Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-know-this-guy-named-steve dept.

InfoWorldMike writes to tell us that InfoWorld's Tom Yager recently had the chance to sit down and chat with Apple about their closing the OS X Kernel. From the article: "The Mac platform is an overflowing basket of raw materials for innovators and creators of all stripes. It's what Steve Jobs would fantasize about if he still worked out of his garage, and you can bet that he'd be livid to find that the vendor locked some portion of his chosen platform behind a gate without a word of notice or explanation."

    Why the F do I have to buy a Mac Mini... That's gey.... There's no reason to support propritary hardware in a world of knockoffs. They would do so much better competing with Windows directly. They are the better OS choice and they don't seem to know it. What gives?

    Have a nice time "locked-in" your mom's toilet jacking off over a full page spread of Dick Stallman.
