Apple, the Warmed-Over Microsoft June 11, 2009

Long ago, Microsoft closed the gates to DR-DOS and crippled apps like WordPerfect. Now, Apple sabotages software that opens the iPhone to additional software.

Cydia is a wonderful complementary App Store for the iPhone and offers great software. Can-Do-No-Wrong Apple keeps changing the software playing field to doom Cydia.

Developers use the term jailbreak to re-enable the iPhone to work as it is sold: A Unix-based software platform for Unix-based software programs. The term jailbreak mis-characterizes the sabotage Apple practices.

Apple runs an anti-competitve monopoly. Withholding software from the consumer, restraining them to purchasing only from its store, and changing the software to cripple competitors tastes like warmed-over Microsoft.
