>Similarly, Dave Winer releases a very well-written piece decrying Apple's hubris and bad faith, then signs off saying, "Oh btw, I wrote this on an imac while checking my Apple stock on my iphone." I took that as heading off the crowd that would start up with ad hominems claiming Winer only wrote this because he hates Apple and wants to see them fail. He wants to see them succeed, which is why it sucks that they've handled this issue so poorly. And I mean, I understand where he's coming from. I think Apple has traditionally built great products and I love my Macbook Pro. That said, I disagree with their walled-garden approach to the iPhone and it's looking increasingly likely that I'll be replacing my MBP with a PC notebook running Linux because of the way they've let OS X stagnate over the past few years. I want to see Apple continue to make great products, and if they build products I want, I'll buy them. That doesn't mean they get a pass when they do something I think is stupid, however.
