Maybe you forgot how Apple created "rules" designed to push specific people off of their platform, while giving exemptions to their pets? Remember the "bikini ban" that resulted in all apps featuring scantily clad ladies being removed from the app store, even as the Sports Illustrated calendar sat on the front page?
Or maybe you forgot about the rules stating 'no compiled code from other languages', which was intended to destroy the 'flash to iphone' project Adobe was working on, only to change the 'rule' to 'you must receive special permission from apple' in order to do so?
Some of us hate the idea of a company playing favorites to manipulate the industry. If you are going to make rules, apply them fairly and across the board. Apple does no such thing.
And then there's the iphone lying about signal strength. I'm sure that was an honest mistake. Yep.
The bad design that caused the iphone4 to short out when you hold it wrong? I can accept that companies make design flaws sometimes, but watching a company refuse to take responsibility, instead telling people to buy an accessory to make it work properly? Classy.
Advertising on the glenn beck show to hype the iphone? After including bullshit in your itunes TOS about 'not being used for nuclear weapons'? How can they have such a disconnect, where they pretend to be concerned about humanity, yet advertise on a show that encourages violence against dissenting opinions?
The list of affronts is neverending.
