I don't understand people who have had problems with their Windows laptop/PC. I've never had a problem. Equally, lots complain about iTunes being shit and not working. Again, I've never had a problem.
It's just the people who use them, not the soft/hardware.
Exactly. When i saw i might get a mac, people and my parents are like, "well they are hard to adjust to at first, it takes forever to get the hang of them."
Well no. Im good with computers. I can fix problems on a windows to make it run smoothly and i can figure out a mac. So ya most peoples opinions are just based on what they find better.

Will you please STOP GOING ON ABOUT PIXAR! The hardware that they use has nothing to do with any Jobs prerogative.

A couple of stories on BBC today related to Apple, felt this was the best place to post rather than making a whole new topic. One suggests all is not well with the good ship Apple these days and the other...well judge for yourself
Web Scam Hits iTunes
Doesn't look to be a massively serious problem, but tell that to the people who've had accounts cleared out. I would have thought by now that iTunes would be more secure than that. I suppose though, if it's phishing, then the blame isn't really on Apple, it's on idiots who give their passwords away to dodgy sites.
BBC News
In related news, Dan Goodin at the Register reports on a patent application filed by Apple for "an elaborate series of measures to automatically protect iPhone owners from thieves and other unauthorized users". However, he warns, that the patent also includes functions that would allow Apple to identify phones that had been "jail broken" to run unauthorised software:
" The application, which was filed in February and published Thursday, specifically describes the identification of "hacking, jailbreaking, unlocking, or removal of a SIM card" so that measures can be taken to counter the user. Possible responses include surreptitiously activating the iPhone's camera, geotagging the image and uploading it to a server and transmitting sensitive data to a server and then wiping it from the device."
Now this is something I really can't get my head around or even come close to supporting. The one saving grace may be if your phone gets stolen. I imagine quite a few do get stolen with people walking around with them in their hands to show them off, so this would probably be a good idea if it was just for that. But the Jailbreaking thing is going too far. Apple has built a massively closed unit, with a similarly closed App Store the only real option of modifying it. Not everyone is jailbreaking their phone to try and get away with paying for apps - a lot are doing it so they can use the unit to it's full potential, allow it to run things that Apple doesn't like. I really don't like the idea that Apple can then turn around and remotely switch off your phone in this event. And I especially don't like the way they sound like they're going about it. getting the camera to stealthily take a photo, geotag and then upload? It would be brilliant if it wasn't so shady and only in place to protect Apple's closed-mindedness.
Anyway, discuss.
