I don't have an opinion on Apple or the iPhone, but I prefer that software innovations come before hardware because they produce less landfill. I had to laugh when I saw how the iPhone's "innovative" interface resembles what Opera, the browser uses for its startup screen as of version 9.22 -- a tactile, tiled favorites menu. In ten years, the iPhones will all be in landfills and Opera will be on version 18, without having contributed any landfill. Can we please stop the waste insanity? My grandchildren will have to survive on this planet and they'd like to have some open, unpolluted spaces.
