  1. Same thing as with Java. by Hurricane78 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Jobs is an extreme control-freak. The east-German Stasi would have been proud of him.
    He will go as far as making Youtube and 90% of all applications* unavailable to his clients, just to keep total control over everything.
    Sorry, but that’s completely insane from a business perspective. And without his massively extreme viral marketing, he would not survive a month with it.
    Which somehow reminds me of Microsoft...

    * Your reality might already be distorted here, without you knowing it, but that’s really the percentage of Apps out there that are Java based. They are so common, and they run on every single phone out there (except for the iPhone), that it’s pretty normal, to not even mention that they are Java apps.
    I know because I work in the business, and am doing it myself.

    That store shouldn't exist at all. All developers should be free to publish their apps wherever thay want for whatever price they want. It's called DEMOCRACY. Unfortunately, capitalism is heading from free market to corporate dictatorship.

    Oh yeah, because everyone knows that hammers get paid for their job at the cost triple of the worth of that trellis

    Yeah, because you're too stupid to shop around.

    were originally directly responsible for spreading the rot to the trellis

    Wow. Guilt by association of profession. Fucking nice leap there, moron.

    that you build the new trellis using exclusively them

    You repeat yourself.

    all the while ensuring that the new trellis is not rot resistant as to ensure further employment in the future rot-infestation-problem they plan for you to have

    Yawn. Get a better contract, then. Or, gasp, sue for the breach. Again, it's the game, not the players...

    Next!
