perceptive projection

Wrote an email to yahoo telling them that if they accept, they'd lose me as their user.

Me and those who I know.

I use yahoo services laergely because it is NOT microsoft, yahoo email is not hotmail. yahoo im is not msn.

microsoft SUCKS. 

Of all the big companies out there, there are very few leaders of these companies that can be admired. In the old days, Steve Jobs would fall into one of those leaders.

I even found his speech at the Standford graduation in 2005, "Stay hungry, stay foolish", to be inspiring.  After all, I have always had a healthy respect for people who had faced their life's tribulations and not only survived it, but survived it well and became the better person because of it. He, I thought, to be one of such personages.

Yet, these days I must admit I am somewhat disappointed with what Apple, the company he'd built and led again, is practicing in the business world. The decisions to limit its iphone to work only for At&T. This bothers me so much because I always think that American custormers are already too long being fooled by these behind the scenes monopolies while touting free market on the outside. Then Apple followed that decision to limit its iphone customers to buy the phone only with cash and also two phones per each person/credit card. 

What is this? I understand the point of view, that they are trying to protect their phones from being resold, still though, this is exactly the idea of a free market, when you sell a product, there will always be the risk that your product would be resold. But that is exactly the buyer's right. Once a product is being bought, cash/money exchanged, the buyer should have full right as to what he or she wants to do with the product, you as the seller can only shut up, you are already being paid for that product, a service has been exchanged to the satisfaction to both sides, because if you are not satisfied then you shouldn't sell your product at all.

But not like this. Not with the practice that well, I take your money but also I still have some say to the property that now belongs to you. Ever since when Apple has become a socialist company?

And this I find disappointing that Steve Jobs is just another hypocrite produced by America. I am not surprised. But yes, tremendously disappointed.
