Closed is never better. I guess it's like saying "If I eat _all_ my meals at McDonalds, the world would be oh so wonderfully predictable and consistent"

- krainboltgreene 17y agoYour analogy is off. Using an iPhone/iPad doesn't harm me. Eating all meals at McDonalds does harm you.
- eplanit 17y agoYou're misunderstanding the analogy. The writer is a fan of closed platforms. In the analogy, McDonalds = Closed Platform. And, yes, closed platforms are unhealthy. I know how to think. Thanks all the same.
- protomyth 17y agoThe lessons from Atari and Nintendo would seem to indicate closed has been a better strategy in the past.
