Heard the latest Kerfuffle over the apple patent to remote-disable the camera on Iphones and Ipads depending on location ?
Supposedly its to stop naughty people recording concerts and other live gigs (like anyone would want to watch Iphone footage from a concert) -
But how long do you think it will be before the authorities decide to tell Apple to shut off all those cameras at protests, raids, crackdowns, G20 meetings and anywhere that they feel like being a bit ..forceful and dont want too much evidence hitting youtube ?
There are good reasons that I refer to Igadgets as "Shiny Handcuffs" you know.
Pretty, fashionable, easy to put on, but much more difficult to remove if they dont want you to. Thus the term "Jailbreaking".
Enjoy your voluntary step into their Jail (ahem, I mean "Garden" )
Bahaaha i can so imagine Brett at some rally sitting there with a collosal luddite super 8 recorder glued to a CB radio type contraption. ILL SHOW ALL YOU CONSUMERIST JOBSWORTHS.
I just like how apple has grasped the concept that the common consumer doesn't care for this power user shyte. we don't know what to do with it so why give us/them the option to screw with it and break everything.
Its easy to use and basic as anything out there + cuts out all the guff and jargon that the majority of the population doesn't understand. So i guess its the polar opposite of something like linux, and why its become so raging popular.
Its pretty apparent, that tech heads just cant actually bring themselves to grasp that fact. How dare it offend their mighty computing knowledge. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

At the end of the day, I like the quality of the Apple hardware, yet to find any other phone or laptop that I can openly say I like better. Software wise, regardless of if its Windows, Linux, Mac or iOS, Android, Palm etc etc, there's pot holes with all of them, it's just how good of a user you are to not let the limitations or downfalls affect you.

IMHO, Nokia is the worst on the market right now... I was a big fan of nokia for many years, but they have turned to shit. We use Nokias at work for all our staff, and the problems are endless. Reception issues, software issues, update failures, battery failures, bluetooth dropouts, email sync drama, PCB corrosion and the list goes on. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/
