That's why I titled my bit on what was causing the iPhone performance hits as "Spectulation - ..." I could see that one getting around the internet very quickly as fact as well. The premise for that was very logical... I agree.

I'm not saying that this kind of thing isn't newsworthy. Not at all. It is. What I'm saying is that the speculative items are being reported as fact, not speculation. The story was being reported as "Apple can delete apps" and that simply hasn't been substantiated. Period. It should be reported as supposition NOT fact. Don’t misunderstand me.

Sorta. Kinda. Don't most apps make use of some type of digital signature. Is there another precedence (outside of spammy trojan stuff) for a public URL that is used to ok a program for access of any type. I'm not so sure the overall tone of "Big Brother" is totally off the mark. Is it overstating the importance of this online list? I don't know? Fact is nobody knows. I saw Daring Fireball this morning -- and really I think his is just another opinion. I wasn't really swayed one way or the other. I still find it odd that there is a URL that possibly the phone dials into - and yeah, I think it's newsworthy and warrants mention as a possible issue. umm, ok. Sorta. Kinda.
