@olmaverick Hey, let's try to relax a little. I'm sorry if I'm being read as aggressive here. Apologies.
If you are saying that Apple seems to be promoting a closed ecosystem model, and winning, and this is bad for computing overall, I can take that argument.

@olmaverick But in my opinion, that is nowhere close to a monopoly. Not with 15% market share, and not with 55%.
And especially when Apple is not doing anything to stop other companies from doing their own thing in an open market.

@olmaverick Apple is not attacking Google and stopping it from building its own ecosystem, or high-quality products. Or Samsung. Or Nokia. Or Microsoft.
No, it's just building its own custom coffee shop. And people like that coffee.

@olmaverick People who don't want to use Apple products have TONS of options.
There are dozens of amazing Google phones. Samsung phones. And tons of other vendors. And their stuff works well. And Apple isn't stopping them from making their own coffee.

@olmaverick The fact that so many people want Apple coffee should not cause you to come to someone's thread and accuse them of being against open computing.
I like Philz coffee. Doesn't mean I want to stop other coffee shops from being better than Philz.

@olmaverick If someone came along and out-Apple'd Apple, it would make me EXTREMELY happy.
Anyway, I am sorry things got heated. And I bid you good day.
