He's right about how Apple got here but now that it's #1 they are using contract law to maintain a monopoly. No less evil than Microsoft at its worst.

It's not the secrecy, it's the monopoly on the sale of iPhone applications. Monopolies are OK as long as...

To be honest, I can barely tell if this is just a troll comment. If you are serious though, perhaps the testing isn't of the "medical" effectiveness which appears to be known but rather its "engineering" effectiveness.

Uh, Seriously? Why would you run any command without knowing its purpose? Should they also disable 'rm' because idiots wipe their system with that as well? Sure the maintainer is being a bit lazy about the issue but everyone always thinks t

The AppStore is a huge deal and was barely even mentioned. Censoring what they sell in the AppStore is fine with me. Maintaining a monopoly on the sales of software for use with their devices by exploiting contract law and the DCMA is not.

How the heck does this guy come to the conclusion he does? E-reader is somewhere between 40 and 100 (N) books so that means books are more environmentally friendly? The conclusion I draw is that you only have to read N books and it becomes

He's not the first to make this claim and I question whether it is so clear cut. For instance, it seems very likely that some of those 40 million jobs created by start-ups had an effect on established business. Either through competition fo

Subtley different than Torvalds (pragmatism) vs. Stallman (idealism) in that I think the main point is about how people react to others' with different opinions. Should I hate a friend because he disagrees with my ideals? Certainly not. Yet

I hate that people like Gruber keep making the analogy to automobiles. Because the car manufacturers didn't try to lock down their system and took government intervention to prevent this? But if Apple does it, it's just "progress".

If Theora gets sued over a patent that H.264 also violates wouldn't MPEG LA want to back up Theora as to not give credibility to the patent? If they didn't the suit against Theora would just strengthen the patent against H.264. I guess, H.2

Not knowing much about the story I really enjoyed reading this article. I had assumed the Sith were just about power-hungry evil villains.

This is correct, at least as of a couple months ago. The home deposit feature requires the military-only insurance line. I opened an account back around when the iPhone app first came out only to discover creating my account. My short time

I don't think patents should apply to any product only to methods of creating products and internal practices. The original point of patents were to get ideas into public knowledge. If you are selling a product it is public knowledge and we
