It seems Apple haters are coming out of the wood work just to attack poor defenseless Apple! Apple does things they way they do them because they work. And the proof of that is illustrated perfectly in how cool and popular Apple stuff is... and by extension, anyone who uses Apple stuff is also cool and popular. So why can't people stop reading all these legal issues and get back to fun and sunshine!

I've been devoloping software fro the iPhone since the day it came out. i don't see any problem.

"...If you want to develop Free Software, Linux.com (Shares corp overlord w/ Slsahdot )..."

Wow, /. editors can't even spell their own name? Somebody should give them a pointy hat and make them go sit in the corner for a bit ;)

Exactly. Nobody can beat Apple in terms of how cool their product look and function. Who cares about licensing and compatibility when you can just use their SDK to build products for their phones etc? People are buying Apple products in droves - that's clear sign that Apple is the winner here. As a developer, I would just sign EULA and get down to building some cool software rather than just worrying about GPL.

Apple is just another company in the market to make money. Why should they bother with Open source? I want my ipod and iphone to have cool apps, no matter what.

Go Apple! Ignore all the hater. They are just jealous whiners.

I put on my robe and wizard hat [albinoblacksheep.com].

Would you like some chips with that?

iScream! uScream! we all scream for iScream!

Uh, 'scuse me while iRead this iSummons from Apple's iLawyer. Who isn't so iCool or iPopular. But nothing's as iCool as iScream!

Did iMention that iGot an iOperation [slashdot.org] last week?

iKid, iKid! ok iGo now.

Is it just me, or is this especially funny seeing as how it was edited by CmdrTaco? Makes you wonder what was on his mind. Hmm, I know what's on my mind right now...

You do not has it.

STOP THE PRESSES, FOLKS! This guy doesn't see any problems. There must not be any!

There are a handful of different popular vehicle fuels.

Yes, but it met the Slashdot requirement of being a car analogy.

Oh, ok. I think I've just solved the prostitution problem for the US using the same approach: you can pay women for sex, but only if the woman in question is your wife. Ta-da!

Avoid it always.

Sunshine? WTF dude, this is slashdot. We're all supposed to be hiding in the basement!
