“Michael Hall, former editor of Linux Today, pointed
out a blog entry with an interesting take on the recent beating
Apple has been taking in the press lately. (Heads up: colorful
language ahead.) It was a posting that made me sit back and
re-evaluate some of my own views.“Apple fan Mike Lee takes a lot of the anti-Apple media hype to
task and raises some strong points that essentially reminded me
that it’s not particularly fair to judge Apple as an open
company–because they were never an open company to begin with. As
someone who’s also raised questions about Apple’s practices in
terms of fencing web content for the sake of user experience, I
have to admit I am guilty of applying that filter to view Apple,
too.”
