For all the openness Apple claims, developers and companies should be able to talk to press or write blogs about what they want. Apple is benefiting from these apps and tries to silence the voices of arguments. This is pure North Korean kind of rule that only Apple and Kim Jong would approve of.

Openness from for profit companies is a rare beast, and only recently are companies actually starting to approve of openness as they realize its benefits. Putting Apple and North Korea as the only entities that disapprove of running to the press is disingenuous at best.
Does Apple claim openness? They make APIs, developers who make apps for *OS use them and bend to their rules.
