Hi Alan, I very much agree with you and would even go a little bit further: I listen to the podcast because of the strong opinions expressed by the Javaposse members. This is the essence of the podcast and it gives me a chance, to maybe look at some topics from another perspective. So guys: Shout out your opinion! ;-)
Cheers Johannes P.S.: I feel the behaviour of Apple IS at least as unethical as the behaviour of Apple. The consequence for me is not using devices or software from those companies if I can avoid is. And, as far as I understand it, that's exactly what Apple-Fanboy Joe is proposing.
