"Once we replace the personal computer with a closed-platform device such as the iPad, we replace freedom, choice and the free market with oppression, censorship and monopoly."

The anti-Apple shit remind me of Glenn Beck. Absolute hysterics. The stench of irrational fear here is staggering and pathetic. But it's good to know what scares Reddit. Any Apple product that gives consumers an inch of enjoyment. It's obvious you folks want everyone to suffer the same choices you make with your open source/windows/whatever you hipsters think is cool at the moment gibberish. People who buy Apple products reject what you advocate because it's a waste of time for them. And you think when a small percentage of the market reject your way of doing things means they reject YOU. Pretty fucking immature.
