[TImothy Auld] "Do I think they are evil? No. Do I think they are doing what is in the best interest of their shareholders? Yes."

I find that argument morally questionable. There is always more money to be made in consumer markets. That doesn't mean a company coding software for CT scan devices buggers off tomorrow to build Angry Birds for the iPad because it is in the better interest of their shareholders while patients are grilled thanks to buggy software. Yes, bad analogy. Lovin it and not apologetic about it.
Apple bought into the market, lured people to their platform because of subsidised software that competitors couldn't offer at such cheap prices (and killed or almost killed a few smaller companies along the way) and then have lost interest. Were they ever really interested in it. Don't think so. It was a means to an end at the time. The Moor has done his work - the Moor may go.
Is that evil? No, just "big corporate". That doesn't mean I have to like it, be apologetic about it or throw more money at them in the future.
