I guess Apple is happy, though. The company has the most loyal, most blind fanbase ever.

Again, it's a magazine about Android they wont have. I guess it would be perfectly fine to make sure you couldn't read about Windows when on your Mac. Yay for closed systems, monopolistic and draconian behaviour
If you buy an iPhone or iPad that is what you get. They are quite upfront about it, so you make your decision before getting one. Those who don't like it (myself included) can just buy something else. This behavior is definitely legal, although for me it is just one of the many reasons I will never buy an Apple product again. If they can think of a way to prevent users from reading about Windows on a Mac, they will implement it, don't you think?
