Apple Can Disable iPhone Apps, but Should They?

its hard to write a crappy app for a mac because the system uses a resource fork and a data fork in each document or action the app performs. the app calls the system for instance "give me a window" and the toolbox throws up the window and the app developer can go and assign functions to the menus and what not but since the system produces all this stuff for the app its hard for the app to affect the system itself (its a one way relationship) thats why macs are so hard to hack and why apps all have the same look and feel. since there are 2 forks it is not possible to hide commands in information like you can in certain command line interfaces which shall not be mentioned lest we have a sweaty fat guy start yelling "developer" at me
