Some people will find value in a walled-garden and others will find it in other, more open-systems, but they will gravitate towards what provides them more value and more simplicity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719155543699667856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227621264295589628.post-86526998359724952712011-10-07T05:36:37.422-07:002011-10-07T05:36:37.422-07:00Are you saying that you value simplicity at this p...Are you saying that you value simplicity at this point in your life? <br /><br />Are you also noticing that walled gardens like the kindel and iOS can provide a great deal of value in life? Some of that value is in the form of simplicity? <br /><br />I notice I feel defensively toward open source and want to point out that there is a ton of open source software underneath many of these walled-garden platforms, for example, iOS. This, of course, is silly - most anyone reading this post knows that gcc, etc. are what powers a huge amount of stuff, even inside of Microsoft's world. We get simplicity from open source - you just have to be a software architect to experience that simplicity! <br /><br />Did I miss your point?Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108893972799045048noreply@blogger.com
