Agreed. But I think the political skulduggery based on your position regarding the data is also concerning. If you define the enemy as someone with an opposing viewpoint you are obviously not in a position to properly consider that viewpoin

Not True. Windows CE/PocketPC/Mobile has always allowed you to get Apps from anywhere.

A world full of crippled devices that only allow you to use them in the specific ways that the manufacturer allows (or has thought of) does not give you more options - it gives you less options. The reason I say crippled is that a general p

When he spends a whole essay refuting less than a third of a sentence in the original criticism the impact is diluted to very little indeed. The fact that he doesn't respond to any of the other factual assertions is more telling to me.

Are you serious? A scary picture means "Maybe he's on to something"? For the record I didn't find the picture all that scary so what does that mean?

I read it is being: How to save Apple from making the same mistakes that lead to it being in such a bad state in 1997. The current iPhone vs Android battle could turn out to be a repeat of 1995. Only time will tell.

Even better is employing a cleaner. 3 hours a week makes a huge difference for me. Even if you were only earning the same after tax as what you pay the cleaner it's worth it. I'd much rather work than clean.

So do you think it is reasonable to have to read through 4 pages of an article just to find out that isn't really about what the title said? I understand that a lot of people enjoyed the article but does that make this deception excusable?

by dejb 17y ago
What would make me happy is to read articles that start of with a good summary of the answer to the question they pose in the title. That way I can know whether it is worth investing the time into reading the rest of it. Articles that force

Windows Mobile doesn't have/require signing. I'll wager most Symbian phones are like this as well.

This isn't the case for platforms that don't have a compulsory 'app store' model. I can write an app for Android or Windows Mobile (and probably many other platforms) and distribute it any way I see fit.
