Apple FaceTime and Big Brother
,----[ Quote ]
| I watched the Apple keynote today,
| including the hilarious moment where the
| demo collapsed, working on the old iPhone
| but not on the new one (see, it happened
| to Google and then to Apple, they are in a
| fight!).
|
| [...]
|
| If this is the case, it is borderline.
| Actually, a bit bigbrotherish. Apple
| collecting all cellphone numbers of all
| iPhone users. Mapping them at will on your
| address book... I guess if this works for
| Apple, it is going to work for Google as
| well (they can do exactly the same thing
| on Android).
|
| Big Brother at work. Are you willing to
| trade some privacy over features? Probably
| yes: just a small percentage of the
| population is scared about it.
|
| Still, open source and open cloud look a
| lot safer to me.

Ten reasons why an Iphone 4 is a bad idea
,----[ Quote ]
| Steve Jobs, the Liberace of the tech
| world, showed off the latest Iphone 4
| smartphone with the idea that it will
| replace his stonklingly successful 3G
| gizmo. However here are ten reasons why
| buying an Iphone 4 is not a good idea.
|
| 1.Most of the problems associated with
| living in Apple's walled garden are still
| not fixed. You are still too dependant on
| having Steve Jobs decide what you can
| download and when. Since Jobs thinks that
| Adobe Flash is bad and won't allow it on
| Apple devices, you can't see half of
| what's out on the web.
|
| 2.The name implies that it is a 4th
| generation mobile phone when it is
| actually still 3G. Apple says that it is
| the Iphone 4, however some might be dumb
| enough to believe that it can use the 4th
| generation wireless broadband standards,
| although it really can't.
|
| 3.The Iphone 4 appears to have trouble
| with WiFi.

Why I Switched from iPhone to Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Ultimately, my reason for switching can be
| summed up thusly: I used to feel that, to
| get the best smartphone software and
| hardware experience, I had to live in
| Apple's walled garden. Now, the walls are
| getting higher, and life outside the garden
| looks better and better. I can get a really
| great smartphone without some company
| telling me I can't switch out the keyboard,
| or the dialer, or the voice mail program,
| or the browser. I can get a world-class
| smartphone without putting up with AT&T's
| spotty network. I don't have to put up with
| supporting a company that enforces its
| restrictive App Store policies in a
| seemingly arbitrary and draconian manner.
| I'm not sure I agree with those who say
| Google has "leapfrogged" Apple in phone
| development, but I certainly think they're
| doing a comparably good job.

Android Fanboys Have Arrived. And Thatâs A Good Thing
,----[ Quote ]
| If youâve ever said anything good about an
| Apple product, youâve likely been called
| one. But a new class of fanboy has emerged
| â one that, amazingly, may be be equally as
| passionate. The Android Fanboy. And itâs
| actually a good thing.
|
| In case you missed my review of the new HTC
| EVO 4G phone yesterday, be sure to read
| some of the comments. As stated, I was
| coming at it from the perspective of a
| dedicated iPhone user. Long story short, I
| donât really like the device. To the
| Android lovers, I might as well have killed
| Bambi.

Want Android On Your iPhone? Itâs Ready For Download
,----[ Quote ]
| Last month we reported that an
| enterprising young hacker named David Wang
| had managed to successfully port Android
| on to the Apple iPhone. Wang noted the
| release wasnât far away from making his
| work available, just that he needed time
| to clean his code before releasing the
| binaries for public consumption.

Try Out Android on Older iPhones
,----[ Quote ]
| Want to see what all the Android fuss is
| about? You can if you have an older iPhone
| 3G or 2G. 3GS owners need not bother; it
| wonât work yet. For details youâll need to
| head on over to Linux on the iPhone and
| read about the process. There is a version
| of Android that has been hacked to install
| and run on older iPhones.
