"Apple extended the courtesy of meeting with me one day after my column on the closing of the OS X x86 kernel source code was published online. To sum up Apple's objections, they felt I had given a year-old story a fresh coat of paint and sensationalized it for an audience that wasn't affected by it. Yet no story is more timely, or more broadly relevant, than this one." Tom Yager, who raised concerns over the closed-source Intel half of the MacOS, details why he was so concerned. "The kernel will open up again, this tempest will fade away, and I'll be glad for it. What will continue to concern me so deeply is that Apple thought it would be OK, that nobody would notice or care." Note: The 2nd link was incorrect, it is fixed now. Excusez-moi.

I would mod you up if I could... this is my first comment. I see that you were making a good and humorous remark... where as whomever modded you down... apparently did not.
You didn't sound at all like a troll at least as far as I am concerned.... And looking at your track record, I don't think you meant for it to be.

I have been watching Apple from afar for years and they never seemed like a company that was big on openness.
Apple is being pretty hypocritical to accuse someone of sensationalizing news. From the way Apple acts, it would be easy to think that every Apple product launch is the cure for cancer.
