Enfour's Oxford Deluxe dictionary app for iOS manufactures tweets on its users' accounts, accusing them of piracy. These tweets are triggered by a piracy detection check in the app which is of course buggy, causing the tweets to also appear on innocent users' feeds. Hilarity ensues.
I liked the article until his silly justification for allowing apps to do whatever they like as long as they ask first. It's so hard to keep track a bloo bloo.
Heh, so what do you think the likelihood is that they'll lose more customers than they prevent pirates?
I'm trying to process the notion that they have customers in the first place. It's not the OED, with citations and archaic usage, etc. Their screenshots don't have anything you can't get at, say, merriman-webster.com and Merriman-Webster has an actual app that's only $4 and includes gross, full color drawings of a human heart. Merriman-Webster: for all your human sacrificial needs.
