New iPhone Developer Agreement Bans th' Use o', among others, Adobe’s Flash-t'-iPhone Compiler
I dern't think this be anti-competitive. I think this be a strategic decision t' ensure that developers be required t' learn and use Apple core technologies, in hopes that they will leverage that knowledge into further iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Mac apps. 'tis restrictive, so misguided and will likely ultimately backfire, but 'tis not an unjustified business decision.

Someone just launched a Web service called “Unvarnished.com”. I’m, um, flattered?
I'm confused because, like, I still own and use "unvarnished.com" and have no plans t' sell it. So maybe just maybe they ought t' have picked a different name... But good luck wi' yer new company, matey!
