I understand that you've been trying to make the point that this is a non-story (and I would agree with you, to an extent), but that was just rude and uncalled for.
Is it wrong for the GP to try and start a conversation about the morality of a company as large as apple, demanding such a large degree of separation between users and the ability to make purchases outside apple's control?
I'm about as 'anti-apple' as they come, and even I can see it was just a case of Dropbox's sdk doing something against apple's rules, but that doesn't mean what that what apple's doing is 'right', or even necessary for a corporation as large as them, which is what I believe the GP was hinting at.
In my opinion it's just business as usual. Just look at wall street, and all the large oil corporations and such; a company as large as apple doing something dubious is not exactly shocking. If anything, that's what got these large corporations to where they are in the first place. Is it sad? sure, but it's nothing that we haven't seen before...
What did I link to? I'm well aware of the Apple "rules" as well as the rationale behind them. If you have superiror knowledge about Apple that puts them in a better light, then please share details.
