I'm glad that in South Africa, we have a balanced view when it comes to freedom, rather than merely accepting the western view in which freedom comes without consequence or measure (accept when the get-out-of-jail terrorism card is used that is). We in South Africa have freedom where it matters most, and where it doesn't come at the expense of others dignity, like freedom of religion. Freedoms which don't exist in western places like France.

However, I would have preferred that the take down was as a result of people expressing their views with their buying power rather than political or violent pressure. I stopped paying attention to any of Ferial's media with the cartoons that insulted my prophet and am glad with that choice after this spear debacle.

Apple Sucks

There I said it. It's taken months to try and sign up to the developer program and I'm still nowhere. They insist that legal documents have to be faxed through and the feedback is automated and slow. And the contact us page, in which one is expected to list their country of origin has every freaking country and region, EXCEPT for Africa?? Everyone on this continent is just meant to select other! What an insult.
