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. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 10:09 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] Now MAC MAC has long cast themselves as rebelling against the establishment of IBM/MS.
