Wil sent me this blogpost by Anil Dash about Apple’s secrecy. This has become a very hot issue as of late, and numerous articles have come up, but none so well written and eloquent as this. All his points are presented in a precise, logical manner without seeming too rigid or boring—he kept me engaged up to the very end, so I encourage you all to take the jump below and read the article. I promise you it won’t disappoint. But first, an excerpt:

This squelching of communication about Apple’s products results in customers being unhappy or uncertain of the future value of their purchases, developers being too afraid to bet their livelihoods on a platform whose fundamental opportunities could be destroyed at any time, and suppliers being forced to inflict unreasonable or even inhumane restrictions on their employees.

    I didn’t expect you to post about it so soon :P. My half-intention was to show you that it used Movable Type but nonetheless the article itself was also quite interesting.

    • Well. :P It really was interesting.
      I also wanted to test out my blockquote style differentiated from my blockquote.anecdote style. XD
