Comment on iPhone 4S outselling iPhone 5

The maps fiasco makes it clear that Apple is at a crossroads: They can

1. Open up the platform, or

2. Go down the same road that they went down in the 80s/90s, handing the bulk of the business over to an open platform.

I know which way I'm betting this turns out.

All roads lead to open by way of a maps fiasco? I can't even begin to diagram your thought process.

Where did I say/imply "All roads lead to open"? I can't even begin to diagram your method of reading comprehension.

You gave two options at a crossroads as a result of a maps fiasco, both options end up with the "open" solution winning. My reading comprehension is fine, your arguments are faulty.

> both options end up with the "open" solution winning.

I see you've changed from "all roads lead to open", so it's a start. Keep going.

Edit: On second thought, don't. This thread doesn't have a lot going for it, I'm out.
