Arguably punk rock’s poet laureate, Patti Smith occupies a curious position within the rock world. Having influenced generations of future icons, from The Smiths and REM to PJ Harvey, she retains something wholly unique within modern rock. This is exemplified by the hypnotic beat-style spoken word fused with three chord riffs of her early albums through to her brave and unconventional cover versions of the likes of Nirvana and Prince in her later works. Steven Sebring’s documentary, narrated by Smith herself, was shot over a period of ten years on a mixture of colour and black and white 16mm stock, capturing the artist perfectly in an archive-like manner. Each frame resembles a meticulously planned still photograph, even in it’s verité moments. One of Smith’s powers as an artist is to draw you into her thoughts and views, to the extent where you hang onto every word communicated through her iconic and hypnotic voice. Sebring uses this to his own advantage, compiling clips and still images that reinforce the enigmatic presence shown in her music. That’s not to say however that his portrayal is fantastical; at one point Smith is shown struggling in good humour with simple guitar rhythms, which comes across as a comfortingly human. Utilising years’ worth of live footage and interview clips, some dating back before the release of the seminal Horses, the film is essential for anyone with even a passing interest in this striking performer.

Shipping a 360 or PS3 game is magnitudes harder than shipping an iPhone App. Developers should shut up and code. The iPhone is a closed platform and everyone knew that up front. It's just another paragraph that goes in the business plan. There's no point complaining about it. I 100% agree. Shipping a 360 or PS3 game is magnitudes harder than shipping an iPhone App.

It's a mobile computer. For a lot of people, a mobile device like that is supposed to be a gateway to the office, to family and friends, on the road, it's supposed to be a mini-laptop. Would Apple ban Thunderbird on OS X because it competes with Mail? This is a pretty weak argument, unless you think the iPhone is a toy. Yeah, but the iPhone isn’t a gaming platform.

It is a CONSUMER electronics platform. My mom can give two shits about someone's app getting banned, so long as the ones she downloads are easy to use and don't crash her phone.

That's an amazingly poor argument, and please don't try to justify it by pointing out worse arguments have been made.
