Your first problem: You bought Apple.
Your second problem: you expected a bad actor to suddenly be good.
Your third problem. You kept buying Apple because it's 'shiny'.
Guess you should have listened to Stallman. He may be a nut, but he does call it right.
- spacemanmatt 12y agoHe's nutty, not a nut. Subtle but important difference. His calls are amazingly far-reaching. But yes, he can call 'em. The trouble is, his Al Gore beats his delivery. They both gotta up their PR game.
- kefka 12y agoGood point. He is nutty, but still is right on. I work in Emergent technology/ R&D at a university, and we get questions like "what can I buy that will just work"? I look towards Free Software, and what is published. If there's a free software solution for it, it'll never go away. However, if there's a loose corporate control, then it probably will fade. But if there's iron-grip control, the device will go away as soon as something shiner comes out to take its place. That last one is Apple.
