    Yes... because making things easier interferes with the pureness of the device.

    Nope, did you notice how they asked the question?

    Apple permits distribution of iPad applications only in its App Store, and rejects applications for a variety of reasons. What is your opinion of this approach?

    ~80% were "It's not a problem at al"" or "It's a minor problem" split evenly.
    Only 11% thought it was a major problem, ~4% thought it was unacceptable.

    You have no meaning, you're being a partisan dip shit.
    If you want to complain about someone destroying the Constitution that our Founding Fathers have set up, look no further than the Obama administration and the current "Democratic" congress.

    I don't like Bush, I don't like Obama, and I don't like Clinton either.

    Oh yeah, the "Intelligent" Americans are dying to get into Mexico.

    You're an even bigger idiot for assuming that 48.4% of Americans voted for Bush. No, 48.4% of Americans who voted, voted for Bush.

    Also, it's Americans, not americans. Do you ignore your spellcheck on purpose? I'm going to assume you don't have one, get one.

    Go back to the hole you came from Troll. Who the fuck mods this prick Insightful?

    They demonstrated the marketability of a gimmick. Once they lose exclusivity of that gimmick, they have nothing else to compete on except for price.

    That and the quality of the software.

    That's wrong, the Wii beat the PS3 and the Xbox360 to the motion control game, they made the rules.

    Free software should be able to compete and it does, unfortunately most free software is usually around 5 years behind the state of the art.
