Anymore cheapskates proudly advocating pirated warez here, and I'll have you notified to both the authorities here and to Apple. You got the dough to buy the iPhone, but too cheap to buy the apps? You dont deserve the the iPhone then. Part and parcel of buying the iPhone INCLUDES the cost of assimilating the apps, updates and other side-costs (there is a reason why it incorporates EDGE/3G in there) to make full use of the iPhone. Just like you loan from bank and skimp like hell to buy your Porsche Cayenne but too cheap to buy petrol, but go sipon/suck petrol off other people's cars. Replace "Porsche Cayenne" with your iPhone and "petrol" with the apps you just selfishly pirated.

If you want to pirate, keep it to yourself, or keep it off this site. Go advocate your cheapskating nonsense elsewhere. For a measly price of USD0.99 to 4.99, which equates to RM3.50 to 17, if you cant afford to save that amount of money (which in turn is the average price of a daily food ration), then you chose the wrong phone.

Typical Malaysian mentality. shakehead.gif

Share your car's petrol with me, can? If cannot, then the same treatment you should adhere to when it comes to your iPhone apps, because these apps are the fuel for your iPhone.

What happens if you cant afford petrol because your car guzzles so much fuel? Either downgrade to a smaller more economical car, reduce the usage of the car, or eliminate the usage of the car altogether, by taking the bus or LRT to work. Same case with the iPhone, If your iPhone guzzles up your money so much, either reduce the usage that requires payment (EDGE/3G connection costs, AND the apps), use apps that uses these connections sparingly, or dont use these apps at all.

Senang cerita, ukur baju kat badan sendiri. Dont just because everyone else is using these paid apps/games, you MUST HAVE them, that's greedy!Have them if you must, but have them LEGALLY. Either save up enough funds to get them, or find other cheaper/free alternatives from Cydia/Installer. Want the good stuff, have to pay lah, there's no two way about it. After all, you derive your enjoyment out of it, and yet you selfishly kept away from the barter agreement you're supposed to adhere to: payment. You benefited from it, but you refrain selfishly from paying for that hours of entertainment you get from your games, or the hours of productivity you receive from your apps?

I myself am wanting so much to buy all these wonderful apps, games, TV shows and HD movies on iTunes, but I dont have the dough. The right way to do it is to get it through the legal means, a.k.a pay for it. IF I cant pay for it, I find other legal *keyword here is legal* means to do it (for example, I cant afford paying for Battlestar Galactica TV shows on iTunes, so I watch streamed FREE episodes on NBC.com or Hulu.com, which are legal), and not depriving these producers/developers of these digital content from what they deserve. Their livelihoods depends on it.

P/S: This is not a flame, this is the repeat of the many response I have posted whenever a selfish pirate decides to gloat about his piracy achievements. It is not intended to flame, but to educate. Malaysian mindset have been quagmired in piracy for so long, they themselves take it as normal and okay to do so. It is NOT.
