Europe: Apple could NOT care less about kids' in-app cash sprees

Fraudulent fishermen

Lying scum with carp products. Jesus! Didn't realise the coarse fishing scene was quite so sinister.

I'm guessing you're the same spittle flecked ranting AC I replied to earlier.

To help me understand, I want to ask a question. No subtext. No agenda. What is it about formats, be it phones, tablest, games consoles, OSs, whatever, that gets people quite so worked up?

Infantilist tribalism (obviously) plays a part, but still, I just don't understand the venom people display towards anyone who decided to spend their dough on a different product.

It's such an common thing on these forums. It's actually depressing to think that the Reg (purportedly being a sci/tech site) should attract a readership of the brighter minds among us.

How disappointing then that when a newcomer arrives they just find all the usual partisan 'crapple is shit', 'shamesung is shit' bollocks that you see on gizmodo.

Guys, have a fucking word with yourselves.

Re: best nannies in town

Wow. Just... wow. Having an axe to grind is one thing. Then there's whatever the hell is wrong with you.

Did the ghost of Steve Jobs piss on your kids or something?

Seriously, reel it in, mate.

Re: Saw their photos in the Telegraph

That photo is fantastic.

I love the fact the photographer got them both to hold their stomachs, as if to say "... but I'm just soooo hungry. I'm waaaasting awaaaaay...."

Re: Piracy??

Musical fascist alert.

Just because an artist isn't to your taste, that doesn't necessarily mean they're talentless. Now get back to listening to Coldplay.

Implication being...

...that all Germans ever were Nazis, and all Russians ever were Soviets?

The game featured swastikas because it's set during WWII, as you correctly state. Where's WWII mentioned in Civ though? The country had more leaders in its history than just Adolf, so why focus on that cock?

Also, ever stop to think it might be a question of decorum? How palatable do you think a game like Civ would be if for example you could play as Pol Pot and win?

You're looking for a conspiracy, where none exists.

Did you even read the article (from April 2010) that you quoted?

"Last night, we received an unconfirmed report from a user who appears to have the first iPad virus..."

There are no updates on the article, so one might assume that if they haven't confirmed it in 18 months, it might actually be a load of BS.

Never let the facts stand in the way of a good trolling oportunity though, hey?

Speaking of reality distortion fields, yours seems to be working marvellously.

Not surprised

Downvoted into oblivion by people apparently eaten up with rage about a tech company.

FFS, get some perspective, people.

Thanks

for proving my point exactly.

Evil, for God's sake? Compared to who? Which tech company are you using for comparison?

Please do share with us the name of this shining paragon of corporate selflessness.

WTF?

Never ceases to amaze me ...

... just how vitriolic people on here can be about a brand of telephone.

Do the same ranty fuckers accost people in the street who're carrying Tesco bags because they themselves shop at Asda?

Honestly, if a product doesn't appeal to you for whatever reason, don't let it eat you up with rage - just don't buy it. End of discussion.
