They are not evil, just a bit Authoritarian. That dosn't settle well with many geeks but shiny can overcome that in some.

- gwern 17y agoI disagree; I think Apple's alignment is more Lawful Evil.
- cakesy 17y agoMicrosoft are evil because, well, pick one of a 1000 cases where they have chosen the evil option. From lying about their products, destroying good companies, stifling competition, driving up the costs of PCs, forcing propreitary formats, Internet explorer, etc... Google are evil becuase they gather large amounts of data about us, and us it for various purposes including targetting ads. Apple are evil for DRM abuses they used to use on their music store, and they still use on their devices, like the iPhone/Touch. They could make things easier. All depends on how you look at it.
- lurkinggrue 17y agoHmmm... that would explain a lot.
