OpenTTD for iPad back on App Store after legal issues

| And, due to its open source nature on PC, the

| there really is no excuse not to give it a
| whirl, even if you think goods and passenger
| delivery sounds a little bit dull.

Open Source Developers Should Thank Apple? Did The Police Thank The Mafia?
,----[ Quote ]
| Blogger DJ Walker-Morgan says open source
| developers should thank Apple for raising the
| competitive bar. Rubbish! That's like the police
| thanking the Mafia for making them more work
|
| [...]
|
| Walker-Morgan's fuzzy logic has it that Microsoft
| had lowered the bar so low (I love it, another
| Apple fan boy bashing Microsoft. Maybe they can do
| a commercial on that or something) that open source
| developers were "doing just enough" to beat
| Microsoft. It wasn't until Steve Jobs took all of
| his open source based know how and technology and
| fused it into Apple, that the open source community
| had to really try its best in order to do one
| better than Apple.
|
| Utter nonsense! First of all, if Apple is using all
| of that open source technology, how is it that none
| of what they push down to us is open source? In my
| mind that makes Apple a parasite of open source.
| They have used the technology, are notmaking the
| resulting products open source and are contributing
| zero back to the community. Why is that any
| different with that and what the Mafia does? They
| both are just taking, not giving back and living
| off of the work of others.
|
| [...]
|
| Mr. Walker-Morgan saying that Apple makes open
| source better is like saying the Mafia made the
| police better. It would be better if they didn't
| have to!

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).
