No thanks.
On the other hand, paying 84 people for 6 years will do very little for the economy by itself

Holy tongue twister Batman!
So when Apple's proprietary encryption software suffered a problem, Apple users could do nothing but wait for Apple to deliver a fix; there's nobody else that are allowed to fix Apple's proprietary software but Apple. And when that fix ostensibly arrived, Apple users had to hope it wasn't bundled with some malware too (as is often in proprietary software).
I shouldn't feed the troll, but Apple released the patch and simultaneously announced the issue so there was no waiting. IIRC the trusted jailbreak community had a patch the next day. As to the rest of your rant, if you're trying to glamorize non-proprietary software by comparing it's benefits to someone technical vs. my six year old using her iPod then you really don't have much of an argument. And to those people who may have known about this and fixed it without telling anyone (which puzzles me why you made that an example of why non-proprietary software is better): FU you selfish bastards.
Apple was already mentioned so it's another Slashdot Hat Trick.
Yes. And we don't have to worry about Trojan anymore. But now that I think about it the containment wessel was shipped to Hansford and buried. It would be a real bitch to see that thing floating back downriver.
Actually, "bring it on". Bonneville (one of the five dams below it) generates a considerable amount of power for my area. On the other hand, we'll need that water this summer if we don't get more snowpack in the mountains.
For the love of god don't waken the goatse guy.
This is what I keep coming back to. You have to initially turn on (log into) iMessage to start using it. And there are complaints because you have to log out for the service to stop working? And this is a lock-in strategy? Wow.
beer?
No, free as in bend over.
You keep saying "keep it contained". It's not contained yet. "Step 1: Contain it." See the difference?
apple software has "bugs".
It's a glitch.
And the Bobs fixed it.
iOS apps cope with being denied permissions. Why can't Android apps?
it's about the quality of the program / programmer regardless of the platform.
It wasn't discovered by Apple, lol. It was disclosed to Apple and they denied it. It was later disclosed publicly, so they were forced to admit it and fix it.
I can't find that information but I can find credible sources that contradict your statements.
