Техноблоггеры бегут с корабля Эпла:

Today the battlefield is mobile devices, and just as before, Apple jumped out to an early lead. And just as before, Jobs got selfish. He won't support Flash, or any cross-platform
tools—because he wants developers locked into his platform, and his App Store, where he collects a 30 percent commission.

/.../

He's even censoring content, ruling out material that he deems to be offensive. Not just porn, but anything that's racy or suggestive, or that "ridicules public figures."

What makes this even more insulting is that Jobs tries to dress up his selfishness as a kind of altruism. He says it's all about creating a beautiful experience, that while he may be selling you an intentionally crippled device, he's doing it for your own good.

Well, bull. The truth is, this is about Apple wringing every last dime out of its ecosystem and leaving nothing on the table for anyone else.

В общем, не я один такой безумец, которого эти вещи волнуют, оказывается. Впрочем, я при этом андроед пока что тоже покупать не собираюсь. Но если бы ко мне явился волшебник в голубом вертолёте с набором бесплатных смартфонов, я бы выбрал андроед :)
