"Apple's iPhone software development kit is already drawing complaints due
to the strict terms of service. Voice over IP apps like Skype that attempt
to use the cellular data connection will be blocked. Competing web browsers
Firefox and Opera are forbidden. Even Sun is now backpedaling on its recent
announcement of a java port, noting that there are some legal issues.
Critics are already comparing Apple's methods to Comcast's anti-net
neutrality filtering, and Microsoft's Netscape-killing antitrust tactics.
Could Apple face government regulators?"

Time to get the big guns out and blast Apple for killing competition ...

"Apparently, even subliminal exposure to the Apple logo can make you 'think

subliminal images of the iconic Apple and IBM logos (during what subjects
thought was a visual acuity test), and those who were shown the Apple logo
generated more creative ideas after the test than did those who were shown
the IBM logo. In a second test, subjects exposed to the Disney logo acted
more honestly than those who saw an E! Channel logo."

"[A] look at how Steve Jobs' unusual and abrasive management style works.
Included is also two cool added stories around this one.Management
Techniques From the Dark Side; Wired.com compiles a list of
counterintuitive, suspicious-seeming and downright evil management
techniques that actually work."


Personally I don't like Apples, or fruit in general. I'm a meat and potatoes
man.
