iPhone Worm Hits Australia

You can still write your own app and run it locally, without AppStore approval...

It could be worse ... you could end up with Britney Spears ring tones. ;-)

As far as I know only if you're a registered and /paying/ developer.

Just another one-hit-wonder "created" by the music industry because he looked good to females, rather than someone who actually has any talent.

I wonder if it would still lip sync ?

Meanwhile, at the alt.internet.wireless Job Justification Hearings, Per Rønne chose the tried and tested strategy of:

By that logic, buying an iphone is the problem.

It might have a melt down ....

Correct. Only $100 stands between you and becoming a paying developer.

As a child did you grab the crayon and scribble all over the page, or did you stay in the lines so it didn't get all F'd up?

And since I'm a computer science major I should be able to develop such an application. The matter is whether I find it worth the efforts taking into account it would be illegal - and since the owner might decide to develop the proper dictionaries with newer data.

I don't consider it worth the effort.

On the other hand, if you've done all the work, the owner MIGHT decide to buy the application off you (it would be cheaper than doing the work themselves). :-)

I don't think so. Gyldendal is the oldest and most dominant Danish publishing house [founded 1770 - and with a market share close to that of a monopoly]. They make their own decisions and the data I have come from an old version of the Danish-English and English-Danish dictionaries for Classic Mac. In html-code - 15-20 years old.

I think the size of the dictionaries has increased hevealy since.

I made my own lines, then drew within them. I've made a lot of money through life doing that, too.

I drew where I wanted, and then drew the lines around it.

You could make a generic dictionary app that can download and install dictionary data, then it would do what you want and not be illegal and be acceptable to the App Store.

Of course - with a proper description of how data should be structured before import.

"Drew"?!? How quaint and old fashioned. Those of us with brains clicked on the paint can icon, clicked on a colour, and then clicked in a blank outlined space ... a few clicks later you click on Print and you're finished. ;-)

I remember way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth buying a large A3+ cut-out model of an R2-D2-style droid which you had to colour in ... my younger brother "helped" and ruined it by colouring outside the lines, and there were none left to buy another one. :-(

I started drawing on the page and then moved onto the desk, table, chair, walls, floor, etc. Rigid artificial boundaries are not for me.

Then your parents came a smacked you for being naughty ... which was meant to teach you to respect the rules. Of course, in these days of "politicially correct" garbage you aren't allowed to smack children for being naughty, and hence so many people think they can simply do whatever they want. :-(
