Prisoner of iTunes - the iPad file transfer horror
,----[ Quote ]
| The solution is by no means
| straightforward, as this anonymous Android
| developer explains. With Android, the
| ability to back up and restore apps also
| gives users the ability to steal apps, so
| how does Apple give more access to the
| file system without trashing the
| marketplace it's built with iTunes?
|
| Currently I understand the difficulties
| the company finds itself in, but I'm
| likely to get a lot less understanding if
| there's no sign of progress in the next
| update.

Who said Macs were for creative people?
,----[ Quote ]
| Letâs never forget that Steve Jobs used to
| buy what would become Pixar from the
| LucasFilm company and that he sold it back
| to Disney, becoming one of its
| shareholders in the process.
|
| Steve Jobs is therefore a many of the
| âentertainment industryâ as much as heâs
| an IT genius. Too many people forget it.
| Because of the focus on developing and
| selling machines for digital content
| consumers who are supposed to pay for it,
| one can come to see the iPad as one other
| device to consume paid content. The point,
| unfortunately, is that the lines are very
| much blurred at this stage between pundits
| taking on the angle of the tablet metaphor
| and the ones focusing on the business
| model instigated by Apple on the iPad (and
| the iPhone, indirectly).

Apple's model labour practices
,----[ Quote ]
| Beating Microsoft might warm the cockles
| of Apple fans' hearts, but it really isn't
| the best benchmark if you understand the
| statistics.
|
| Statistics are not the media's long suit,
| however. In the last few days, the
| headlines have been screaming about a
| spate of suicides at Apple's supplier,
| Foxconn. Trades union and labour activists
| have been calling for a boycott of Apple's
| next iPhone, to punish the company for
| doing business with a firm where the poor,
| abused workers apparently see no way out
| but to jump off the roof.
