Hi Just of late in the forum its getting to be negative toward Apple just because it NOT seen to be open source!
Some companies say there open source and there not. I love open source software, its rocks :) I use open source all the time. One reason that I love my Mac Book Pro is not it is based on open source http://www.opensource.apple.com/ and its Unix :) which I love. But want I don't like is that if you are not is this camp or that camp then we are going to be negative about that company. Consumers have picked Apple (Number #1 brand - report just came out) and there is a correlation to the money, Apple would NOT have all this money if people didn't like the products. :) 2011/5/12 Cédric Beust ♔ <[email protected]> > I find this pretty typical in discussions involving Apple.
