We all knew this was coming. Of course they relax the rules to allow the use of iPads. Now that several months have gone by and the technical people spend a lot of their nights figuring out how to how use it safely in their corporate environments. And what training they could get for some of the common software that the bosses are using. Also also to learn the answers to questions like “How do I print” and “How do I get this stuff on my SD card” or at least find the information so when the boss asks they can say Apple didn’t provide an easy way, here is what you need to do every time.
Best Buy to make tablet computers. No way! Who else is going to get into it. Will consumers be able to understand what they are buying? Will they think it’s Microsoft Windows? Will they care?
This is great. Flash on iPhone I wonder what Steve Jobs is thinking about it. while you need a jail broken iPhone, iPad in eight steps you could be watching basic flash animations. To do this the install looks long and some what complicated, but if you went though the trouble of jail breaking your phone then you shouldn’t have an issue with it. Since it’s v 0.2 of Frash as the creator is calling it I’m sure if Adobe and Apple don’t come to an agreement that this guy will update his stuff to be easier and more full featured.
Why is it that the individual victom of a crime gets no help for free. I ofcouse mean the people who’s credit card numbers were stolen in this identy theft. The big companies will be safe but not there users. Is it my fault that the bank got hacked and my information got stolen? I can just see that it will be my responsibility for any identy theft that happens because of this. Where will my help be.
Apple stealing technology? I know Apple employees have been quoted as saying “Good artists copy great artists steal” Just how far did it go? Or could it have been that both companies developed the same type of technique and are now just bickering back and forth because they think that they can get some money off of each other?
Apparently all browsers have an issue that if you use the private feature so no one can track your usage doesn’t really work. It’s all in the cookies. This affects according to the article Apple’s Safari, Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox, and Microsoft’s, Internet Explorer.
The above article goes on about how bad it is to jailbreak your phone, it could void your warranty, it could also brick your phone. The article also talks about how Apple tried to get the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to make jail breaking illegal.
This brings up the real issue, “Should a device maker stop people from modding what they pay for?” This would be like someone who buys a car is not allowed to change the wipers, the seats, the steering wheel, the rims, the engine, etc of the car. People should not be allowed access to the ODC computer that allows them to change the pulse on the fuel injector and so on. Or even someone who buys a house that can’t remodel it. After all this is just a “smart phone” right? You should be able to do what you want with it. Right?
It really seems as though Apple has lead the way to making this acceptable, now Android phones have similar locks on it and I’m sure any new phone will have some kind of lock system on it, not to mention the kill switch for “unauthorized apps” and so on.
I feel the real reason to not allow this is to cut the technical support overhead out of it all. To give the user an easier time of using it. This way the company has complete control over what and how the user has making it appear that the device is better than what it is or could be because the person is kept away from harm. Harm that they don’t know about. So Apple is being a good Shepard and keeping the sheep safe. And because everyone loves Apple they are leading the way into making this acceptable in business and in everyday use. Papa Jobs will keep us from harm.
