Want Flash Player On a MacBook Air? Download It Yourself

Posted by timothy on from the how-can-I-download-a-computer dept.

    This is ridiculous. The freedom to lock down the platform? If the Android license allows that, than it's not as open as you claim.

    This is another example of how many open source advocates have lost perspective and place the idea of something being "open" at a higher priority than quality. People do not give a shit about how open their cell phone is. They just don't. Only hardcore, Linux-using technophiles do.
