Nope, I downvote them because they are trite
Really? You're suggesting that a move by Apple to screw money from newspaper publishers is going to be the end of the Internet?
Really?
And you want to be up-voted on that?
The newspapers, bless 'em have cottoned on to the fact that they can make some money by erecting paywalls. Paywalls that people can burrow through by paying cash and using either a Web browser (or at a premium) an iApp. Apple's decided that it would like to screw some money out of them. for the iApp access. Does that look money grasping? Yes. A threat to life liberty and UDP?
Apparently you think that Apple's move means that I won't be able to use IRC soon. But no, you're confusing the Web and the Internet.
So you think that Apple demanding payment for iApps will somehow close down the Web. How about the possibility that Apple charging for iApps will actually make the vanilla Web more attractive and stronger?
You sir deserve all the downvotes that you can garner.
