I disagree with your assessment of Jobs. I think you’re confusing the free market with open technology. The two things are not the same. Agree or disagree with Apple’s “closed and proprietary” marketing strategy, but don’t try to claim it isn’t capitalistic. It is. It’s just that Apple decided long ago to be the Lexus of the computer market. One doesn’t have to sell cheap to the masses to make huge profits as part of the free market.
Before people reply telling me that Apple sells crap at high margin, I should add that whether Apple is hype or not, there are only two things that matter: #1 Apple’s customers believe they are getting good value for the money spent, and #2 Apple is able to make and sell its products at a profit.
