Well, this is refreshing. While Richard Stallman is a staunch critic of anything closed and non-Free, his ire seems mostly directed towards DRM and Microsoft. However, a lesser known fact is that he often talks about Apple's Mac OS X too in his speeches. During those speeches, he repeatedly claimed Mac OS X contained a backdoor which allowed Apple to forcibly impose software changes upon users. Stallman has now posted a retraction for those claims.

Unfortunately Stallman is like watching a car crash in slow motion - you want to look away and yet you can't help but stare at the carnage that is about to unfold.
Like any leader of any group; he doesn't know when to step aside and keep quiet. He will eventually say something that is so stupid that it'll permanently disgrace FSF. What he is saying now is just strange and kooky but this is simply the beginning of a long road which will end up at a destination that even his supporters will shocked about.
