Harmon, contrary to popular belief technology is at its best when it's open source. When the pursuit for profits and market share constrain technological decisions, we get half-baked outcomes and silly preconditions. I mean, imagine if Steve Jobs was the guy who had invented the wheel. He'd be telling us where we could and couldn't go, and how many revolutions were permissible!

The world could be so much better if the hunt for profits could be subdued within reasonable limits. Which is why when the Amazon folk realise that they've reached a certain profit threshold, they might release some serious apps for the Kindle instead of this 2.5 crap they've been dangling at us.
