iPad Proves Apple's Advantage Again

Quoting:The fact is that the web is perfectly suited to handle many of the functions that are currently being handled in Apple's proprietary App world and development platform. Yet we can't get enough of their stuff.

Speak for yourself. I won't touch another Apple product again, nor, as it happens, will a lot of people I know, and people I have influenced, who've never been duped by Apple.

Just think how exciting it will be when the iPad is actually available.

*insert ritual rant against Web apps*

Exciting, yes, for thieves of all stripes.

I cannot think how a commercial for this awful company ever found its way onto this site. Did you guys get hacked? Or was it so well disguised as an article that it slipped by the spam filter?

Personally I question why any DaniWeb articles get posted here. Has there been even one worth clicking to?

That's because we post anything related to FOSS / Linux, sometimes even 'beyond'. All decision making / filtering is done by mere human(s) and not by some fuzzy-logic computer decision algorithm. Scott and Sander, the people who decide if the stories are 'approved' for our queue or deleted, don't like to do any censorship so yes, bad articles may also be posted because we (the editor team) don't want to decide "what's good and what's bad for ya". We refuse to act like the Chinese government, and Daniweb articles being posted is a result of such a decision.

It's up to you, my dear reader, to do the filtering. 'Blacklists' have been proposed in the past, but I'm not sure if it matches the KISS-principle of this website. Most of the time, if everything worked out like it should, you can see something is from Daniweb without leaving LXer - so you can skip the article without visiting Daniweb if you want.

While I'm not as adamant about it as tracyanne is, I have never owned an Apple product and I am not planning on one either. I have tried them from time to time and I just don't get what all the fuss is about. I
