Mac Mind’s site admin ain’t no fanboy, aiiight?

The Mac Mind's site admin Matt Evans is getting a bit of flack about an editorial he wrote explaining his lack of Apple fanship. The three pins of the article attack Apple for disabling the illegal DRM
hack perpetuated by Real
to get their RealNetworks trcks to play on Apple's player, ripping off third-party developers like Panic (Audion), Karelia
(Watson) and Pixoria
(Konfabulator), and price-fixing.

On point one: gimme a break. This is hardly about 'freedom of choice' – it's about Real trying to make money. On point two: Dashboard as Konfabulator rip-off has been done to death and thoroughly
debunked elsewhere, the idea for Watson most likely itself came from Sherlock, and Apple did offer a deal to Panic and was turned down. On point three: several Mac resellers themselves came on board in the article's comments section to testify that Apple doesn't price fix.

Please feel free direct all further flack either here or

there
. :)
