FSF Response To Steve Jobs's Letter

Posted by kdawson on from the pot-meet-kettle dept.

boilednut writes "Steve Jobs's recent missive on the deficiencies of Adobe's Flash is still reverberating around the Internet. In this editorial, John Sullivan of the Free Software Foundation responds, arguing that Apple is presenting users with a false choice between Adobe's proprietary software and Apple's walled garden."

    They want to be told what to do.
    That is why people buy Apple shit... because their friends told them to.
    The Adobe vs. Apple war... meh.

    In the end the user wants to play his Facebook games and Apple says 'you can't on My iPhone or iPad' and they say 'okay' and play on their computer instead.
    Do they ditch the iPhone or iPad? Nope..... They go buy another one!
    When the general public actually decides to grow a pair things will change.
    Whether it's the government or a corporation.... all they do is herd people and separate them from their money.
    This is just a war over MONEY and who gets control over more of it.
