[citation][nom]damianrobertjones[/nom]As above... please don't even TRY to defend Apple. You don't see MS spouting 'we're perfect' every other second. Magical, it just works, revolutionary... my arse.[/citation]
LOL, why do android people keep saying "Apple says they are perfect"? I have yet to see any company say their product isn't perfect. Samsung, Sony, Google, all of them do.
P.S. It took Google 4 months to fix the last batch of bugs on my device, it's taking Apple a week...
[citation][nom]tobalaz[/nom]So since Apple bought some code and integrated it with free code they write their own kernel? They didn't write a kernel, they merged parts of one with another. Grant it, its close to writing a kernel but the fact remains they most certainly did not write their own kernel even if they did rename "their" kernel darwin.Since "their kernel" for iOS and OSX is a modified version of FreeBSD, it is subject to terms of the GNU Public License. While they distribute the kernel as binaries for OSX, they don't for iOS, so basically they're not only charging for a free OS but breaking the terms of its license as well. Google has ASOP to satisfy the GNUPL, so I can't poke at them for making their software closed. But, because Apple spits in the face of the GNUPL I'm more than happy to call the kettle black and point out thieves when I see them, and just think, Apple slams Android as the pirate platform! What a disgrace!FreeBSD started off as Berkley Unix, it might have evolved past that once AT&T went on patent lockdown, but its still a Unix clone, owes its roots to Unix and still is mostly thought of as Unix to this day.[/citation]
