    "That's called good business."

    ^ But good business, if it's taken to its absolute extreme - is sometimes bad for the consumer. In the case of Apple's closed platform .. their 'good business' sense, leads to lack of freedom for us.

    Our lack of freedom might be a minor inconvenience now - BUT, in the future - when this computing paradigm is copied by other large corporations - it might become the standard for all computing devices. This would be an absolutely awful thing, imo.

    • This is hilarious. You keep saying that Apple is shit, but you think they already have a monopoly.monospaced
    • They released their product just a few hours ago.monospaced
    • I just think that there should alternate App Stores available - which aren't governed by Apple.lukus_W
    • They've been running this way all through the iPod and iPhones lifespans.lukus_W
    • I don't know why my PoV is so controversial .. this is what I mean about Apple producing an emotive response.lukus_W
    • I didn't say Apple are shit ;) jeezlukus_W
    • Wow. You just don't get it. It's not illegal to open an App store online. Nobody is being stopped from doing the same.monospaced
    • I'm potentially being stopped from selling Apps for the iPad though. I can only buy Apps from Apple.lukus_W
    • _Personally_ I think this is wrong.lukus_W
