Submission + - Apple, The New Microsoft?
VE3OGG writes: "Apple, the penultimate source of cool. The marketers of slick. The next "evil empire"? While it might sound goofy at first, Rolling Stone magazine is running an interesting article that summarizes some very interesting points that detail how Apple could become the next "Evil Empire". Among the reasons given, Apple's call to be rid of DRM (while continuing to use it in iTunes); Apple's perceived arrogance when they warned consumers not to upgrade to Vista, while not rushing to fix the problem themselves; and Apple's seemingly unstoppable market dominance in the form of the iPhone, a product that is months from release but steals the press from more competitive products. What do you think, could Apple eventually take the place of Microsoft?"
