I don't think you know how much careful thought goes into market definitions in antitrust cases. It's a lot more than what you presented there! They would laugh you out of court, frankly.

Oh please. If you can't see the difference between a government encroaching on your human rights, and Apple restricting your use of development tools...well, I guess you just proved that you don't see the difference. It must suck being yo

Data point: Search is the only feature of Twitter that I use. I mostly use it to see whether other people are buzzing about something at that very moment.

You have a choice not to develop for the iPhone OS. Who is twisting your arm? Give the rhetoric a break. It's you who is being contemptuous.

Re: "effective monopoly". Your comment reveals that you do not understand how antitrust/competition law works. In order to define a monopoly, you need to define a market. In your comment, you define the market as "mobile mini-computers".

It's pretty clear that Apple is maneuvering to ensure that CS5 is not must-have software for Mac users. If you want to see an example of a vendor closing ranks to the detriment of users, look no further than Adobe.

What is your point? Based on your straight 0 ratings in this thread, hating on Rails is also a niche. So what?

Well, since there was an SDK since day one, of course they anticipated third party development. The point is that they were pointing developers at web apps at launch. Why am I explaining this to you? It's public record. Look it up.

Selective enforcement implies a binary decision. This is rarely the case with legal matters: most of the time some discretion is required (even expected) as part of enforcement. This is what judges and juries are for under the common and

Not really. Native third party apps were originally a concession to demands from users/developers by all accounts I've heard. Regardless, the original strategy was to encourage web-based apps.

Then go ahead and fork Flash. LOL. And forking is obviously less-than-ideal in terms of maintaining against future core updates. It's a kind of "freedom" that comes with plenty of new burdens.

It's not your platform. You don't get to decide. How can I make this more clear to you? Why do I even need to explain this?

by sunchild 17y ago
That's called exercising discretion. It happens under the real laws too. I don't think you know what "evil" means.

Many posters are missing the point here. Apple is heading Adobe off at the pass, so that Flash is not a viable development platform. The fact that the agreement term can be interpreted to prevent umpteen different other cross-platform dev

IAAL. Contracts only matter to the extent and in the manner that they are ENFORCED by the parties to the contract. Everything else is pure speculation and intellectual masturbation...or, in this case, pursuit of an agenda.

Go back and watch the first iPhone keynote. It was all about web apps.

Apple has pursued a single consistent goal under the reign of King Jobs II: protect the ecosystem, and grow it in careful, measured increments. In order to keep something great from turning to crap, you have to have a gatekeeper. If you do

I watched this video from end to end. It is entirely possible that this was a team setting up an ambush and filming it. The fact that a Reuters photojourno was involved only fortifies the plausibility of this theory, since wire photojourno

A sidenote to yours: War prior to the 21st century was equally horrible, if not more so, in terms of scale.

As soon as you use the words "netbook" or "giant iPod", your review is missing the point entirely.

As far as I can tell, the only step that I left out is "git init". Switching branches without losing your changes is poor form anyway. You should be committing before you switch. If not, you can create multiple local branches (ick!) As fo

Commands make no sense? git add . git commit -am "feature working great" git push git branch new_feature git checkout new_feature git commit -am "new feature working great" git push origin new_feature How hard is that?!

I'd be interested in attrition after the sale. I wiped out my Mint.com account as soon as I learned who bought them.

I know I'm not alone when I say that Ryan Bates' railscasts.com has saved me countless hours of frustration, and expanded my vision of what Rails is capable of doing. Few presenters can match Ryan's clear, pleasant style. In terms of free

Nice - that's a single challenge question, and one that can be easily discovered in the public record.

This is what version control is meant to be. I know it's just a GUI on existing functionality, but that in itself represents meaningful progress.
