[dba-Tech] Now MAC

IMO Mac is all about blocking the competition. That's why there are only MAC
computers from Apple (there was a short period where other manufacturers
could build MAC computers). They bundle tons of things with their OS that MS
would be in court for. And they're not overly friendly to their 3rd party
developers, hence, all the bad vibes over the iPhone apps that being
blocked.

MAC has long cast themselves as rebelling against the establishment of
IBM/MS.

But are they now more concerned on blocking competition than innovation?
