But he recouped the money through charging people to see the movie. Not a counter-example at all.

Care to clarify, or do you prefer just telling people they're wrong? The linked article is on the surface convincing, but I have never touched Haskell

Really? Under what circumstances? I'm shocked, actually (not a Prē user).

Sounds like the startup environment (I'm talking 1-8 employees) would be a better fit. I too interned at a big company. Don't let it ruin the industry altogether!

So moral absolutes apply to adults but not children? There is never a case when spying on an adult could save their life?

I'm not sure about your examples. If you suspect your child may be suicidal, talk to him or her. If you do NOT suspect bullying or cutting, how do you know that spying is justified? I think you're "begging the question."

An up-to-date iPhone is not trivial to jailbreak, especially if it isn't yours. Jailbreaking is a specific kind of rooting. It "ought" to be virtually impossible.

Then good luck hiding your trail, reassociating the Apple ID, hoping no apps broke due to the jailbreak (it's happened to me), keeping the device associated with the owner's iTunes, etc.

That may be true, but we can hold ourselves as a community to a higher level of clarity and correctness.

Apple gets the press, but there is no Flash on 98% of cellphones in the wild. Or IE8 64-bit. Or Linux in 64-bit. What about people who only own a cell phone (VERY common in other countries)? What is Adobe offering them? Stop assuming everyone is a rich technophile.

No, it's a hundred browsers. So?

Would be against the TOS. Only "safe" apps will be on the app store, nothing that allows other apps to gain root access.

Oracle will provide the JVM, if steve's email is any indication.
