What I find amazing is how many Apple users brag about the extreme profit margin Apple is extracting from them, as if that is something positive for consumers. You can see it most frequently in iPhone vs Android discussions after Android very clearly passed iPhone in market share. Then the argument became "but Apple has much higher profit". Yes, they do, and it is coming out of your wallet, why are you happy about that?

What is the difference between buying an unlocked iPhone 5S for $650 and an unlocked Galaxy S5 for $650?

Just because Apple sells more of them, so they should reduce the price, and therefore reduce what they can invest into new products?

You understand there's a difference between profit and revenue which is independent of market share, right?

There's been a lot of articles about Apple taking 3/4 of all the profits in the mobile phones market.

You also understand that the growth in the mobile phone market are on the cheap phones side - low to very low profit margins on those, right? Or in some cases, negative profits (ie, loses)

Are you fucking retarded? The OpenBLD team can always contribute fixes to the version that OpenSSL maintains.

How? Did you see the number of changes and fixes already made? The OpenSSL team already said they can't handle it.

But hey, you're right, they should totally create a vendor-locked version of an extremely critical core Internet security technology and then tell people that they can either pay up or do the work to vender-unlock their non-portable code themselves. Selfish fucks.

"Hey, your shit stinks. If you can't fix it, I'll need to clean it up for my own use" and they're selfish fucks? You have a fucked up view of the world. Nobody owes you a damned thing. You are welcome to use OpenBSD if you want a safe secure version of ssl. If you don't, then don't. If you don't want to use OpenBSD, then go and pay someone to do it, or do it yourself.

Let me repeat that - nobody owes you a damned thing. This is a labor of love. They do not love what you love. They do not have to love what you love.

You are the fucking selfish fuck.
