It may or may not be about attacking FOSS.
It is definitely about attacking competition.
I can see why Steve Jobs is angry too. This is the guy who won't take FRAND
patent licenses -- because Apple is special, and entitled. This is the guy who
brazenly steals ideas, and SAYS SO. This is the guy who parks in handicapped
parking spots when it suits him.
He's angry because he can't have it all. He wants a walled garden. He wants
total control. He won't license his precious to others. But then he doesn't
want them going off and building something on their own either.
In short: Apple wants to FORCE you to buy Apple, or have only bad products as
an alternative (but ideally no alternatives allowed). All other PC makers need
not apply. All other phone makers need not apply.
Where did iPhone get that pull down notification system again?
"Good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless
about stealing great ideas."
-- Steve Jobs

You are utterly wrong. Apple too followed a trend, the trend
of the technology's evolution.
You are blind, that's your problem. But please don't re-write
the history. Apple integrated the long and hard works of many,
including Samsung.
Yes, they were more successful at that moment, but surely not
the initiators of the technology. Nokia, Ericsson, Sony,
Samsung, MOLTOROLA, HTC was who permitted the born of the
iPatent.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| You have not been paying attention to the slow soft attack
that has been going
on for a long time now. It is meant to
be slow and soft so that the majority of
the public does
not notice, all the while behind the scenes the fascist
darkside
is working to get a legalized monopoly.
FOSS is anathema to what the
fascists want. They do not
want *any* competition, especially software that is
free
as in libre and free as in money.
They would love to monetize FOSS
because then the fascist
darkside, via market manipulation and inflation, will
drive
the cost up in order to eliminate it.
These attacks on Android (and
Google at some point), are
all meant to create an ecosystem where FOSS is
monetized.

Unfortunately, Apple didn't even come up with that idea.
There were a number of full screen no keyboard phones and
PDAs out BEFORE the iphone. Like the O2 XDA series of phones
(HTC). As for Icons in a grid, blackberry, nokia, samsung,
all of the phone manufacturers used icons in grids as
standard before the iphone, so not an Apple idea either.
Sorry.
Siri? Google voice (or whatever it was called)and numerous
other voice activation systems (there were plenty of voice
activated phones before the iphone - anyone remember the
advert where the guy was showing off his new phone to the
mother in law and had to call her? Call battleaxe! :-) ).
Drop down notification - Android.
First camera phone? Nope.
First mp3 phone? Nope - Sony
First to allow document editing? Nope.
Photo editing? Nope.
Yes. Apple brought a number of great ideas together in a
very nice package, but let's not pretend that they invented
any of this. They worked off the back of a lot of other
people. Just like everyone else does.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
