I work for Honeywell, and I can tell you that Honeywell has the same security policies as Apple. In fact, even though photos are not permitted in any facility, our company supplied Blackberry’s have their camera’s disabled by security policy, and the SD card slots are disabled as well.

And I seem to recall that Motorola has a security policy that requires employees to completely clean their desks off when they leave for the day.

So Apple isn’t as draconian as some.

Gus,

This is usually the easiest way to get Daniel’s attention, and I think that there’s a good article waiting on the Mono-Touch technology, and that he should be the one to write it.

As to the New York Times, like most of the big media outlets, they don’t understand technology, and when they write an article about technology, they mess it up. Daniel is right to call them on this. Hey, maybe next time they might get it right!

Roger Entner can definitely be described fairly as sometimes stupid. but a “shill”? based on what? who is he taking money from now in exchange for biased opinions? Verizon was an IGA client where he worked two years ago when he first dissed the iPhone, so maybe then. but Nielsen is much bigger – are their opinions for sale too? or does Entner have his own consulting firm on the side? need some facts here …

-1 @MadHatter for threadjacking (or does “monotouch” describe your sex life lol)

The NYT story is now being widely repeated by other popular news outlets, with the iPhone haters spewing the nonsense as if it were indisputable fact. I’m sure Stross is furiously patting himself on the back. MotherF****R!

So it seems that one of the great journalistic publications of our time is being called out and corrected by…an internet blogger? Isn’t that one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?!??
