I'm surprised Apple isn't investigated more for anticompetitive practices. Their censorship of the App Store and ridiculous litigation against competitors should be enough to get shut down.

I just gotta know how much you were pissing and moaning about Microsoft's "relentless success" during the 90s and early 2000s

The most common complaint I hear about Microsoft products is "why isn't component X integrated into the OS like it is on IOS?" They don't realize that Microsoft integrated a lot of functionality into their OS, and then got sued because of it.

Apple today does the same things Microsoft did then - and it is still anti-competitive. The only difference is that Microsoft was a monopoly and it was therefore illegal. Apple hasn't been a monopoly - yet. The day that they do, they will be hit by all the same rules and regulations.

No bundling Safari, iTunes, GarageBand, your fancy hardware or anything else with your OS. Then we can see how much people gush about the Apple OS if it has to compete on an even playing field. Thankfully that day will NEVER come.

So basically you defend Apple because you don’t like MS... dude your such a hypercritic... MS does blows the fat one I will agree to that.. but Apple is gobbling mouthfuls of load

Apple restricts is uses more than any other system, its killing the music industry, openly copies other people and then sues for ridiculous reasons and makes you pay a premium??? WTF!!!

Yes Apple sooooooooooooooo pretty and cool... but i dont wear a dress so this means nothing to me.

Please don't stop defending Apple... because its awesome to see how brainwashed you are!!!

Your such an iTool... you simply just don't get it. Do you..

'I find they are usually best of class in terms of design, functionality and usability'... haha and you call me the pussy? I bet you would by a car because of the colour.. or because it's cool... and are you serioulsy suggesting Apple has the best hardware?? please, please explain that to me!!

So you think Apple having to approve everything and having the final say on how you can to use something that you BOUGHT is not restrictive?

And don't give me the crap... "but its to ensure its functioning at its best... or doesn’t negatively affect the end user" give me a break if i buy it i want to total control of it.. not rent the damn thing. Explain why people had to jail break it then ?!?!

Why don't you ask the Top record labels what they think about Apple taking a large portion of their income? Does Apple reinvest back into the music industry to find more talent... well...!!!!

Explain how its helping journalism?

Its just soooooo pathetic that your totally devoted to a company... thats all it is!! You can bitch about iPhobes.. but look in the mirror dude... your a disgrace... a marketers dream and a total clone!!

And just for the record i don't own an Android!

HA! Apple Best in class. That's a new one. Apple has completely abandoned the business environment. OS X Server is a pile of garbage. It's useless and over-priced. Much like the majority of Apple's products.

As for MS vs. Apple in the 90s, Apple's interface was just as ugly, if not uglier. The only thing that differentiated them was the case. Their computers were slow, they crashed just as much or more than Windows did, and they weren't compatible with anything.
