Yes, Kevin. This is the walled garden thread, don't post anything that
hasn't been cleared with the management. And never ever consider
changing the subject line, otherwise you get into trouble with the
Google overlords.

Of course, the whole idea of a GUI came out of Xerox PARC, it was never
Apple's invention.
The GUI was actually invented as a better way to interact with the (then)
new Smalltalk language, ironically one that is now restricted from apple's
"walled garden"
Even more ironically, Objective-C is basically a C/Smalltalk hybrid (the
memory safety of C coupled with all the blazing speed of smalltalk - what's
not to like!), so it makes sense that C would also be allowed. As for C++?
That's anybody's guess!

are enjoying this..

Hi Jitesh,
its considered a bit rude to hijack someone else's thread.
Please start your own to discuss the wonders Apple has bestowed upon us.
Cheers

I agree with this reply. Why are we not talking about the innovations
that Apple is bringing out. What about the beautiful GUI that Apple
has and which Microsoft just copied..This is what changes business&
the way technology evolves..
We don't discuss about such things, but just plain old business stuff
sometimes....
One good question here is to see how Apple takes its inventions and
creates a Revolution..
COULD WE EXPECT THIS FROM APPLE?
Any ideas?

I absolutely think that people are giving Apple a harder time than
they would other companies because these people have projected ideals
on to them.
I disagree. You know what would happen if Microsoft tried some of the
stuff Apple has been pulling off? You wouldn't hear the end of it!
Jobs rules like Bill Gates never did. Mind you, Apple traditionally
has been able to do their monopoly game simply by being small enough
for nobody to care. That is no longer the case however; call it the
price of success. Apple is bound to get a taste of this, especially as
they seem to prefer fist-fights rather than shaking hands.
So thats my point - Apple is what Apple does and its really no
different than most companies (it wants to make money by cornering a
market and locking in users). A lot of you guys (not everyone, just
the people really, really horrified at Apple's hypocrisy) just can't
face that and need to vent rather than just stop buying the products.
Again I think you are attempting to stereotype and oversimplify,
meaning none of the replies since your OP really sinked in as viable
reasons. It's not about venting but about protecting consumers (even
those who do not know they need it) from a mono-culture where you're
told what to believe rather than think on your own. That really has
nothing specifically to do with capitalism or betrayal, just plain
common sense. After all, history is full of examples of what happens
when you stop asking questions and just blindly follow.
