Newsweek sticks the knife into Apple - The INQUIRER
But Newsweek said that Jobs' autocratic nature means that he
controls things in a way that Microsoft wouldn't. Apple doesn't just make
products, it controls the entire ecosystem that supports that product, the rag
says. While Vole controls both the operating system and the applications that
run on top of it, Apple owns popular hardware platforms and operates the only
store that can sell music, movies and software programs for those platforms.
In other words what we are seeing are two evil monopolistic empires, both as
bad as each other. The only difference is that while Microsoft users know their
software is built by someone who would sell them down the river, most of Jobs'
mob really do believe that they are the good guys.
