I hope it does something revolutionary like run more than one application at a time. Also it doesn't look all that great but the iFairies will love it.
Yeah smacks more of the usual Apple apologist drivel masquerading as pro-consumer piece. I love the faux outrage over Palm scoring some PR hits against Benevolent Apple. Like that tactic is the exclusive domain off couple of companies. For the most part iTunes has been DRM-only for a longer time than not and so there are millions of morons out there who have their content walled away in iTunes.
The reason why Connect360 isn't disabled is because the tech media isn't fawning and extolling it. Otherwise you'll see yet another "update" waiting on you that will reduce functionality by disabling it. How about some outrage over that? Going out of a way to disable functionality solely out of spite and then having the gall to call it an update.
Dear Leader Kim Jong Jobs must be real proud by the glorious example set by this guy.
It's also fitting that all the Fanboi rags including the gadget blogs are putting on kid gloves when approaching the Apple angle of this story peddling that cold Press Release with no follow up questions. If this happened to Sony or heavens forbid Microsoft I can imagine a slew of Photo-shopped Ballmer pics screaming at or decapitating an Asian guy along with heavy dose of Faux Outrage.
Seriously, they "interrogated" the poor guy over a shiny plastic product? WTF. This company and those that enable and rationalize its BS "secrecy" schtick need to take a long walk off a short cliff.
So Nilay is like Gizmodo's Jesus Diaz. The resident Apple wire services monitor. There isn't a bowel movement at 1 infinite loop not newsworthy enough.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
