Why I dislike Apple...

What would you do if you bought a new Sony TV, however once you got it home you realized you couldn't watch NBC on it. All the other channels work, but that one just does play at all. So you do some research and find out that NBC wouldn't pay Sony enough money, so now all Sony TVs won't work with that channel.

Ludicrous thought right? That would never happen. Except that it is happening. When you purchase an Iphone (or the newly announced Ipad) you can only get programs that Apple "approves". And the worst part about it is they don't spell out what their rules are, so you don't even know if you will get approved until after you write a program.

It is like a police force that just makes up the rules as they go, and they change the rules every week to keep you on your toes.

I could rant on this for another 20 paragraphs, but I'm guessing only 3 people have made it this far. Hopefully you will consider this when you decide to make your next smart phone/computer purchase.
