Rejection: Apple hates (certain) books and whistling {TUAW.com}

May 26th 2009 7:30AM To expand & clarify: psychopathy, an aspect of Antisocial Personality Disorder is a disturbance of the Superego - of the conscience. A psychopath disregards, resents and often attacks (moral) authority while having a strong sense of being exempt from the Law (rules, traditions, social expectations and consensus on propriety). The preoccupation with the App Store approval process AND at the same time glorifying "jailbraking" and Bittorrenting seem to snugly fit the above.

Calling something jailbreaking may successfully convince _some_ that the current convention of the iPhone's integration into carrier and App Store usage is a violation of one's freedom of choice and that the various methods of tampering with its walled garden is asserting one's independence just because how this process was arbitrarily and deceptively coined.

Rejection: Apple hates (certain) books and whistling {TUAW.com}

May 22nd 2009 6:43AM The same whining choir of little psychopaths complaining; how quaintly postmodern (misleading) the term jailbreaking is... How little all of this is.

Wacky App Store rejections du jour {TUAW.com}

May 11th 2009 4:50PM I love it: another choir of cursing thieves who feel superior about their freedom in consumerist choices! How quant to complain about Big Overseer while obsessive collecting copyright protected works of art. Vive la hypocrisy!

BUT wait, why would someone who detests/resents Apple or the iPhone read this blog? Nothing else to do in Spring afternoon?

Apple market share drops slightly in the past year {TUAW.com}

Apr 17th 2009 8:50AM Apple's market-share has dropped because of the increasing popularity of netbooks (in a troubled economy) -- that can do _less_ than smartphones -- the stats include only "traditional" computing platforms. The iPhone (and the Blackberry with the other internet accessing gadgets -- XBox anybody?) are not considered. However, with cloud computing on us, we will have to re-think our categories.
I do not see IBM or Sun anywhere in the stats because servers and mainframes are in a different non-consumer category. Believe me, with the explosive growth of server-farms the _number_ of those units sold would dwarf laptop- and netbook sales.

cheers!

Apple market share drops slightly in the past year {TUAW.com}

Apr 17th 2009 12:05AM Interesting but misleading. The numbers are representing traditional computing platforms with the more recent inclusion of netbooks. The problem, you see, is that netbooks can hardly do more that 'certain' smartphones. In fact as the Wall Street Journal was reporting in late Fall the surprising demographic anomaly was that folks in the lower income brackets were buying iPhones -- to roll in DSL/cable charges with their cellphone bills...
The problem with analytics is often the sampling to begin with...
The problem with journalism is often that the article needs to be stirring...

"Pull My Finger" returns to the App Store {TUAW.com}

Seriously WTF!
Freedom of expression: do we really think the fart-jokes are really worth cyber-electrons?

iPhoneNotes allows downloading and uploading notes to a jailbroken iPhone {TUAW.com}

Mar 26th 2008 10:41AM oooooooops! apologies:
of course, passé (with hold AND slide)
[anything for typographic elegance]

iPhoneNotes allows downloading and uploading notes to a jailbroken iPhone {TUAW.com}

Mar 26th 2008 9:52AM The story is in the name:
V1ru8 -- is trying to induce fear, assuming a posture of subversive power.
Bad marketing choice that screams infantile insecurity.
Cheers!

and by the way, txtspk is becoming a tired mode of expression (so passe) when you have a full keyboard and screen real-estate on an iPhone. Let the Symbian crowd be inelegant.

A Lamborghini iPhone? {Luxist}

Mar 3rd 2008 5:15PM Yup!
Windows Mobile 6 Pro or Windows Mobile 6.1 - just like the iPhone... But why would Lamborghini worry about market share?
