Attn. John Gruber, I'll save you 3000+ words:
Shorter Tim Wu...
(1) Apple is the most successful and profitable company in the world today.
(2) Apple is one of the most closed companies in tech.
(3) Ergo closed is bad.
- soemarko 14y agoif you actually read the article, he wrote open/closed had nothing to do with companies' successes.
- Steko 14y agoIf by article you mean Gruber then yes. If you meant Tim Wu's article then you didn't read the same one I did, he says unequivocally that barring magic pixie dust, closed loses. I'm not arguing that closed wins because Apple is successful. I'm saying Tim Wu's underlying argument is a complete non sequitur and that is more effectively exposed with 35 words than 3,500.
