Michael Arrington didn't feel like joining my revolution (officially, at least) but he did decide he'd had enough, and claims that he's paying a termination fee and dropping his iPhone. He'll be using an Android handset instead from now on. TechCrunch has been the epicenter of griping about Apple's handling of the App Store, and I don't imagine that just because Arrington is leaving his iPhone behind that they'll quit covering the issue over there.

I was planning to purchase a MacBook to replace my aging laptop real soon but I am not so sure about that anymore. I have enough headaches trying to sync my iPod Touch with Linux the way it is, that should have been a hint of what I should expect from their products and services...
You expect to be able to sync your iPod Touch with an OS that it does not support and never claimed to support? Now that's sad.

Yeah, it is very sad to want to do what you want instead of what the Mighty Apple allows you to do with the stuff you bought with your money.
You are very sad too. Maybe further prayer at the Church of the Mighty Apple will cheer you up with some revelation or another new device that will dictate how you do things.

I can guarentee that your iPod will sync absolutely brilliantly with your new MacBook.
There are good sides and bad sides to tightly coupled products. The good stuff is around a much higher level of integration and consistency then you can get from a loosely coupled stack. The bad stuff is that if you try and mix bits that dont fit in with it, you are going to have a hard time.

You know what is truly sad? Is is watching all these Apple apologists coming out of the wood in full swing to defend Apple no matter how stupid the statements or actions that said company throws around a lot these days.
I really hope that Apple feels the pressure of the bad PR currently running on the blogosphere enough to warrant some action from them.
