Oh man, this guy is an idiot. As Sherwin just said, “You know, the engine in my car is electronically limited to 2000 miles per hour, too.” George in this article is essentially saying that the…

@mike_ho Was it wrong for FCC to ask if AT&T was involved in blocking competitor’s application from “attaching” to the network? I’m not sure

@binarybits Agreed, but that’s not a world in which we live — nor would the industry allow it to be, on the Copyright or FCC side.

@binarybits How about the opposite: should it be “unlawful” for me to put the apps of my choice on Apple’s device? Apple cries © violation.

@mike_ho don’t think I said anything about FCC involvement.

@mike_ho I’d argue that on Mac computers, Apple’s want to control UI is irrelevant since devs can do as they please. iPhone is a computer.

Finding that my stock unjailbroken iPhone 2G is just as glitchy as when it was jailbreak’d. Hope 3.1 sorts things out.

New effort at GM to create vehicles based on the “necessity” of the perspective owner. Reaching out to the audience to tell GM what they’re looking for. Might just be a cover for a smart-like car.

The full story on Apple’s censoring of a dictionary app. Amazing what these people had to go thru to get into the App Store — and that they managed to jump thru all of these arbitrary hoops.
