No, as I've already got a "locked" device - an iPhone :-) That would be UNIX® |

Did you see the solution was to lock your device so you could only use manufacturer approved applications. Turn it in to a proprietary locked device! Amazing, it is only when linux is made into a proprietary system that it can have traction. I just wonder is it because linux is so good or is it all about the marketing department? |

No, as I've already got a "locked" device - an iPhone :-) No it's not. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the influence of Unix in academic circles led to large-scale adoption of Unix (BSD and System V) by commercial startups, some of the most notable of which are Sequent, HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, and Xenix. In the late 1980s, System V Release 4 (SVR4) was developed by AT&T Unix System Laboratories and Sun Microsystems. SVR4 was subsequently adopted by many commercial Unix vendors. Other operating systems that emulate Unix to some extent are often called Unix-like, although the Open Group disapproves of this term. The term Unix is also often used informally to denote any operating system that closely resembles the trademarked system. The most common version of Unix (bearing certification) is Apple's OS X, while Linux is the most popular non-certified workalike. |

It most certainly is a Unix device. I'm not sure where you're getting this stuff, but it doesn't seem like you are reading what you're copying and pasting. |

It most certainly is a Unix device. Yes. I'm a bit confused myself:) Anyway, OS X is partly UNIX and partly MACH. |

It most certainly is a Unix device. Somewhat understandable. iOS isn't UNIX® because it doesn't include a shell. Mac OS X is UNIX® 100% through and through. What it is made from doesn't matter as long as it passes all requirements and does what it is supposed to. |

This thread is to debate the pro's & con's of technology, I'd like it to stay that way. I feel that the last several posts have strayed far off that debate. |

just for you Wiggo Try to keep up Glenn, that as well as this was posted in thread 1... Appeal Court overturns Apple decision |
Wiggo Send message Joined: 24 Jan 00 Posts: 34841 Credit: 261,360,520 RAC: 489 |
Yep, every ban that Apple has won has been over turned Glenn. ;-) Cheers. |

ok i couldn't find anything that was recent about it so i figured it must still be the same . Good to see that not all the courts are on the payroll of Apple seeing as they can't talk stealing wi-fi and not paying Royalties to the ozzie inventors until they where taken to court . |
