Coming To An OS Near You…
By
Apple has reportedly filed for a patent on ad laden OS to possibly reduce the cost to consumers who are will to live with the ads. Personally, I can’t see much demand for what boils down to a spam OS and doesn’t seem very Apple-ish.
So seeing an Apple patent application for “Advertisement in Operating System” attributed to “Inventor” Steven Jobs himself is enough to send chills up the spine. The idea is to make the OS free or at a reduced cost, something Google knows a thing or two about. Unfortunately, the idea presented would offer “visual or audible” advertisements that “disables one or more functions while the advertisement is being presented.” Ugh.
