I'm glad you're happy but there's no need to repost everything in short bursts over dozens of mini posts duplicates on 2 threads.

Ps: TMI on this particular post... We don't need to know that you jerkied to that website...

lol, it was only for experimental purposes!

Pretty big shift from watching that video to less than one minute later downloading an app and watching flash stuff on the iphone...

but I guess we are all excited by different things

EDIT: woody beat me to the punch ^^ like he said
so basically we are being judged before even commiting the crime? or should i say we are paying via added precautions and limits in ability for stuff that other people have done? thats not cool. like insurance companies charging a deductible as a deterrent measure because of what other people did. i dont kike being treated like a criminal even though i am not the one who committed the crime

The only thing that would make that any more ironic would be caring enough to complain multiple times in the one thread but not enough to get the author right

Ironically, 1984 was written by a state informant, George Orwell.

That -is- the fundamental assumption with DRM. You are a criminal, tried and convicted by the vendor of your device, and must be imprisoned appropriately. With DRM, the customer is the enemy and is treated accordingly.

The limits of what could possibly be considered acceptable were tested and met by Valve, who make a fairly valuable tradeoff. Everything else, especially that demanded by the media industries, is unacceptable.

Part of the reason I don't like Apple's locked down computing bent they seem to think is Right and Just with mobile computing is because they (and indeed many others, especially Motorola) see it as an opportunity to push us uppity consumers back into the bag via locked down devices they control well past the point of sale, and past the point where your contract would have expired.

Well my problem with iPhone isn't that it doesn't have feature x, y, or z. My real problem with the iPhone is that it is closed you can only install apps approved by Apple, you can't tinker with an iPhone beyond moving around the icons, you can't change the theme, developers are treated like crap, You can only put music, videos, or photos on an iPhone with iTunes and only Apple software can run fully in the background so third party background tasks are limited. Don't tell me to jailbrake alright that voids the warranty, is illegal, and can possibly brick your device.

Anyway, music over bluetooth... slow. I'd kill somebody if I had to send over two CD's (ripped) over bluetooth. Try it, time it, get back to me on that one.
People actually use Flash on the Internet stupid! Alright Flash is important despite what grand master Steve Jobs said. As of the latest version of Flash I have no problems with it. Flash isn't that bad
and people have created very cool stuff with.

What if I use iTunes as my media player?
What other theme could you possible have?
Were you an iPhone developer? Were you treated like crap?
I submitted a test app to the Ovi Store, it was rejected because it failed the QA process. See where I'm going with this?
iOS4 brought multitasking

You called him stupid, you win.
