Apple Wants Patents For Crippling Cellphones
,----[ Quote ]
| "Evil is in the eye of the beholder, but there's certainly not
| much to like in the newly-disclosed Apple patent applications
| for Systems and Methods for Provisioning Computing Devices.
| Provisioning, says Apple, allows carriers to 'specify access
| limitations to certain device resources which may otherwise be
| available to users of the device.' So what problem are we
| trying to solve here? 'Mobile devices often have capabilities
| that the carriers do not want utilized on their networks,'
| explains Apple. 'Various applications on these devices may also
| need to be restricted.'"
