I'd argue these practices are not nefarious enough to be called "spyware" Back during the deluge of spyware before there was much public consciousness about installing computer security software, almost all spyware was installed without the user'…

That's a darn shame Although I'm guessing the 512 RAM was left out because it wasn't perceived as necessary. I have a second-gen Touch running iOS 4, and so far I haven't experienced any of the slowness that iPhone 3G (the corresponding iPhone ha…

I have never and still do not see the value in having a set-top box that can run mobile phone applications. I mean, how are you supposed to interact with an iPhone app when you don't have a capacitive touch screen, an accelerometer, etc.? Also, i…
