words, you can't and don't intend to address the topic at hand. bye bye...

Please feel free to cite where I said anyone was saying it was illegal. The closest thing I can find to that is where I said: "It is acceptable for Apple to sell its hardware/software under any kind license that it wants to, as long as it

No, you're missing the point, this discussion isn't about what we would like. This is about whether Apple is insane or within their rights to do what they did. There are lots of other discussions on this site about whether it's a good idea

No, that's like Sony telling you that you have to use their development garden, which, the last time I looked into console development, they did... I'm pretty sure the agreement says nothing about what kind of keyboard you should use :) But

You seem to understand _many_ reasons why Apple would want to do this. Apple has every right to sell its stuff with whatever kind of license they want. Just as you (and I) have every right not to develop for them. The thing is that, for n

It is acceptable for Apple to sell its hardware/software under any kind license that it wants to, as long as it isn't illegal. No one is under any obligation to develop for their platform. There are very real advantages to their closed wal

No, Steve Jobs is not insane, this interpretation of the new rule is insane. Apple is merely (!) trying to control what tools people use to create software on their platform. I can understand why they want to do this, just as I can underst

Brushes is going to be a big deal among people who can draw. The iPhone version is incredible, and the larger screen will make it more so.

Because no one ever held a book steady in their hand for more than 15-20 minutes without getting tired... Hell, I've watched whole TV shows on the bus with my iPod Touch. And don't get me started on games. There will be plenty of problems
