    @mono..

    True.. however due to the closed nature of their eco-system, this approach is by definition anti-competitive. So on one hand they require you to use all of their APIs and hardware, and on the other hand when they create a service that competes with someone who might have already started doing that, that startup is dead as we can see in this example.

    Read the first link I posted.. Why they have to close. It has a lot to do with brand new Apple rule that makes it mandatory for everyone to sell their books and content through iBook store.

    • Open/closed. It gets fuzzy. There's mad competition out there, and if Apple is that bad, they'll fail.monospaced
