The only thing I can think of after reading about how Apple has bricked modified iPhones with their new update (NY Times story link) is Nelson Muntz pointing his finger at all the Apple fan boys and saying “Ha Ha!” Actually that would be pretty funny if Apple included a little audio/video clip of that with their update software. :D

As funny as this situation is though, there is a serious part of it. Although Apple started off with the build your own crew they have become a closed system juggernaut clearly bent on protecting their small but growing market share. People want to think the best of Apple no matter what, just as they want to think the worst of Microsoft no matter what. The truth lies somewhere in the middle though. Microsoft does good things and Apple does bad things. Since everyone will bend over backwards to malign Microsoft I enjoy pointing out that Apple is not infallible and that they do things against their own customers more than people like to acknowledge.
