As a result, Apple is now the most valuable company on the
planet (in part thanks to the declining value of the American dollar), dominates
the tablet market, and has the high-end of the smartphone sector locked down. It
has also got the most lucrative apps market and reaps 30 per cent on everything
sold. Is this not enough?
When IBM made the x86 PC platform
popular and Compaq made it affordable, sensible minds decided neither could
charge a tax on the development of the platform. Apple tried to gain the rights
on the GUI system and lost that battle, but now it seems it will be doing this
for tablet and smartphones. Not even Bill Gates stooped that
low.--- RMS: The 4 Freedoms
