Apple Bends to Studios

It is looking more likely that my next OS will be Linux. Love the Mac OS and the UNIX underneath, hate the way Apple is becoming big brother and hobbling their systems.

I don’t pirate, being a computer scientist I do not believe in doing that. I do believe in voting with my feet though.

I don’t generally even buy movies via the Apple iTunes store, but I am getting fed up with Apple turning into another Microsoft.

Come on people. Take the time to write to you politicians and let them know this is a ridiculous waste of money and an infringement on our rights.

Do you really want to live in a country as restrictive as China and Iran?
