The more I think about learning Objective-C the more I think its a bad idea.

I don;t know why we are all moving away from heterogeneous development. Its idiotic. It may be a lock in for Apple, but its a fu*k yourself over in the long run. If I am going to program anything in the future, it better run on more then one platform. HTML5 is fine but its a crappy set of standards pulled together making a dogs breakfast of a development environment. (Compared to near anything else). But if thats what we have to do for now. So be it.

We will simply have to pay for the big boys trying to lock in thire technology (apple) or push out others (Google) by being forced to used development technologies that are not ideal.

Sorry mate, as a developer, who understands a lot about the reasons behind this and that. Yes it is anti-competitive.. Steve's reasons do not hold water for the reasons given. And really, I don;t mind if Steve simply says. No we decide not to support this/that for competative reasons. The problem is he lies and spins the truth. (Bad Behavior in my book) Google also think there Ad model is anti competitive. OPEN YOUR EYES. Apple is not a good net citizen. Google also has its issues. We all, do, don;t ignore them.

Sure, you need to have a real monopoly before the law steps in but anti competitive behavior is still BAD. Companies do bad things all the time. In this age of "Greed is destroying the world" I would like to think people are mindful of this and would walk away from those behaving badly. Steve, when he gets control is a very good example of this. He does come fomr the Microsoft era of "Evil Rules", hes just much better at spinning the truth. In some ways I feel Steve is worse then Bill ever was as.. Bill may have taken advantage of his position, but everyone knew it and really he didn;t pretend otherwise. Steve pretends to be your best friend, even while pushing the knife in deeper. "No Mate, the Knife is the best thing for you. Trust me, I am pure in what I do..". Right.. Strange how all these Pure decisions tend to restrict people more and more to your eco system.. Its just a way of doing business. People open your eyes and make informed decisions.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, you HAVE TO USE itunes No choice. Thats what he is saying... Apple CONTROLS you, not the other way around, and thats why it gets so much push back by the smarter people on here. What are you?
