Normally this is where the Macalope would insert "Cough," with a link to something proving how hilariously naive that is, but what's the point, really? Joe's solely fixated on Apple's foibles for some reason and facts would only get in the way of his self-righteous rant.

Look, there are aspects of Apple's control the Macalope doesn't like, either. But the problem with Wilcox's boycot is that in fleeing a company with control issues, he's run into the arms of one with tremendous privacy issues. Which, not surprisingly, he doesn't discuss for a second. Quite the contrary, if you bring them up, that just means you're part of the problem.

Meanwhile, expect more stories about Google, which surely some of you will insist is changing slave masters. Shame on you.

Indeed. Shame on us for not living in your black-and-white world, Joe. Nailed it.
