Reports: Apple Near To Opening iPhone To Third-Party Apps - Apple Unvarnished - InformationWeek:
All companies have rules and regulations, for the most part we follow those rules. Why can't Apple have rules too? My cell phone company has it's rules and restrictions that allow me to do and only do what they have made available through their services. Any successful business has it's 'terms & conditions' (Oh, is this that bad word CONTROL?) we sign off on those 'terms & conditions'. hmmmm?
To consumers who have complained about the iPhone or any other Apple product. I guess that you are the ones that are never happy with anything and are always complaining about everything, unless it suites YOUR needs. What about everyone else's needs? Idiotic and selfish!
I have been a Mac user for many years and have gone through all sorts of changes with the company, and guess what? I am still a Mac user. If your a true Mac user you would appreciate the steps that Apple is taking.
They have developed a cell phone that is changing the industry worldwide (remember the iPod? yep... people complained that they could only use iTunes). BE PATIENT PEOPLE, WAIT FOR THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY TO CATCH UP! AND IT WILL!
"Rome wasn't built in a day" The more you complain the more you are giving Apple the drive & ammunition to develop a solution THAT WILL"BLOW YOUR PC MINDS. Maybe then and only then you will understand!
To some of you I may sound stupid and idiotic... well you sound stupid and idiotic to me. I'm sorry if this message sounds to harsh, it's my message to tell just as you have told yours.
In the business world (No means Yes!) Complaints, just makes the product better. Your messages to Apple tells them how to move forward for consumer satisfaction. What will you complain about then?

RFID Implant Cancer Questions Concern Patients
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- News that radio frequency
identification (RFID) implants could pose dangerous health risks -- even
cancer -- has the healthcare and personal health records (PHR) industries
wondering how to provide medical professionals with vital patient health
records in case of emergency.
A simple, free and non-invasive alternative already exists. Consumers
can use Web-based services, CD-ROMs and simple paper-products designed to
hold critical data that can be easily accessed or carried, said Steven M.
Hacker, M.D., founder and CEO of PassportMD Inc., a leader in
consumer-managed healthcare products.
"It's a twist George Orwell couldn't have imagined -- that some 'big
brother' computer chip injected under the skin may jeopardize your health,"
Hacker said. "Products like PassportMD provide a safe, secure and
non-invasive alternative. It's free and the information is immediately
accessible without access to a phone or Internet connection."
Glass-encapsulated RFID transponders from companies like VeriChip are
implanted under the skin. A special scanner must be used to reveal a
16-digit code that's then entered into a Web database to retrieve the
patient's medical information. Earlier this month, it was reported that
some lab animals implanted with chips developed cancer and sarcoma. Other
possible adverse effects include tissue reactions, migration of the
implanted chip, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) incompatibility,
electrical hazards, infection and even compromised information security.
Already used to identify lost pets, some 2,000 people worldwide have RFID
chips implanted for PHR applications.
Products like PassportMD.com provide safe and secure access to patient
records. Subscribers can create a free personal health record by following
a simple, 10-step tutorial. The PHR can be printed on a wallet-sized card
or can be accessed anytime through a password-protected Website. Unlike
chip-based solutions, PassportMD allows subscribers to store, access and
print living wills or advance medical directives. By upgrading to the
premium service, subscribers can use PassportMD's unique "Doctors Notes on
Demand" service that lets consumers easily request, receive, store, print
and access their doctors chart notes.
"Life-saving access to personal health records should be the solution
to a medical problem -- not the cause of one," said Mitch Bernatsky,
President of PassportMD, Inc.

better management and communication of their health with their providers.
