To me Palm are acting very strangely in this. If they want to sell a product that interoperates with another manufacturers software and make that interoperability a selling point, they need to reach an agreement with the software manufacturer. Fat chance as it's Apple.
Whether or not we agree with Apple's policies regarding iTunes/iPod is not the issue here. Palm are being irresponsible in trying to piggyback on another company's success without reaching an agreement with them.
"As with the Android client, the native iPhone version of Spotify rejects streaming as the method of acquiring music, and it's really just another proprietary music download player, pulling songs you request out of the Spotify desktop client's encrypted cache, and syncing them to a mobile player."
Very unwise of Mr Clarkson. In the UK, direct debits can be set up with minimal information over the phone or online and the bank then think it's your job to sort out any problems.
Update: The bug occurs regardless of the type of destination being moved to (whether it’s local USB, local Firewire, SMB, etc.). Also, I have been informed that this bug goes back all the way to Panther.
Because if people could install OS X on any PC, people wouldn't need to buy Apple computers. Apple makes its money out of selling devices, not software.
Most technology companies know that you can charge early adopters a premium and then sort out the pricing from there. Always best to wait for the next version with better spec and lower price.
So, if 55,000 units of software are worth $2 billion according to Microsoft, the average unit price is $3,636. No wonder people are pirating it. And we thought M$ UK prices were extortionate.
The sad truth is that most companies these days seem to have crap so called 'customer support'. I guess some bean counter decides that it's cheaper to piss off a few people, rather than offering first class support.
Unfortunately, most computers are made in the far east these days and you inevitably seem to get the occasional turkey.
One point I would make is that if your business depends on use of a computer it's a bit risky to rely on just one machine. You should really have a backup machine in case of problems.

I thought the wording was a bit strange, not referring to bogus emails as usual.

Strange behaviour

Is this right?
Your article says:
"As with the Android client, the native iPhone version of Spotify rejects streaming as the method of acquiring music, and it's really just another proprietary music download player, pulling songs you request out of the Spotify desktop client's encrypted cache, and syncing them to a mobile player."
Yet their video clearly says it's streaming.
Come to Greece
Vodafone sell an unlocked 8GB iPhone for €499.00 in Greece...
Lesbian and Proud
As a British resident on Lesvos, I'm trying to get my male Greek friends to wear "Lesbian and Proud" badges. Not much success so far...
UK Direct debits
Very unwise of Mr Clarkson. In the UK, direct debits can be set up with minimal information over the phone or online and the bank then think it's your job to sort out any problems.
Still, couldn't happen to a nicer chap....
Been around since.....
Update from blogger:

So this isn't all that new.

Early adopters

much hyped
Yeah, OK, you've told us a zillion times it's much hyped. I think you've got the point across...
Microsofts figures

Nobody's perfect

No mention of bogus emails as usual
