Don't paint me a racist, but his surname does not appear to reflect that his mother tongue is English. So perhaps it is more to do with a lack of communications than anything sinister.
So I will give him the benefit of the doubt (the nice guy I am), but I don't agree with all the crap he is saying.
When, oh when will this open vs closed phrase be thrown out onto the scrap heap ?
Its worse than any Communists rallying cry, really, its so annoying when the fandroids scream this out at the tops of their lungs. Its all lies, they know it and we know it, but why do they still use it ?
English is not his first language, but he was raised in Hong Kong, got his college education at Brown University, and has been living and working in the US most of the time since he started college over 30 years ago.
To have such a fool as a CEO. Why pick a fight with the most successful and biggest technology company in an area that does not even concern him? "openness" A silly pet cause, a half baked idea that has yet to prove its usefulness.
In doing so, not only did he expose his poor judgement but also his poor taste and alienated many Apple customers, in the name of some soapbox dead-horse speech that others have already beaten to death.
Funny he talks about "ego" when he criticizes a company 300 times as big as his. Quick! Someone recruit this guy!
I remember reading a really long time ago that Apple was thinking about going the MVNO route with the original iPhone and rebrand cell service as its own. More recently, I read that Apple had a patent (or so I recall) for a system that would allow carriers to bid against one another to get the lowest rate. They'd probably never do this, but if they used this system with both CDMA and GSM carriers on a dual-mode iPhone, it could switch between carriers offering the lowest wholesale rate in that area. Then maybe the savings could be passed to the customer or something. Probably would never happen, but it's something to think about.

In a perfect world this would be great but unfortunately this world is far from being perfect.

Let's not forget the billions of $$$ worth of infrastructure that someone has to invest in .... with no guarantee of profits. Do we really expect or even deserve "everything" for nothing? While excessive greed "may" be considered "evil" .... there's nothing wrong with reasonable profits.

That's what I meant!
I liked the way you said it.
You left nothing of Lo but a grease spot.

Goodbye until Summer. (sig. line)
Goodbye until Summer? Goodbye until Summer? .... Hell, I've seen some wives that left faster than you. ....
P.S. Have a good holiday!

With all that source code available for their routers you'd think more homebrew firmware would emerge. Maybe I have just never stumbled upon it . . .
Way to prove my point. RIF!
What? That most of your posts are wrong and a waste of time?

There are a number of alterative firmware available for Netgear routers
