The reactionary Cnet author:

I can understand that Apple’s view of computing is at odds with Stallman’s view of the world, but this sort of outburst is uncalled for.

Regarding "righteous indignation", ahem...
Kind of not safe for work =P
Please insert the absolute most vile, evil, sick, depraved things you can imagine here. Things that would make Lucifer blush...
(I'm behaving pretty well~! :P )

^CNet, ever conscious of how it's bread gets buttered, responds as expected.
Now if the FOSS/Linux world would just purchase a little more advertising and clicks, things might be very different for them.

It's funny that the author defends RMS' use of Harold Washington's quote by saying that it was a quote... but he meant it in the same context. Just because you quote someone who said some sentiment that you agree to doesn't absolve you because they weren't your words. I don't think it was bad- it was just words. But I hate when people try to absolve themselves or others by saying it wasn't my words- I was just quoting!.

It is ironic that Steve Jabs, along with Steve Wozniac, helped put the concept of personal and freedom into computing. It's sad that once those concepts served their purpose in getting Apple where it wanted to be, Steve Jobs next decided it was time for Apple to take them away.
