Praytell, what right is this?
- sojsurf 1y agohah, thanks. It's a bit more nuanced than that. Let me try again. I completely support Apple's right to publish software that makes it difficult for unapproved software to run on it. Similarly, I support your right to try running something else on it. Just like my neighbor has the right to publish a browser that makes it difficult to run extensions in it, and I have the right to use a different browser. Some people would like the phone OS to be regulated like a public utility. I do not support that, and if we _had_ to have it that way, it would be important to have the same standards for everyone and regulate _all_ phone OSes equally. I don't like the thought of what that would do to the chances of any "open" offering.
