lim Apple = Microsoft

t→∞

(Eh, HN wasn't made for displaying calc, I guess.)

They're starting to show some of the monopolistic tendencies. For example, newish iPods can only connect via iTunes (at least they said they were going to do that), which not only kinda sucks for people who liked using a different program that didn't suck memory, usually even when "not running", but also made it impossible (or at least hard) for Linux users to connect iPods at all.



Seems to me that Apple is a lot worse than Microsoft, and has been for a very long time. Microsoft prioritizes developers much more than Apple ever has, that I know of.
