He miss a fundamental point: if I buy a fork there is no NDA about what kind of food I should eat with this. I think hardware able to run software need some kind of regulation that allows the user to run every kind of software he wants to run. Apple terms are violating this idea, that is not a law (unfortunately) but for many people is even more important since it's about freedom.
- alaskamiller 18y agoWhy do we keep comparing Apple with analogies? What if the iPhone was like a car? What if iTunes was like a fork? What if iPods were like cats? What if what Apple is doing is unique on its own and you examine their situation and determine whether you want to buy into it or not, instead of applying them to a standard in how they should behave?
- orib 18y agoWhat if the iPhone was like a product, and we subjected it to the same standards as any other product out on the market? Just a thought, you know.
- palish 18y ago... It is, and we do.
- orib 18y agoI think you missed the sarcasm.
- alaskamiller 18y agoApple doesn't make products to be fitted into comparison tables.
- RavingGoat 18y agoEver seen a PC/Mac commercial? What do you think Apple is doing? Hint... comparing.
