Apple gets a patent to disable your phone’s camera
Last week I was frustrated in my attempt to take a screen grab of a frame from the cartoon Gravity Falls, which I was playing in iTunes on my Mac. The screen grab image showed the player window as gray-and-white checkerboard. Next, I downloaded a 3rd party screen grab application, and it gave me the same result. I ended up taking a photo of the iMac’s display with my camera. (The photo is in this post – it’s the one with thecartoony occult symbols). Thanks to Apple’s bullshit deal with the studios, the image has crappy video artifacts in it.
On Tuesday, Apple was granted a patent that could prevent photos and videos from being taken in particular locations. Other restrictions include forcing the camera to go to sleep so it can’t be used at all.
That’s right ifags. If Apple make a deal to prevent photos being taken some place. They could turn that function off in your phone. They already restrict what you can photograph. And you paid money for that phone.
Don’t complain. Just bend over and take it. It’s the Apple way.
