@mruler360: when you run a country open source, it's communism.
when you sell a device open source, it's bloody powerful. there's a difference there. besides, apple is only going to run things in ways that make them the most money.
i'm not saying to take away apple's initial coding. it's excellent the way it is. but why not allow end users to code in features themselves? we've been bitching for how long about no copy and paste? ok, well if the firmware was open source, some code monkeys could have fixed this already (i think there's actually a fix available on cydia).
just as linux isn't a replacement for mac or windows, but a good amount of open source programs are very useful on every platform.
@MeanMF: if they keep selling imacs for $1500 a piece, they'll be just fine.
maybe an apple executive won't be able to gold plate his lexus this year, but i'm not worried about it. he can still cry himself to sleep at his beach house.

Right-oh, open source is proven to make complete sense, because Linux totally conquered the desktop market, and the GIMP put Adobe out of business.
Oh, wait.

hopefully that made it a little clearer.

how about "nice"?
it would be "nice" if the iphone was open source.
and since it's my opinion, i refuse to be proved wrong by the dictionary :P
