Analysis: Jobs & Co. have filed for a patent on tech that embeds ads into operating systems and makes you prove you've watched them.

thats just shitty, you buy the phone and than you have to look at advertisements all day? as a consumer i would not be happy to see this since they not only made money off of me but they are also making money from these advertisements.

It might be a method of selling apps... you have to watch so many minutes ads to get so many credits in the app store. Everything from timeshares to Godfather points (as in Mafia Wars at MySpace or Facebook) are sold this way.


That being said, instead of buying moronic apps by watching ads, I'll keep my WinMo phone & get the same apps for free from any one of the thousands of freeware/shareware sites on the internet. Does Apple have an app for that?
