Netgear CEO Says Jobs's Ego Will Bite Apple

AcidAUS writes "The global chairman and CEO of home networking giant Netgear has launched into a scathing attack on Apple and its founder Steve Jobs, criticising Jobs's 'ego' and Apple's closed up products. At a lunch in Sydney today, Patrick Lo said Apple's success was centred on closed and proprietary products that would soon be overtaken by open platforms like Google's Android."

    Wow... the number of Apple fanboys on /. is breathtaking. That this article is tagged sourgrapes tells me that many of the people on this site are not so much anti-closed source, anti patent troll, anti evil corp, as much as they are simply anti Microsoft. That is a beautiful irony. The opposite extremes of technology access.... Linux and Apple, have the same mouthpieces here. Any time I need a good strong dose of sobering disgust, you guys never let me down. Thanks assholes.
