I dont care about what Jonathan Shapiro does with his life. The "give up you hopes and dreams" was a reaction to "he may as well work for a large corporation and make use of it" and not about Jonathan in particular.

Well, what would I be wrong about? The products they make are crap, they do not follow the common standards, they trashtalk others publicly. The worst thing is that they can misbehave like this as much as they want because they own the market.

I'm just giving my honest oppinion. If I didnt want to be subjective I would write articles on Wikipedia.
