Hi guys, I've been thinking about the recent Apple controversies and have come to the conclusion that (in this forum at least) it says more about the people buying the products than Apple itself.
So here are some statements about Apple and Steve Jobs, please tell me if I am wrong: 1. Wants to control what you can do with its products. 2. Couldn't care less about Java or Java developers (in the large). 3. Wants to make money, lots and lots of money using traditional capitalist principles (as opposed to that BS Sun was trying to do by giving away its software for free). Now the above could apply to Microsoft too but no one would bat an eyelid. So why the heated debates? Simple, loads of you have gone out and bought Apple products and can't stand that the company behind these products does not subscribe to your world view. If you really have an issue with the way Apple does business - stop buying their products. R -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
