Apple's "love" for developers

My friend Jon sent me this link (I borrowed the image from) which gives you a very good perspective on how much Apple "loves" developers. In my opinion it is not just the developers who get so much love, but also its users. Apple believes that it can decide on how you can use its devices. For example lets consider the keyboard extension cable that comes along with your Mac Pros. Its nothing but a simple USB extension cable with a notch in it to prevent you from using it with any USB device except the Apple's crappy aluminum keyboard, which are a disaster ergonomically.

Apple's evil eyes fall on ARM

Talking about take overs, seems like Apple is interested in taking over ARM. The question that comes to mind is what is motivating Apple to make this move. Apple does use the ARM processor in its iPhone and iPod touch. When it comes to the iPad uses its own A4 processor which is based on the ARM architecture. One would think the reason why Apple wants to acquire ARM would be so that it can have a better control on the processor it uses a lot and take the design in house like the A4. My take on this is that it is actually to have a better on control on who uses ARM processor. Off late HTC is giving Apple a run for its money and the Android based devices that HTC makes use the ARM processor. I believe the only reason Apple is wants to takeover ARM is so that it will be able to control HTC's use of the ARM processor. This is just another way of Apple to take out its competitor, people who believe Apple can do no evil should rethink if its true. In fact, Apple is as evil if not more than Microsoft.

Whats all this ranting about?

I am an opinionated person and love to express my opinion. Many times I am extremely vocal about the opinions I hold. The people who have been enduring this all this while have been mostly my friends and co-workers. After a conversation with my friend Memo, I felt why should they be the only people who have to endure my wrath. Starting with this post today I will express some of my opinions in a public forum. Let the rants begin.
