Apple’s iPhone mentality: I told you so
7 August 2008 at 3:23 pm | Techy, NuisanceMost people who know me also know that I don’t particularly like Micro$oft bashing as a sport primarily because it’s not just them.
It’s just that I never had enough non-Microsoft examples to prove why I thought so. However, slowly, over the years, it’s coming out …
Apple’s iPhone 2.0 has a special “feature” that connects to the apple servers to let them know of non-apple (3rd party) programs you have installed on the phone and if any of the installed programs are black-listed by apple, then the phone actually disables it!
Wow, sure, it’s for my safety from malicious programs!
What a load of crap.

ROTFL.. Apple has gone nuts. Even though nobody can match their UI skills, their business practises are getting microsoftish

Apple has always been like this. It was just that its products were never as popular as MS products so their tactics didn’t get as much press release. Think about it, till recently the Apple OS only ran on Apple hardware, even with the iPod they initially only supported Mac systems and only after they got a lot of negative publicity they started supporting windows systems.
