Apple heading for Supreme Court showdown over iOS App Store 'monopoly' gripe

Damien Jorgensen

"because of the walled garden"

Do you live in a gated community too and get your shopping exclusively from one supplier?

I wonder what peoples reactions would be to a single provider for household electricity, or indeed to only using the GPO for their internet connections.

Apple is milking its users. Some of them are are deluded they actually love it lol

What a load of balls

There is yet again more tripe from Linux Fan boys on here!

.NET = Simple, Quick, Easy, Faster to make!

That is why people use it, features!

Yes we pay for them to Microsoft, but to be fair if someone had something as easily adoptable we'd pay them.

C++ what the f**K has that got to do with .NET? Who the hell uses managed c++, you use .NET for c# and vb.net. and condering its global update it would suggest other feel the same too.

As for linux on a desktop, 1 million pc's you say lol. Good god, thats a lot is of ASUS junk people have bought.

I could also add if you have 50 million downloads of some linux distro in a day, I bet half never get installed and the rest get uninstalled after a week lol

Why? Linux = Utter Crap for Morons with no life, unless its used where Unix/Linux should be on a server

Linux on the Desktop. you might as well fill your computer with a cow pat

Linux is as usful as a computer full of cow Manure.

If consumers had a choice at the time they purchase a computer they would go with Windows. They could go and buy a nice BSD box from apple if they wanted. But lets face it not many do.

Why? Becuase the software on these platforms is crap.

The OEM deals and the channel add value to the consumer. It prevents people taking home crap

Hats off the the Feds for trying to bring the sillt women to justice. If she hadnt been online playing a fool then the girl would probably be alive.

And the truth is she provided false details and she should be held accountable

RE: In the EU similar problems are solved easily

That is not the same thing, as an EU based retailer you need to charge VAT to everyone in the EU that isnt VAT registered. And where people find a loop hole they just change the law to ensure you cant do it any more. i.e. the channel islands and online purchases

What a load of shit, thats balls.

Stock issues are always the problem at PC World. You go there to buy a laptop becuase you want or need one that day and its NEVER in stock. I tried 4 times last year and had to goto another store on each visit becuase it wasnt available.

Even their macs wernt in stock, the only reason I got it in another store was becuase they couldnt be arsed to stick them our on display

Thank god we have at last one decent ISP.

And I for one if they do decide to fight will switch to Carphone Warehouse.

Yet I dont even share files or use P2P.

Sod BT, who on earth wants to use that junk? They are happy to sell our their customers to some adware shop, so I cannot imagine them wanting to upset their former owner!

FFS Mac Fan boys shut the f**k up

OSX this day is more insecure than Windows and Linux.

Its not hard to get your head around.

For all that c**P about picking OSX becuase he wanted the mac or something, for god sake hed get $10k no matter which machine he get into.

And if I wanted to win, I'd pick the easiest box to break!

Damien Jorgensen

OSX Is as I've always said CACKOS

Anonymous Coward:

Windows XP, you cant compare that to OSX, its been replced buddy boy. And thus far its proved far more secure than OSX. So secure the latest SP even secures it against its desktop user lol.

But come on, those people that use OSX which think its safe, or safer than Linux or fully patched Vista are the kind of people that drive a french car becuase it cam with alloy wheels, or drive an Audi becuase they pals at the graphic design shop think their chic lol

CACK OS Browser on Windows

Safari is cr*p! It does a bad job displaying websites, its annoying, it crashes and above all I wouldnt have itunes on my pc in the first place.

Major Linux security glitch lets hackers in at Claranet

Unbundling could cost you £125

Damien Jorgensen
Thumb Up

lol, Freeloaders

If people are stupid enough to go with the rubbish services provided by the likes of Tiscali, why would BT want them back.

If I were BT I'd make customers pay £300 to come back and decent a decent service.

My own thoughts are the kind of person to get caught out by this is the kind of person that is financed up to the hilt, in the coming years wont have a home let alone a telephone line. So who cares!

Tiscali bandwidth throttling flub fix flops

Damien Jorgensen
Gates Halo

Thickos

Why not just change ISP. Tiscalli has always been a pile of crap.

Pipex was never really that much better, I recall their prices 10 years ago and the price didnt match the service.

So why not give good old BT a call, or how about Demon? At least their service works

Sun reveals war on data centers

Damien Jorgensen
Gates Halo

They have cracked!

As Steve Ballmer has been saying for years, Sun is a stupid company! To think we were once partners with them, yet since the depature of McNealy sun has gone from the odd nut case remark and action to full out mental asylum case. I suppose moving to such a HQ was forward thinking for the outfit!

Why is anyone in IT going to give up the data centre? Why is Sun better suited to running a large data centre than an IT team that actually knows its own systems?

And how can having a data centre geograpically located elsewhere be cheaper? Unless of course we're talking about current Chineese pay rates lol

I just wish Sun would do what it does best and innovate, not spout crap about some wacky idea becuase IBM is kickings its ass

T-Mobile bundles Wi-Fi with Web 'n Walk

Comes as no suprise that TMobile is the only mobile operator that gives a shit about consumers! Seems a fair price for a decent service!

US Army loads up on Apples for 'better security'

Damien Jorgensen
Linux

OSX?

Hmm I could sort of understand using a Mac as a desktop, that might increase the level of security from the suers point of view.

But Apple servers? What is wrong with Solaris? AIX? Or even a zSeries running somethign crazy?

Wouldnt that be even more secure than some Apple server cack?

pcworld has its place

pcworld has its place if you need something quick

but whos going to waste their money buying a hard disk there? if you want something just as low quality there is ebay and iots usualy half price.

oh so the computer comes with vista, big deal, theres nothing wrong with it! Its got nothing to do with PC sales.

most of the thickos that goto PCworld to buy a computer dont even know what Vista is and they arent going to object on that basis!

Perhaps people have wised up to the fact they can get a far better service at lower prices elsewhere!

yer but 1and1 costs a LOT less, and come on having a UPS that works and a power generator that they can get running isnt exactly diffucilt. They should have a backup backup generator and if they want to get their credibility back then they better go buy one soon!

And they might as well sack whoever checks the generator!

Node4 are very good in Birmingham and they despite their price tag they offer a pretty decent service.
