I don't know, as a developer Apple's OS install and development policies hurt and Apple's refusal to let you do things like hack their hardware hurts. And sure I wish Apple was being even more progressive by doing things like selling the iPhone unlocked and open for all networks, thus pushing phone carriers to compete a bit more. But that said, Apple has done a lot. They push design and refuse to let feature complexity compromise the beauty and simplicity of their machines. Arguably the iTunes music store single-handedly pushed the music industry to drop DRM. The Webkit project has led to a highly advanced and open-sourced HTML5 platform. And Apple has focused their build and packaging process to be more environmentally "friendly". They are not infallible, and I'm sure many people here would argue that their contributions to the good are far outweighed by the bad, but the point is that it's easy to forget these positive things amongst all the bad press.
