Jesus Diaz's next flame-bait Apple article:

Every item listed in this article is based on the popularity of the devices. I'm not saying that's an inaccurate measurement of success, but I am suggesting that its not intrinsically laudable. Is Steve Jobs a "man with a vision"? Yes. But what was that vision actually something praiseworthy? Maybe not. If I were to…

You don't want to start rewarding people for enduring ignorance, we would never be able to keep up with people who watch Fox News. But seriously, patent laws, like all laws, should exist to facilitate the public good, and if people on here really feel, as I do, that patent laws are stifling innovation then they have…

I could not disagree more with this post; because he is basically suggesting that we keep re-inventing the wheel over and over again. First off, this is an unnecessarily expensive suggestion that will only drive up the already inflated cost of smart phones. Second, consumers don't WANT new and confusing new approaches…

I wonder how a really CLOSED system like iOS would fare on these kinds of tests...

I like how you put "belief" in quotes as if I said it. I didn't. Maybe you should stop and ask why Jobs switched his position on web based apps vs. native ones. It wasn't apple caving to the demand of developers, it was apple realizing that the apple controlled market was big big money. The day I can go to a website…

Amazing, Apple announces facial recognition in iOS 5, and a few days later Gizmodo springs to it's defense...

There's no way Apple can buy Hulu, and here is why: They have rejected all current technologies that allow for video streaming over the web. Hulu currently uses Flash to deliver their content in browser. Apple has rejected Flash across their mobile platforms, and has even allegedly taken some hostile steps against it…

A note of reason to Apple Fanboys:

I think anyone would have a hard time making the case that patent laws are regularly abused in the tech world, and this is clearly one of those cases. Imagine if corporations had always been as aggressive about tech patents: Apple likely would not exist because IBM would have patented a "digital computer for personal…
