I dont trust the goverment
Seriously though your 'logic' is pretty poor I am happy that I have the CHOICE that was my whole point I want to be able to choose a device that CANT sideload apps and I defend apples right to do that. if they were the goverment or a monopoly then I wouldnt approve of it!
Lets do what many seem to want and ask the goverment to force apple to allow side loading

Well firstly I never said that so I didnt get 'THAT' from anywhere you are trying to put words in my mouth!
What i did say was "Many people thing windows is a shit operating system that crashes a lot!" and thats true they do! I never said it was or that they were right but that the perception exists for many people and its frequently other software that causes those crashes.

Apple has plans for this closed system, for the App Store, as well as for all the media it plans to sell to you through iTunes.
This is why it's closed. This is why there is no Flash. This is why it will not allow you to develop cross-platform (so you can't sell the same app to Android). |
And where exactly is teh problem with any of that? if they are wrong and people dont like the result then apple will do poorly and Jobs will get ousted!
however it seems like both their profits and share in all markets is going up. Is taht why people are so bothered about what Apple are doing? because they are being successful.
