Apple has turned popular opinion against startups and the little guy so much that we're saying these things out loud to one another. Seriously?

Apple has too much power. Just like Google on the web.

Dealing with a little more pain and friction from marketing, in exchange for freedom for our devices and a healthy distribution of power, would be worth it.

We're being told to be afraid of "marketers", when we're actively being put into computing straightjackets by the biggest thugs of them all. Every move these gigantic companies make is to make you further reliant upon them.

We're moving to a world where Apple and Google decide who can execute what, and where there is no hope of leaving. And that's terrifying.
