Conversely Hackernews, like many tech sites, also has a million people who have to whine their exaggerated complaints on every Apple article, like how every software suddenly ‘slurps’ their battery, how nothing is ‘snappy’ anymore and how Jobs is spinning in his grave about the latest UI ‘disaster’ and problem’gate’.

Today the walls in the hated ‘walled garden’ are not high enough.

The reality: these exceptions are made in a way that is exposed to external users which is much more transparent than most companies would be. It is stupid that Uber still has access if they don’t need it anymore. If you have to do a demo and it has to work before it is ready you have to make tough decisions.
