If that's freedom, it stinks. Being able to pop open terminal, gain root on a tacked on phone experience on a tablet isn't freedom. It's being part of an experiment. One that if you have certain wants (like using the forward camera for Skype), needs (like syncing to a Mac) or desires (PR 1.2) then... you're probably upset, disgruntled or disenfranchised.

Gerbick, you're too smart to trivialize the issue like you just did. "Hatred"??? Come on-- that's sophomoric. C-.

I'll gladly debate this subject on objective merits but not THAT.
