Apple Arrogance at it's finest.
http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/has-apple-pushed-away-all-its-friends.html/
Anyone who has owned an iOS device has seen the unique connector port
at the bottom of the device that allows it to sync, charge, and
interact with any number of specially made gadgets — such as speaker
systems or radio transmitters. Those very same ports may prove to be
the source of Apple’s current issue and could be breaking the bond
between Apple and the loyal followers that have made it strong.
From early iPods to some of the more recent iPhones and iPads, Apple’s
iOS devices had all featured the proprietary 30-pin plug — whereas
many other devices featured standard USB ports of varying sizes.
Accessory makers that wanted to work with iOS devices had to license
the technology in order to have those devices plug into their own. For
years, that worked well for Apple and acceptably for the accessory
makers. However, the latest and greatest iOS devices made a big change
that hit accessory makers hard.

But Microsoft using proprietary AxtiveX controls on websites is somehow OK?

But I'm using a pirated version of Windows and Office because Ford's VIN
database required IE. Therefore I am justified in stealing the software.
Six months strong at my new job! Woo hoo!!

steal, or from who, as long as you don't make the mistake of stealing
what's mine. Too bad you don't make money doing it.
