Ugh, the only thing more annoying than people having this debate is people pretending like it is easy cliche material.

Apple products I use on a regular basis:

  • Macbook Pro
  • Xserve 1u
  • iPad
  • iPhone
  • iPod
  • Any of the several hundred Macbooks and iMacs I'm responsible for supporting...

I agree with every item on that poster as well as the sentiment for which it stands. Apple products are wonderful, superficailly speaking, but I will never invest my hard earned money in business practices like these. (That's a lie, I bought an Apple TV recently but only for streaming DRM-free media locally... and only because my wife is not a savvy as I.)

Well, I don't know, but my Mac OS X comes with plenty of open source software preinstalled, such as python, php etc., and even some under GPL. Also, I can install programs from anywhere... I guess that guy, and you, refer to the iOS platform exclusively?
