I thought there were some very thoughtful posts here. Unfortunately, they were eventually drowned out by repetition, and now I am starting to feel a bit sick.

I think we owe a debt of gratitude to Apple for showing that real efforts to create beauty and user-friendliness can be worthwhile. It's obvious to me that Apple has forced the whole computer world to try harder.

I don't want to join their club, however. I don't trust them. Even now, they are applying for patents to make jail-breaking harder. They do want their users in jail, where they can be forced to be happy. Apple is the true Big Brother.
