TFA also forgets an equally important links to prior security material released by Apple, which discusses the technical details and architecture contrary to what TFA suggests.

It's the latter. You cannot sell your book cheaper anywhere than iBooks - it must be your cheapest price (or the same as everywhere else). Where I live, the government would call that a clear cut case of collusion, and they would get that contract clause smacked down so hard they'd be reeling for years. Not so coincidentally, Apple doesn't offer iBooks here.

Any company that does not pay dividend and is not a new IPO is a scam.

Complete bullshit, WWII was a consequence of Hitler's actions.The US wasnt even involved in the war until 2 years in. This is a classic example of americanism - believing the world rotates solely around the US.

Actually, the question is "what was the loud wooshing noise going over your head?"

Why would Flash take more battery than a normal app? Is there a suck_battery_life() function somewhere in the API nobody else is using but Adobe?

At least they are. We all know companies that'd rather die than admit they were wrong.

There are still interesting problems in not allowing to download or update any code. With the rise of jailbreaking iPhones and them running unsigned and modified applications (cracked and/or otherwise), there is no way for an anticheat system to update itself. All anticheat systems like Valve's VAC, PunkBuster and Blizzard's Warden rely on downloading updated code from the internet.

I can see it now, in the board of directors meeting "Apple is printing money with these at $500, I bet if we double the price, we can make twice as much money!!!"

That has got to ... be the worst Shatner ... impersonation ever.

Wow! Noone's going to see your Shatner impersonation if you're posting at -1.

Why don't you try to get more karma? It's not hard.
