"@ cammiesoul Yep, you can. But if the app store is becoming main place for users to buy software, your site may never be found or trusted by users. So volume sells may become difficult. As I explain in the article. @ illektr1k Both: update has to go through Apple's store. Upgrades have to be full apps. I know the distinction. @ henleyregatta Hence the term "paid upgrades". Free upgrades will not entice Adobe to enter the store." - Henk de Kruyff

"I would not call spying by the US on fellow members of the UN a minor issue... I also would not call revelations about a director of a major UK bank minor issues. And I would not call revelations about meddling in another states nuclear program, i.e. playing with fire in a big way, a minor issue. Some revelations in these leaked cables do indeed constitute an exposure of widespread corruption and conspiracy. And wait what the next few days will reveal. The papers will probably handle this the same way as they did the expenses scandal back in 2009 in the UK: start easy, come with the real big hitters later on... We'll see. If you are right, the tea cup will be calm again soon. If you're not, this will have some major consequences. Whatever the case, it has shown that those that are empowered need to watch their step in future and at least try to be honest in both their intentions and their actions. That's what the article is about!" - Henk de Kruyff

"There may be a correlation but that does NOT mean the one is the cause of the other. It merely means there is a correlation. The study might have concluded with equal validity according to their standards that sex, drinking and drugs leads to hyper-texting and heavy use of social networks." - Henk de Kruyff

"What does it matter at the end of the day whether a platform is open or closed? There are arguments for and against for both and ultimately it is the user who choses which platform fits his or her use best. Both are functional. http://thesecondopiniontribune..." - Henk de Kruyff

"Well, the reply was not from me (the original poster) but it comes close to the mark. I am ashamed mainly because our country is now turning into a society in which broad minded individuals no longer figure. There is no more room for 'otherness'. A rich (as in rich in culture) society needs influence from other cultures. This is now being throttled by people like Wilders and his scare mongering. And if you read history, you will find that societies like that become dangerously narrow minded." - Henk de Kruyff

"The comparison is not ludicrous. If you care to read the piece you will read that the two are compared in terms of having a large market share and a dominant position. Yet that does not prevent both companies from having problems. And you may not believe it but Microsoft does have problems. Many companies have waited till Windows 7 before they upgraded. Now Windows 7 proves to have many of the same issues that Windows always had. In Europe and Asia many companies and governmental departments are therefor switching to Linux and Mac and that hurts Microsoft. Their large market share is a good cushion but for how long?" - Henk de Kruyff

Multimedia stuff from the delicate art of noise pollution. Some pretty photos and some funny video's. While a way a couple of minutes on your break. - Henk de Kruyff

Opinionated? Yes. But that's what some blogs are for: they make you think and agree of disagree. At least they get those grey cells moving. - Henk de Kruyff
