Do you have any idea how much crap they are getting for that? People made a stink, and they learned their lesson.

And it's a cool thing. I hope Apple learns their lesson too, with articles like this.

My guess is that, in both cases (Honeycomb and FaceTime), it was more a problem of corporate inertia or laziness rather than evil.

Sounds evil to deliberately allow anyone to see the 2.x source but not the 3.x which is only a continuation, not a rewrite.

I'm not ready to say they've "learned their lesson" until they've actually /done/ something about it.
