The problem with this closed market system is that they create an alternate reality where tits and torrents don’t exist. It’s censorship and it makes devices less useful, not more useful. If they don’t want “bad” apps, they could change the search in the store, so you don’t find the tits and torrents unless you explicitly search for them.

Most people who program open source are paid to do it, open source can move ahead without breaking your capitalist rules. In marketshare Android is way bigger than iOS and doesn’t need any catching up.

I can run Windows and Ubuntu seemlessly side-by-side with OSX using software called “VMware Fusion”, and flick between them at the flick of a wrist using the touchpad, and use files between them all [needed to install extra drivers, but that's easy]. I rarely use windows or ubuntu, except for the very very few things they are good for / do better than osx, which is almost nothing.

I eagerly await for Open Source devices and software to catch up, but it’s still a while away. Hopefully it speeds up, but in the end, or at least so far, the quality stuff is coming from where the money is going to.

Makes sense right? Nobody is making the amazing s**t for free.

ie. people paying apple, and apple employees being inspired by $$$ to make the best “boutique” computers and software available.
