Since when was the EFF competing with Apple? You're mental.

  Since when was the EFF competing with Apple? You're mental. I would be if I said anything remotely resembling that. When Apple arbitrarily rejects applications, it can be construed as being anti-competitive. While at this point, it's not overt (like saying, if your company makes an Android app, we will never approve your iPhone app), the infrastructure is in place for implementing this system. Maybe it's happening now, and we just don't notice. Anyway, just saying that this might not actually be OK. Or, it might be. (Try writing software for your favorite video game system.)

    That's pretty damned paranoid. I've read no stories of anything similar to that. The system is fucked up, obviously, but there's a difference between fucked up and totalitarian, and it's pretty huge leap from one to the other. Last I heard, lots of developers were releasing video games cross-platform; not quite sure I understand you.

    That's a silly definition of anti-competitive. Is it anti-competitive for me to choose to only work with google adsense, and not yahoo or ms? Could yahoo or ms sue me? I think not.
