> What I find interesting here is that Roku is using business practices similar to Apple and nobody seems to have a problem with it. True. But I would also argue that there's a different scope. Roku provides a device that allows you to watch video. That's its ultimate purpose. Apple provides multiple devices; their iOS products are meant more for mobile communication. As such it's much more user-interactive. More user interaction means more "value" inasmuch as there's more opportunities for abuse. You can use an iOS device to watch video. That's not it's sole (or arguably intended) purpose. The day that Roku provides chat apps and those chat apps can monitor what you do and where then that will be the day that I would like Roku much less.
