Yes Jobs is a blowhard - however, consider:

Maemo has binary closed parts as well.

MeeGo/Intel
"we at Intel believe that software-related technology should continue to be afforded the opportunity to obtain patent protection."
http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/tek1/...tent_intel.htm

Nokia and Intel defensive on MeeGo Linux patents
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05...oid_microsoft/

Open source has closed parts and is funded by software patent holders that do not share the core high value modules.

How much money is Google making off Android, its closed more than other open source projects to give Google control (deception = evil)

so, Jobs is a Jack Axx, but has a valid point about Android, the most closed open source project ever.

Can you imagine actually needing a mantra that says, "Don't Be Evil?" You wake up every morning saying, "Okay, yesterday was a small setback, but today I'm truly not going to be evil." Sick.

And people have given Nokia well deserved crap for it.

Intel does not speak for MeeGo, and frankly Intel is wrong. Software patents are great if you're a patent troll or looking to keep new competitors from rising in the market. They're bad if you actually want to innovate.

This sentence makes no sense.

I just cannot picture a skinny bald guy in a turtleneck as a hunter
