I understand you.

Still I think my freedom and the artists economy and thus a free uncontrolled culture is far more important than my convenience.

I am however developing something that will make it far more easier for me to listen to all of my collections on all my devices any time, it will be even more convenient than streaming services since Ill be in control all the time.

Nujabes. What can I say, good choice lad, good choice. You know about DJ Okawari?

Welcome to the Internet in 2020, where content is approved before it is allowed on the tube. What is left of the idea of freedom through a networked world which once inspired the creation of the great tubes is now a shell for business, government and corporate interests. You shall not pass is the new greeting many will recognize. Your communication is surveiled, filtered and censored. For your own good.

He has a problem with proprietary software. All of the problems are due to proprietary softawre and his examlpes with Apple produced closed software is just the tip.

Down to the "ON-OFF" button/switch it still attempts to look like something it will never be, MacOSX.

Down.

Nobody forced these people you mention to "venture into iOS platform", its their own damn money and they can do what they want.

Stop whining about the purcheses you make. If you can pay for a mac more than your salary, you sure as hell can pay for $100 for a text-editor.

I have some really nice snake oil here for you, only $199! With a promise you will get another batch in 10 years for now!

Until Rdio pulls your plug.

Streaming services are not reliable, neither is the cloud. Hard currency is the value, its not like storage is expensive any more, there is no reason to not own your own collection and be the boss of your domain.

"It took me (years?) to upgrade from Firefox 3.x to 6, but then only a week to upgrade to 7."

It's just numbers, they dont mean much.

FlowerPower | 14 years ago | on: 8 questions you need to ask about your business model

And kicking on Redhat for providing support is just lame.

Redhat develops just as much if not more as other people and free software developers. From Linux the kernel to gnome Redhat is a company that performs work, and for that they earn alot of money.

Unlike his other examples of highly unethical companies leveraging benefits on others misfortunes.

Highly unethical reasoning confuses the author from noticing difference between a successful scalable business and a succesful scam.
