Title: Re: 2013-11-15 techcrunch.com - Apple Bumps Coinbase’s Bitcoin App From App Store Post by: Arvicco on November 15, 2013, 06:09:33 PM No wonder Apple share price is going nowhere. Post-Jobs, they just turned into a bunch of ultra-conservative technophobes, milking the legacy of a great technovisionary. In order not to see the potential of this new technology, you gotta be completely blind or confused. Or both... In order to alienate its actively growing user base, you have to be dumb, plain and simple.
One of the better funded app startups should sue Apple for damages, seriously. That'll teach this huge techno-bureaucracy a lesson or two, for sure. Title: Re: 2013-11-15 techcrunch.com - Apple Bumps Coinbase’s Bitcoin App From App Store Post by: exstasie on November 15, 2013, 06:28:40 PM I saw that...sad.
Happy that the app is still available on Android. Another reason to love android. Hopefully they don't get rid of blockchain app. Title: Re: 2013-11-15 techcrunch.com - Apple Bumps Coinbase’s Bitcoin App From App Store Post by: zeroday on November 15, 2013, 06:46:01 PM Just give up that overpriced fancy iPhony crap and switch to Android
Title: Re: 2013-11-15 techcrunch.com - Apple Bumps Coinbase’s Bitcoin App From App Store Post by: TraderTimm on November 15, 2013, 08:00:57 PM Apple is a restrictive "captive computing" environment. You don't notice the walls as much if you don't develop for the platform, but if you ever make the leap - it will frustrate the living hell out of you. You need to sign every app in XCode with no less than THREE certificates, if any single one is wrong or revoked, you can't submit to the store or compile your application.
Android is miles easier, you can sign your app if you WANT TO, but otherwise you compile an .apk and can send it to ANYONE, no restrictions. No wonder Android is eating Apple's lunch on marketshare.

Apple users don't deserve the benefits of Bitcoins. Their financial and social support of iStalins and HitlerPads is appalling. https://i.imgur.com/YSoBUC2.jpg Apple fully supports total information awareness on behalf of the all-seeing eye: Quote http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/09/04/antisec-hackers-leak-1000001-apple-device-ids-allegedly-obtained-fbi-breach/ The AntiSec hacking group claims to have released a set of more than 1 million Apple Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs) obtained from breaching the FBI. The group claims to have over 12 million IDs, as well as personal information such as user names, device names, notification tokens, cell phone numbers and addresses. Google isn't much better, but at least they pay lip service to 'not being evil' and eschew walled gardens. I also have a gut feeling there are more Snowden types working for Mountain View than Cupertino. The Google folk drank the Obama Kool-Aid, but the Apple people chugged it (and have a cultural problem with admitting mistakes).

Yup. Black box systems are in major trouble. Cant trust any of them. They are totally unworkable in the world of cryptofinance.

It could be worse, you could be like me and still have to use a Blackberry for corporate use. No wallets at all. I can bark surf the net on it. |
