dear all, <personal opinion>apple is making its users a prisoner of some its products and services. not only is apple restricting freedom-of-choice to its customers, it is also punishing with a heavy hand those who dare to deviate. take a look at this report by bbc on how an apple update on the iphone has made the iphone a dead brick in the hands of people who wanted to unlock it to work with other ISPs. </personal opinion>
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7017660.stm in contrast to the ironically beatles-inspired apple, take a look at openmoko's vision and philosophy towards end-users. www.openmoko.org my conclusion: as we move forward in time, choose your personal digital freedom first, over any other feature or value in products and services in the digital age. :-) niyam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
