I like how you put those 2 sentences together:
> This is pure unfounded speculation.
> In reality Apple probably wanted to make the Lion base install leaner.
Can't agree more - pure speculation.
> This is pure unfounded speculation.
> In reality Apple probably wanted to make the Lion base install leaner.
Can't agree more - pure speculation.
For instance, deleting everything from my iPod without warning probably made sense for Apple's copyright negatiations with media companies. It didn't make much sense to me. Censoring dictonaries and banning everything sexual, satirical, political or otherwise "unclean" from the app store probably makes sense for Apple. Makes no sense to me.
So, I guess, the issue I have with the phrase "making sense" is that it obfiuscates the fact that everyone has their own vested interests and the vested interests of a particular large corporation are sometimes very different from mine.
Couldn't agree more! Especially when it comes to large corporations where you are a product being sold to advertisers, they're even worse than large corporations that accept money from you in return for goods and services.
Ad driven companies have an incentive to spy on me and I have to defend against that. On the other hand, they have to be pretty agnostic when it comes to the type of content they enable and that gives me free and anonymous access to pretty much anything I want.
