Ars Freaknicas think that Safari is a real competitor on Windows. Huh?

See here. Standards? Well whoopdy doo, but they didn’t see Firefox 3.0. Speed? Yeah right. If I want speed, I open up Lynx. And let’s not forget it’s also malware.

Wal-Mart Idiots Stop Selling gPC

See here. Complete idiots. Yeah, they’ll continue selling it online, but they pulled it from the stores. Idiots. Idiots. Idiots. Did I mention they are idiots?

My rant about the GodPhone

So my counterpart mentioned that he’s just killed everyone with his “cool” new GodPhone SDK. I’m here to prove him wrong.

#1: It’s the distribution, stupid

Hey Steve. Some of us hate iTunes. Like we think it’s the second worst thing in the galaxy (the worst is the MacBook Air, a terrorist weapon). Maybe some of us would prefer using another program. Just maybe? And then there’s the fact that we can only distribute our apps through iTunes. Isn’t that like censorship? It’s like saying you can only create stuff on Linux using CNR. DUDE! I mean, they know it’s going to be such a failure that they’re going to PAY developers to build stuff.

UPDATE: I should clarify this.  You can only DISTRIUBTE your stuff through iTunes. You can download through something built into the iPhone. Some read my article as saying otherwise.

#2: Do you really think you can beat Blackberry???

OK, I hate RIM. But they say the enemy of your enemy is your best friend (though sometimes that doesn’t always apply. Case in point: Microsoft). Dude, Blackberry has such a big market share that there’s no chance that the iPhone will make it into the enterprise. Besides, the iPhone’s only asset is the “cool” factor (which isn’t really so cool anyway). And not only that, they want to throw a CAMERA on it! Security, anyone?

Speaking of security, that’s another thing. Maybe a company doesn’t WANT iTunes on their corporate machines. You know, security and all that?

Oh, and typical Apple wants to include censorship. At any time, the company that owns the iPhone can delete all the emails on it.

#3: You’re trying to put games on an enterprise device?

At first, I thought it was an enterprise device. And that’s great for Apple. But I somehow don’t think that the first thing a company wants their employees doing is playing Spore. Just a hunch. Maybe. Possibly. But I’ve got good hunches.

Oh, and who’d want to play games on something that small?

#4: Android’s coming…

…and it can do all the enterprise stuff, use apps WITHOUT iTunes, and is based on Linux. Oh, and you can play Quake on it.
