The apple app store is great. I have nothing against Nokia making a Maemo store where you can install stuff via the "iapt-get --payment-method=paypal ifart/sid" command. I just don't want what comes in the package: the system has to be "secure", and the company end up owning the device more than we do.

But I'm not sure is right to call democratic a market that has a private unquestionable owner who censors people and can go on saying who can enter and who can not, with no explanations. It's not just about the mature content issues (it seems this problem has ended). You all have seen the recent Google Voice scandal. Is that a democratic market?

The World of Warcraft Auction House, now that is a democratic market!...
