As a former Apple ][ owner, it makes me sad to see that the Apple I used to love and admire has become the very evil entity they set out to destroy in their seminal 1984 Superbowl commercial.
You cant have one thread about apple these days without some idiot coming in and spouting the evil bullshit. Oh no, they have a different business model, how evil of a corporation for wanting to make money.
All corporations want to make money, what makes you think Apple is different?
They have turned evil in the sense that they are restricting developer freedom, overwork their employees (who are happy to oblige, at least in the US, but that doesn't make it right), play the patent game to stifle competition, and all in all, are behaving in worse ways than Microsoft ever did. Thanks to Android, they have had to back off on some of their initiatives, luckily.
The only reason why they're getting away with all this is because they are producing pretty good products overall, but again, this doesn't make it right.
