An Apple fan complaining about Google not being "open" enough. Wow.
Remember everyone: "Open web" is very important! But your browser itself doesn't need to be open source. Use Safari instead of Chrome. Your OS doesn't need to be open source either. Use and develop for OSX. Use and develop for iOS. Refuse developing for Android and make iOS-exclusive apps. Buy all Apple products and support Apple. Then open a blog to advocate openness and bash companies that build open source tools.

- Kylekramer 13y agoWe are talking about a person who responded "LOL" to questions about whether his magazine's articles would be able to be sent to competing read it later services (he has since just changed that to "No"). There is a definite disconnect between what is being said and what has been done.
- pseut 13y agoThe great thing about the open web is that I don't have to fucking care what browser, OS, or phone Marco uses to access it.
- skinnymuch 13y agoChrome isn't open source.
- skinnymuch 13y agoOpen source is a part of openness but definitely not the most important.
