Can't say that I'm surprised this was a hoax. More surprising was how many people just jumped onto this.

It goes to show how many people wanted it to be true. :(

What this community wants doesn't seem to factor into what Nokia will do. Otherwise, Maemo and MeeGo would have been pushed further and harder.

Unfortunately for us, and unfortunately for Nokia.

elop said in an interview after being asked point blank if nokia's plan B was meego that their plan B was to make their plan A work.

I think it was the engadget interview that chris z (the only respectable reporter on the engadget staff imo) did during mwc

elop speaks like a very honest and intelligent man, also imo.

Well yes, if you're the sort of person that for some reason needs to use multiple different pdf readers to read a single document then yes it could be annoying. In the broad sense it's usually not a problem.

I am the sort of person that generates PDFs with one application, annotates them with another, and reads with a third.

Justifying ANY limitation of a system comes only from lack of imagination.

Your own lack of imagination leads you to that conclusion.
The fact is plenty of users value the added security over lack of flexibility, which is of course the justification of these restrictions by the people who put them in place.

Okay... I didn't know it was a hoax perpetuated by an iPhone owner.

Wow. Imagine getting duped by an owner of an OS that you all hate.

There's like 10 jokes in that somewhere.

Wow, what a comeback, I am speechless.

@gerbick: The hoax telling us exactly what we like to hear (improbable as it was) made it as successful as it was.

I wouildn't be surprised if the iPhone bit was also added to have maximal impact :)
