you know what i find funny? before version 2.0 of the iphone OS, apple required developers to make webapps for the iphone. There was no "app store" or SDK then. All google is doing is doing what would have been if apple never released the SDK.
shouldn't a flag be owned by the community it represents, not a particular person who designed it?
next up: the maple leaf is now copyrighted by Canadian Mounties. A mounty had this to say, "We have this flag, eh? and we should protect it from them ne'er-do-well pirates, eh. Eh."
so, if you live in Germany and have wireless, make sure it is damned secured. you can now be fined for something a wardriver does. nice.

In the end, the free-culture movement fails because it cannot setup a decent system to fund the creation of new works. Most of the people defending "free culture" either don't address this fact, complain that digital media would be more valuable to society if everyone could have free copies (without addressing the funding of those works), or they do a little hand-waving about authors getting paid with auxiliary sales or donations (which I don't believe will work for the majority of creations).
my favorite part of this? he is arguing about something that he doesn't understand past the money part.
It isn't about the money. It never was. If money tints the way you see every little thing humans do, then you are already lost.
There is this great thing, its called difference of opinion. Some of us like free(libre) software and while yes, most free(libre) software is free(gratis), not all of it is. I will pay for software i see a value in. I don't see a value in overpriced OS's, office suites, or most video games. In a completely free market i have the choice to spend or not to spend my money. Free(libre) software helps to make that more possible.
I don't know what crawled up your ass and died, but you need to chill out. Money is useless.
If a user comes to us and asks us, it is our policy to setup their email and calendar on their iphones. Our philosophy is that they will get it anyway and it is better if we have full control of it. We force them to have a security passcode and a number of failed logins and we can remotely wipe anyone's iphone. We do make them sign a waiver, though, if it is their personal iphone and not the business's.
We decided on this after we found a user forwarding all email to her personal gmail account so she could access it on her iphone. I work in a medical facility, so is a huge never do, ever kind of thing. we fixed it, and now noone is allowed to forward their email anymore. the only way to get email outside the company is through webmail or IT setup smart phone.
ah, money. those little pieces of useless paper-like material.
the things people will do for something as pointless as money. Lets forget the corporations here, remember, there is a person making these decisions. if normal people weren't blinded by their own greed and stupidity, maybe this wouldn't happen so often.

I for one don't want to follow the law "without reason"
David Thoreu said it best in Civil Disobedience:
"Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it."
give me a reason why those things should be illegal. Some I agree with, some I don't.
But I will never follow the law without reason.
