Wild, wild West?

A very reasoned essay about the “…fuzzy thinking and whining going on about Apple, Steve Jobs, and control.”: John Martellaro correctly points out that the majority of this is coming from a very small number of vested interests (very few developers) and is being amplified by a large number of vested interests (most blogs love sensationalism – increases page-views). Since Apple, Inc. is becoming more prominent, it is more fun to take potshots at it; why should anyone worry about Microsoft anymore? Also, Google is mainly made up of engineers, and geeks just love it.
