I’d be the last person who would call themselves an Apple fanboy but I don’t hate the company either. I own two iPods, use iTunes and was pretty close to buying an iPhone (opted for a HTC Magic, Android OS instead). I’ve had a chance to use Macbooks too so I like what they do overall, but it’s easy to see what happens when you don’t have a commitment to “not do evil” that Google aspires to.

Apple’s Chickenshit Approval Process Has Gone Too Far

Apple in hot water over ‘exploding iPhones’

Blocking competition from the Apple App Store is one thing, covering up exploding hardware is another, I’m a big supporter of open-platforms and would love it if my friends who have iPhones could have access to the same awesome Google apps I do.

I might not be a regular Apple fan but I’ll think even longer now before buying any more of their products, or using iTunes for music and movies. Incidentally, just the other week I rented a movie on iTunes for the first time.

It’s interesting to see how long they’re going to let this public relations disaster continue.
