Is Steve Jobs Big Brother?

This is getting ridiculous.

Apple is NOT trying to oppress or control people. They're not even trying to rip people off; that's not how they work. People are upset because Apple makes something amazing that masses of consumers want, but they won't let developers/publishers put just anything on it.

Bloggers/writers/opinionators: if you don't like the decisions surrounding the iWhatever, don't buy it, or write your software/distribute your content on some other platform, but for goodness' sake stop comparing Steve Jobs to an oppressive political figure.

Get some perspective.
