diveintomark.org: No 3rd-party development on iPhone
In The New York Times, Steve Jobs confirms every developer’s worst fears about the iPhone: “These [iPhones] are devices that need to work, and you can’t do that if you load any software on them,” he said. “That doesn’t mean there’s not going to be software to buy that you can load on them coming from us. It doesn’t mean we have to write it all, but it means it has to be more of a controlled environment.”
This may be the iPhone’s achilles heel. I bought my first palm pilot because I not only needed a portable organizer, I also wanted a device that could replace the multitudes of polyhedral dice that I was rolling in my D&D sessions. (I really, really wish I was making that up…)
The Register: ‘Spyware’ teacher found guilty of exposing kids to smut
A teacher whose classroom PC displayed pornographic images to school children faces up to 40 years imprisonment. The pop-up images of couples fornicating will the likely result of spyware infestation, according to defence witnesses testifying on behalf of teacher Julie Amero, 40, Windham, Connecticut. But the six-person jury rejected this argument and convicted the substitute language teacher on Friday of four counts of risk of injury to a minor after just two hours of deliberation, according to local reports.
There’s nothing funny about this.
