Apple is the new Microsoft, again

Microsoft has been bashed several times for anti-competitive behaviour, by trying to tout their own products over those of their competitors. Now it seems that Apple, in their trying to copy Microsoft’s success, is doing the same.

Håvard writes that Apple is blocking Opera Mini for the Iphone from entering their Application Store, since it competes with Safari. Apparently Apple doesn’t like competing software, just like how they don’t like competing hardware.

Another reason not to buy an Iphone, I guess. Not that I was going to, anyway. I was considering the Xperia, but it seems not to be compatible with the Sony Ericsson accessories I have, and I don’t feel like buying yet another set of chargers, docking stations and headsets. So I am stuck with my trusty ol’ P990i, which does run the latest Opera Mini, even if the latest Opera Mobile beta doesn’t work on it. :frown:

Expressen disses the Xperia X1No more UIQ phones from Sony Ericsson

  • Ny svensk spammare: AB Svenska Domäner

    I går ramlade det in ett nytt svenskspråkigt skräpbrev, den här gången med reklam om att registrera en egen domän. Lite komiskt eftersom jag har en egen domän, men det är klart, den var faktiskt sänd till en e-postadress som inte ligger på min privata domän (vilk ...

    Dagens IT writes about the Norwegian company Unified Messaging Systems AS who are sending out large amount of fax spam to companies, not only in Norway, but also in Sweden and several other companies.
