It is strange that the technological behemoth firm that brought us the sensational iPod, the powerhouse that is the  Macbook Pro and most importantly the greatest phone ever made (until a week ago), the iPhone should have the title of Apple.

From the range of earlier products from Apple Computers, like the Apple palmtop computer, also known as the “Newton”, it is easy to understand that the creators of this firm christened it after the famous now rotting apple that fell atop Isaac Newton’s head. As the story, which can now be considered a prophecy went something like this: the fruit that fell on Newton’s head sparked his genius to realise (not discover) gravity. Sadly enough the action that the apple chose to carry out was to “fall”. The same will be said of the computer company now.

THE Apple computers, recently scrapped an iPhone app allowing Google voice features. There is a variety reasons and contributors and reasons as reported by Lifehacker. In a short scrap, the iPhone despite having all the Gmail apps and maps, does not want a Google Voice application, apparently because it provides similar functions as the carrier’s services.

Consider this:

Technological liberties are more important than human rights, civil, military, religious, gender, sexual preference and the liberty to drink a strawberry flavoured Vodka in a state that does not allow alcohol. One might ask why, the answer is simple as it is plain, technology has more capability to change countries than guns and nuclear bombs do. Regardless of whether you are a Google, Apple, Nokia Microsoft or macrohard, if citizen journalism platforms like Twitter and facebook did not exist we would have had more innocent casualties in the Mumbai terrorist attacks, more jorunalists might have been killed in Iran.

Technology is freedom, and as Apple has clearly demonstrated even after the end of piratebay.org (RIP) that they can and will continue to be the evil force that gave rise to hopes and dreams but now only corrupts technologically motivated souls, for their own personal profit.

Free technology, boycott Apple, feed a hungry kids in a third world country some apples for a year with the money you would have spent on an Apple product.

Yes! That means that you could flip open that iPhone, Android phone or any other kind of smartphone, and access my site in full HD! Not really…. But it will change the length of the sentence when you’re trying to make sense of my genius…. I know I’m not modest, but I’m a little new to this human life.
