Everyone needs to chill out and take a few seconds to look at what's going on here.
Firstly, whilst apple do like there money, there not stupid. They kno that if this were to ever happen, the amount of protesting by there users would cause them such bad pr eventually that it wouldn't be worth doing it even if it did bring them in some money as in the long term, it would be them that would be losing out. On top of this, they kno that a matter of days / weeks after they released this "feature", all the major tech sites would be running stories about how to disable the adds - its just the nature of some techy people, if they don't want to put up with something, they won't. I agree with those of you who think that they've done it to stop another company from doing it. What probably happened was that they were given some info about how another software company were going to do it and since they felt that it was such a bad idea, they acted in the best interest of consumers and secured the paitent. Calm down people, nothing to see here. On 19/11/2009, Tiffany D <tiffani...@gmail.com> wrote: > I doubt Apple would do that too because then no one would buy their > products.
