Spoken like Richard Stallman, which is why GNU/Linux desktop took over the world right?
If you're so interested in freedom, why aren't you picketing Apple Campus too?
The practical effect of your viewpoint is hundreds of millions of unpatchable Android ROMs, exposing vast quantities of devices to viruses, and HARMING actual people.
- ocdtrekkie 12y agoNot much of a fan of Apple, but Apple doesn't have a chokehold on the tech industry. So Google's doing a good job now? With over half their devices vulnerable to major vulnerabilities that every other OS patched but Google has publicly refused to develop a patch for?

FSF activists do literally picket Apple events: http://cdn.arstechnica.net/01-27-2010/apple-ipad-protest.jpg http://cdn.arstechnica.net/01-27-2010/apple-ipad-protest.jpg As far as I know they haven't done this at any Google events, but maybe I just missed it. Either way, the idea that Google is being specially singled out for criticism by the FSF is pretty laughable and you probably need to leave your filter bubble if you genuinely believe it to be the case.
