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."

So long as rampant fanboyism lurks in the hearts of men, Steve Job's vision will never die.
