Gah! See my above rant, but seriously, how is he imposing his views on you when you are the one with the choice of how to spend your money! This is the sort of complaint I would expect to hear about how the government is spending tax dollars, which you don't get a choice about paying or not.
- nkassis 16y agoWhy can't potential customers or "partners" voice their opinion about what they find crappy about the product they would like to buy or develop for? It's feedback any company would want to get in my opinion. Consumers can't vote with their money but that has far less reach than we would like to assume.
- IdeaHamster 16y agoYou know...you're right. No single person ever did anything of significance. My vote with my money won't do anything. My vote on election day won't do anything. My life will never amount to anything. I might as well go buy and iPad and bitch about Apple's walled garden... ...nice attitude you've got there
- xanados 16y agoEven if I do great things, I can only do them in so many domains in a single lifetime. In all other domains, my only recourse is to complain about how they should be. The idea that no one can complain unless they would choose to overthrow the status quo within every domain is silly.

- sabat 16y agoApple is a cult. You either buy into the whole philosophy, or you go elsewhere. Steve has every right to run his company that way -- whether that makes him a dick or not.
