What an utter waste of bits this article is?

Are you suggesting that they are, as it were, doomed?

It depends on what freedom. GPL isn't free; it's handcuffware. It's "freedom" on someone else's terms. BSD is a truly free license whereas GPL is an attempt at an anti-capitalist l…

The sheer volume of these type of post is beginning to smell a lot like astroturfing. The faux outrage is comical. No issues with any Apple device with the lastest software for mys…

Wow. You do realise that you at part of the problem described? Zero tolerance of others views and a reluctance to listen to criticism followed by petty name calling? I'd love for t…

But "them", "their" and "they" are perfectly serviceable and have been used for a long time.

Like "they", "them" and "their"? English is a wonderfully flexible language, it's such a shame that ridiculous and faddish political correctness is so utterly blind to it.

Nope. Read the opening paragraph again.

Just another iPhone ripoff. I don't think any right thinking iPhone owner (fanboy? please...) would entertain it.

What, they think that 3000 signatures will make Apple change their terms? 3000 devs that in all likelihood will find another reason to whine? 3000 people that do not under what fre…

So don't use Apple kit! Simple, really. But, if you espouse freedom of speech and freedom of choice, you must logically accept that people will want this choice. That's the problem…

This again? FFS RTFM...

>" Smartphones that do have email and don't have Microsoft Word are a minority? " You, as already stated, are missing the point. It has been explained and you continue to miss, or …

And neither are you or the OP. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that you are in actual fact a minority. Before you assert higher mobile sales again, think on how many people use their d…

> "...as the interface is so inferior for getting any "real" work done" Bullshit. Depends on what "real" is.

How utterly ridiculous. Please stop posting your own shitty, over-entitled rants. That you clearly think that you are still "1337" by being so dissmissive of a commonly used tool i…

Are we attempting to create a self-fulfilling prophecy by constantly asking this stupid question? YES!

And you must be a member of this thought police that seem to be invading every aspect of out lives.

No. Mozilla are doing a perfectly good job of that on their own.

Disgusted with the treatment of Brendan Eich by the community. You guys bullied , slandered and libelled and individual. Your behaviour towards him is far worse than his views. As …

> I'm not a fucking asshole. The majority of your judgemental and passive/aggressive posts in this thread suggest otherwise.

Have you considered being less patronising?

It's not freedom in any sense of the word. The FSF is at best a fiefdom, but in all reality a dictatorship. Stallmans utopian future is more 1984 than any of the actors he accuses.…

And in the meantime, how do these companies actually work? What happens when requirements change? What happens with bugs?

No, but the constant posting of pseudo intelligentsia bullshit from the Guardian may be...
