Hello/Bonjour, More arguments against Apple and locked-in systems in general:
http://opensource.com/government/10/2/education-and-ipad's-architecture-control "..Delivering 100 free iPads to a village in West Africa or a struggling school district in Mississippi isn't charity, it's a set of handcuffs.." http://timothyblee.com/?p=2191 "..if I had an iPad rather than a real computer as a kid, I’d never be a programmer today.." http://diveintomark.org/archives/2010/01/29/tinkerers-sunset "..Once upon a time, Apple made the machines that made me who I am. I became who I am by tinkering. Now it seems they’re doing everything in their power to stop my kids from finding that sense of wonder. Apple has declared war on the tinkerers of the world. With every software update, the previous generation of “jailbreaks” stop working, and people have to find new ways to break into their own computers. There won’t ever be a MacsBug for the iPad. There won’t be a ResEdit, or a Copy ][+ sector editor, or an iPad Peeks & Pokes Chart. And that’s a real loss. Maybe not to you, but to somebody who doesn’t even know it yet.."
