Free markets only exist when trade is not forced upon anyone. When people are free to trade with whom ever they like, and for what ever reason they like. Gates used the only gun in town (ie: The Government) to shut down other competitors. H

See Fransisco D'Acconia's "Money" speech in Atlas Shrugged for some of the reasoning behind this view. (It is probably in some of Ayn Rand's non fiction but I just can't remember where off the top of my head)

Just up vote please. Replies are for adding to the conversation. If you are just going to agree, that is what the up vote is for. Note: I do realize the irony of this post. I assume this is a new HNer and I hope to help educate him and all

What is his point? Flash rules HTML5 drools? Who cares. If a developer wants to use Flash then he can use Flash. If he doesn't, then he won't.

Me too. Except (and correct me if I'm misinterpreting you) while you see this as an insult, I see it as a compliment. It is a site for people that are smart and love to learn. It is a site for people that know what the want, and are willing

I'm still not sure I understand. While most of those companies are owned by "The big three" they act as independent companies. Even if this is something to be worried about, I'm not sure there is anything that could/should be done about it.
