Let me get this straight…?<\/p>\n
Apple is evil, because anyone can release software for it, but it has to go through a vetting (approval) process. An approval process that may reject the application, but you can then resubmit, etc…<\/p>\n
But the iPhone is a relatively open system, one where web applications require no approval, and you can literally use any web site, or web page you want…<\/p>\n
But it’s a platform that Apple has not shown the inclination to just randomly force you to use THEIR MANDATED web search engine. Correct?
\n<\/p>\n
\nVerizon has unilaterally updated user Storm 2 BlackBerries and other smartphones so that their browser search boxes can only be used with Microsoft Bing.<\/p>\n
The move is part of the five-year search and advertising deal Verizon signed with Microsoft in January for a rumored $500m.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
So Verizon, has decided that BING must be used as their search engine, period. No choice, just install this update, and now you’ll be Happy BING users.. Please make sure to make the “Bing” sound whenever your are done searching.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget the Kool-Aid when your leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
