  1. Comment - Spurned iPhone developer's complaints mysteriously disappear

    (Sep 25, 2008 - 12:22 AM)

    This article is bogus, it first says "many application developers", then a few sentences later it says only "four" have been impacted. 4 !!!

    This is a non-story... sure, around 10 developers might be a bit miffed over the next year, but there are 1,000's that make iPhone software that is useful and doesn't duplicate functionality of Apple own software.

    Geesh!

  2. Comment - Zune Meets One Million Goal

    please don't lie:

    you can install an iPod battery yourself, people do it all the time and it costs about $20.

    do a google search for - ipod, battery - and you'll find all kinds of them. $20-$29 depending on how much power you want.

    the software that syncs to your PC is extremely bad, managing music on the zune is a nightmare, and worst of all MS is trying to use a "point system" when you buy music, so you never know what a song costs. expect the zune to be quietly discontinued within 18 months.

  4. Comment - Symantec Reports on Mac OS X Virus

    Another false warning with the sole purpose of selling Anti-Virus software. Technically, OSX users DO NOT need anti-virus software for the simple reason there is "technically" no way for a virus to spread within the construct of OSX. It's a UNIX OS, in no way related to Windows.

    the sooner everyone learns this, the quicker everyone can learn to ignore these false reports of "just another clean room" example.

    Apple does all security at the OS level, not the USER level, so if there is a problem, run OSX software update, but buying "anti-virus" software only remains a figment of the PC Windows era, never needed if you have a Mac.

    OSX is based on Unix PEOPLE! PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. The "USER" is totally separated from the OS!

    Windows & Microsoft Products are the ENTIRE problem of Virues, and current day Security, they was poorly programmed, and are in NO relation to better made OSs and Applications such as exists with OSX.

    If the world was FLIPPED and OSX had 90% share and Windows had 10%, 100% of the Virus, Security problem would STILL only be on Windows! OSX is THAT Secure. IT has ZERO Viruses for a REASON!

    OSX does not suffer from these issues, it was designed and built to be ON a NETWORK, and has decades more real world use than Windows could ever hope to have. OSX is FAR more tested! Think about it!

    If you never want security issues, get OSX, it's SECURE by Unix based - DESIGN, if you don't, waste money and TIME by running Windows.
