Former iTunes Engineer Tells Court He Worked To Block Competitors

Posted by timothy on from the our-way-or-the-error-message-way dept.

loftarasa (1066016) writes Yesterday, former engineer Rob Schultz unwillingly testified in court against Apple that he worked on project 'Candy' which 'intended to block 100% of non-iTunes clients' from 2006 to 2007. In his opinion, the work of his team contributed to create 'market dominance' for the iPod. Apple argues, and Schultz agrees, that its intentions were to improve iTunes, not curb competition.

    Deal with the backlash. When Jobs declared that he'd spend every last Apple dollar to destroy Android, you wonder why there's still hard feelings? I've witnessed a lot of petty bullshit on Apple's part, and from the elitist attitudes a lot of Apple users seem to have ("Now poor (android) people are going to get to use (previously Apple only) app?).

    Fuck Apple, and fuck some of their asinine users.
