Yeah, there is this ever mounting “Apple is the big bad wolf” sentiment going on.
And maybe it’s right. Who am I to say?
However, if one were to have insight into the vast amounts of lawsuits that Apple faces for the most ridiculous and insane things (and most wouldn’t as it’s all kept hush hush, of course), then one might understand their need to be very, very conservative.
As I like to say…when there’s money at stake..the termites come out of the woodwork. With a $248 and soaring stock price in a questionable economy…well, you can guess where the termites are headed.
Just my .02
Oh, to tack on…all above is not to say I think that banning Fiore’s app isn’t totally ridiculous. It is. He’s a political cartoonist for crimeny’s sakes!
