-1 : I am very uneasy with the "evil" / "not evil" characterisation. There are many practices that are in a morally grey area but they don't go as far as invoking demons. Maybe it is because English is not my first language that this figure of speech has always bothered me.
-2 : I don't really see Apple as very different from Amazon or Google or any other tech giant. They are here to defend their bottom line and IMO they have remarked that ads were an easy critique of their rival so they are tabling on it.
If only they could :
- stop changing their TOS every 5 minutes and make them actually human readable.
- let anybody distribute an app on iOS, even outside of the app store, even if it competes with iTunes, Safari, etc
I would be way more inclined to cheer for Apple and call them a defender of our liberties. Another issue is that as far as net neutrality is concerned, this is scary.
