apple forums ... ps:
... yeah I forgot to mention that they of course deleted my post asking why the one before was edited :))) ... lol it's hard to respect people like that. I've posted on TechNet forums tens and tens of times and never had such issues. There's just no censorship on Technet (except in some extreme cases, obvious and repeated trolling etc...). Okay I'm done here for today ;)

apple forums
whatever the issue was in the case of this article, I'm not surprised. This is Apple forums. I've only been there a few times. My very first post there was deeply edited because I was mentioning applications ripping off the iPhone's contact list. Probably because I mentioned the apps names (Fring) and accused iOS of lacking protection against these at install time, no prompt etc... And when I ranted - politely - about the reasons why my post was edited, I received almost instantly a mail from the forum admins telling me that I infringed the forums policies by just asking why my post had been edited, that - in their view- that meant questioning Apple forum rules and this was not allowed either. I mean these guys at Apple discussions keep claiming that it's a user based forum but still, they are mandated by Apple to censor anything that could disturb the company. Basically this is one of the worse public forums I ever visited. In terms of technical value it's not really better: Whatever the issue is, 9 times out of then a poster is advised to reset his device.
Oh yeah, there's currently a bad issue affecting tens if users' iPod Touch showing graphics glitches following the 4.3 update ... no feedback so far. We've even been told - by mods - that Apple doesn't read the forums ... lol. If Microsoft is bad (which was never my opinion), I wonder what Apple is... a bunch of worshiping employees ruled by a local egomaniac, Steve Jobs. I mean I like the guys for some of his ideas, but too much is too much.

China announces Skype ban to protect telco revenues
Tuesday 4th January 2011 11:14 GMT
yeah sure...
of course it has nothing to do with telecom margins, or not much... and I doubt the authorities there are VOIP encryption fans :) ... and on a side note, Skype doesn't belong to Ebay anymore guys... "In November 2010, eBay completed the sale of 70% of Skype to a consortium comprising Silver Lake Partners, CPPIB, Andreessen Horowitz, and the original founders" (wiki)

Mozilla rages at MS, Apple and Google's 'trojan horse' tactics
Tuesday 30th November 2010 10:59 GMT
okay but...
hope Mozilla won't choose the Linux way... they avoided it so far..., and I was happy about that. I mean they're not going to improve anything by strategically bashing the competition. This is ridiculous.
And on a side note, plugins can be disabled (not uninstalled though, unless uninstalling the corresponding software). This said, VLC offers at setup time the option to install or not its plugin. Okay there's been a case when MS installed an unwanted plugin silently, through .Net framework 3 a few months ago. This was then rightfully criticized at the time, and that served MS interests only not the user's. But Apple QuickTime, Google Picasa, Update etc..., MS silverlight plugins are needed, so...
