Forget Google – it's Apple that is turning into the evil empire

I agree with most of this analysis, and it is why, even though iOS/OSX/etc offer great stability, are esthetically pleasing, and well-designed, I won't go the Apple way (I have been using Linux for over a decade now).<p>Zittrain, among others have written about this as well:<p>"As tethered appliances and applications eclipse the PC, the very nature of the Internet — its 'generativity', or innovative character — is at risk"<p><a href="http://futureoftheinternet.org/" rel="nofollow">http://futureoftheinternet.org/</a>

The article was quite good until it started making comparisons of Catholics and Protestants to Apple collecting 30% for all sales through their store.<p>It's like the author just gave up and couldn't figure out a way to end the article.
