The Swing Of Things

Don’t even bother to link to this guys so called blog - a funny little site with clip-art spaceships from the ’80s and… buckets. Obviously it is exactly what he wants everyone to do. The retard is attacking IconFactories excellent Twitter app - Twitteriffic - claiming they owe him big time since they got him hooked on an early free version, and now suddenly demand you pay a wholesome 15 bucks, or accept that you are fed some nice looking ads from the Deck. Basically it sounds like the guy had this thing with a syringe, and his brain now is defunct because of the ads blocking the veines. Or something. Bottomline, he uses the same lame arguments as all other freeloaders uses (y’know; all those hairy, bad smelling people that’s always there when the beer is free, and goes home once it’s their round); “We don’t want to pay for this - it’s digital, no one gets hurt, no material is lost, we wouldn’t buy it anyway, it’s not worth anything….” yeah yeah, the list goes on. Most funny argument though;

Don’t worry, my friend. Twitterrific isn’t such a complex app that a half-decent (preferably open-source) coder with a few spare hours couldn’t whip up a decent clone.

So, instead of “whipping up” that decent clone in an hour or so, it’s - well - better to spend the time hacking the existing app instead. Either this Marc Fiszman and his “Odelbee” friends are totally crap at coding (rather obvious) or it actually does take quite a bit of time to make - and support - such an app (even more obvious).
I bet there are SO many people that will just love working with this Fiszman guy over the next years…
