Good lord. I need some kind of super-flag to hammer this kind of idiotic, vitriolic, nonsense into the nearest incinerator. Though by the tone of it someone already missed the incinerator, hit the author, and caused serious brain trauma. Because of an offhand comment during a Q & A about possibly filtering some ads, the logical conclusion is that Apple is going to censor political and advocacy adverts. Well, perhaps. Then the logical conclusion of that is that the government will, in some kind of bizarre revenge strategy, spring into action with anti-trust lawsuits against Apple (for what is not made clear), whilst the Pope calls for a holy war against all things Steve hath made? The conclusion of the chain is that this might take down all of Apple? Freedom of expression doesn't guarantee that a network has to carry your expression, and there are plenty of advert vendors who filter their content aggressively (many print magazines, children's outlets etc). This does not cause the implosion of the underlying company, nor a jihad directing users to march on the corporate HQ. I would seriously suggest that the author, who spent $500 for a device he hates and maintains a weblog all about hating this device, would find a better use of his time and money in therapy.
