New iPhone Security Patent App: User Protection or 1984 iSpy? | Gadget Lab | Wired.com

Your next iPhone might listen to your heartbeat or scan your face to identify its rightful owner — and it could react with anti-theft measures if it ended up in the wrong hands, according to a patent application recently filed by Apple.

Why I Turned In My iPhone and Went Android

For such a long-time Apple believer and Mac/iPhone customer, the idea of turning my back on Steve Jobs and crew, stopping my app store and media buying preferences almost entirely and choosing a divergent path is not one taken lightly. http://blog.louisgray.com/2010/07/why-i-turned-in-my-iphone-and-went.html

Has the company that famously satirized the stultifying primacy of IBM-compatible computers in its Orwellian commercial for the 1984 Super Bowl finally emerged as the successor to Big Brother? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2009/08/11/is-apple-the-new-big-brother.html

Will Apple Embrace the Web? No.

I've been meaning to write this for some time, and for all the time I delayed the more poignant the point I wanted to make started to become as new news came out further solidifying my angle.

Is 2011 like 1994 for Apple, Twitter, Facebook, and the Web?

Un peu comme des manifestations pacifistes après une déclaration de guerre, depuis jeudi des milliers de développeurs ont assailli blogues et forums pour critiquer fermement la position d’Apple.

Aujourd’hui à 17h, heure parisienne, Adobe lance la dernière version de la Creative Suite!!! http://codemoiunmouton.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/lancement-cs5/
The saga of Adobe and Apple or, more precisely, Flash app development for the iPhone, is drawing to its inevitable conclusion. It all started with Apple’s change to its iPhone Developer Program License Agreement – the notorious article 3.3.1 – which banned the use of the Flash-to-iPhone converter. In the simplest of terms, the article makes it meaningless for developers to create Flash apps that target the iPhone because Apple can ban them at any time.

Polling amongst our Mac-orientated user base suggests that many developers are outraged by Apple’s decision and do not believe that they should be dictated to regarding their choice of development tools.
