Building a good product doesn't mean you have to be a hypocritical bunch of assholes, building a good product means creating a compelling product that people want to use.

I understand what "partisan politics" is. I don't, however, understand the above. What makes something compelling? Hurricanes might be compelling to me, but that doesn't make them good.
- jsz0 17y agoSorry I didn't think it was very confusing: Partisan = strong commitment to an ideology. In this case open vs. closed. Politics = the rules, methods and policies that dictate how a company runs internally and externally. So the point is Apple uses open and closed source/platforms/standards on a case-by-case basis. Most of their products a hybrid of both. It's hard to be hypocritical if you don't commit. That doesn't preclude them from making bad choices for other reasons.
