Look: if you don't like the iPad, just don't buy it. That's not the
issue here. We don't care if you don't like the iPad, a lot of people
don't like marshmallows and we don't hear them complaining. ;)
The issue is that it's a trend Apple is starting and propagating, and
that trend is threathening, because everybody is likely to follow suit
and create closed devices instead of proper, generic and open hardware.
