We also thought there was no extradition for crimes that go unpunished in Canada. Marc Emery, the DEA, and the Canadian government proved us wrong.
(although your cover might be blown and you might be flagged as a tourist).
Which wouldn't happen if you were just wandering around with a confused look on your face, taking video of your surroundings on a smartphone.
Unfortunately, app reviewers literally just install your app on a bunch of devices and tap around the screen to make sure nothing breaks, so any sort of hidden functionality will likely make it past the initial screening.
For the record... my app, Touch Health, will not steal your phone number.
Exactly. The lesson here is that if you really want private enterprise to do something, you have to set up a nonprofit to do it first and give it away to poor people. That way, the for-profit companies will think you're threatening their turf (even if they had no intention of doing whatever it is you're doing in the first place), and they'll go out of their way to compete with you (and crush you).
Funny AND true!
How about a neo-luddite who buys a disc for the sole purpose of destroying it? Are they stealing?
No, of course not. That's retarded. Apple cannot and does not assume that everyone who purchases their OS own a Mac. You can't call someone's behaviour "stealing" if they're exchanging money for goods at the advertised price.
I suppose buying Gillette razor blades and then gluing them to popsicle sticks to shave with is stealing too, then?
If anything, we should see more Android devices--Android technology without the phone, like the iPod touch. Clearly there's a market there, and you get around the whole pesky "tied to the carrier you hate" issue.
THANK YOU.
Know why I chose iPhone for a dev platform? Not because I have an iPhone (I don't), but because I have an iPod touch, and so do a lot of other people. I write an app, and not only can iPhone owners use it, so can all the people who don't have/want an iPhone, but happen to have an iPod touch (most of my friends fall into this category).
I don't want to sign a three-year cell phone contract, and I certainly don't want to pay $700 for a phone without a contract. So I bought an iPod touch (less than $250 at the time), and a cheap phone that works. And guess what? It's great. If we start seeing more android-powered devices that aren't phones, but are just media players/web browsers/game and app platforms, we'll start seeing more people start to develop quality apps.
SharePoint is, by far, the most hideous platform I know of. It makes me long for the days of hacking HTML to make it render correctly in IE6.
Haha. I recently quit a job where we were being pushed towards using SharePoint as a WCMS -- yes, SharePoint for public-facing websites. The API is trash, and it's extremely, EXTREMELY difficult to make a master page without being forced to use tables at least once or twice. Really annoying if you're trying to only use DIVs, and the first thing one of your controls renders out is a tag.
With your bare hands?!?
