The initial iPhone OS, before it was called iOS, shipped without copy and paste or 3G at a time when all mobile operating systems had both copy and paste as well as shipped with 3G on their premium models. The first iPhone certainly qualified as a Premium Device.

Video and streaming media is not at all alone. Think of it as just being a more geek friendly topic as opposed to the patent litigation that passes for innovation for everything from aviation and to exercise equipment.

I get that the overwhelming majority of Hacker News supports Barack Obama and feels the need to be very vocal in their support of him online. I understand that every two to four years their is a lot of online discussion about how evil Republicans are and how they hold us back in every way. I understand that acknowledging this as politics and not as the absolute truth to the way things have to be is very unpopular online, even on this site which is supposed to be relatively free of politics. But why do I always feel left out? I don't want to participate in the months of hate-Hate-HATE to whatever Republican candidate happens to be in the running for office. I personally don't think Romney is all that bad, and I don't think that Obama is all that good. I like technical things, not political things.

Wait.

He means that instead of becoming open-source and dying, it became a Mozilla/Firefox situation.

What is a "multimedia app"?

Will you provide links to your website as well?

> You can't run GPLed software on iOS.

This is 100% not true. GPL v1 and v2 are fine and v3 has some questions that most people avoid by sticking to v2 of the license. There are, however, GPL v3 licensed apps in the Apple App Store which you can find if you only looked.

And to think it ruined an otherwise brilliant teen comedy. Next week it'll probably tackle VI vs. Emacs, explaining that Microsoft Word is a superior text editor to both. Maybe the season finale will cover how Bing is a better Internet Decision Engine than Google. Oh, think of the cliffhangers when patent litigation is covered!

The word "irony" is frequently misused and doesn't mean "unintended consequences" or "rain on your wedding day". Irony would mean that those who supported drilling were actively trying to increase CO2 emissions and failed. That was not the intention of the Oil Lobby.

The Usenet readers had kill file's. That is the only solution which will have an overall improvement with no downside.
