“For years, I have heard Apple lovers lament that Microsoft is evil because of its size,” Kopczynski blogs. “So if size is an indication to how evil a company is, then surely Apple will be more evil once it passes Microsoft?”
Full article, a first-parter that we somehow missed awhile back despite it being packed full of Kopczynski’s wisdom, here.
Kopczynski continues in his newly-published part two, “I would like to point at that thanks to complaints by Adobe, it looks like the FTC will be looking into Apple’s licensing agreement with iPhone application developers. This just further proves the point I tried to make about how Apple already is a monopoly that acts very badly.”

MacDailyNews Take: We told you the MCSE’s were going to lose their minds.
how moronic!
The great thing about bloggers is they’re not journalists.
Just another conspiracy theorist. STFU, already.
It’s not M$’s size that bothers me, it’s their ineptitude
and if apple were to act like the company you would like them to they too would be inept
you sir are an idiot
Yes, the radical IT people are already getting pitchforks and ropes in a fail attempt to save there lousy jobs.
IT, just go hang yourself with the weight of your smug ignorance of security, absolute abandonment of the end user, and your incesant need to contol everyhing we do in the name of system security.
Let freedom ring until your ears bleed!
For years, I have heard Apple lovers lament that Microsoft is evil because of its size,
Incorrect – Microsoft is evil because of its behavior. Their size merely enables their evil behavior to have a far more significant effect than if they were smaller.
Not that he’s interested in logical argumentation…
just Drink It!!!!
Go read the comments on his blog. All but one went ahead and ripped him a new one. Funny.
I wasn’t sure where to post this…
I emailed a website that I like from a New York City TV station, “NY1.” I asked them to dump Flash (in favor of HTML5). Here was their response:
[Fuzz 504] thanks for the e-mail. You’ll be glad to know that just last week we moved from Flash video to MP4 to accommodate our upcoming iPhone app. It should be hitting the App Store soon, although we have some more work to do before it’s iPad compatible.
The next step will be to integrate an HTML5-compatible video player so anyone with an HTML5-capable browser will be able to watch our videos without requiring a Flash plugin. There’s no timetable for that yet, but it’s certainly on the horizon.
Appreciate the feedback!

Just wanted to let everybody know that some are finally getting it.
Why do non-apple people think somehow they are privy to some sort of divine enlightenment and everyone who uses Apple products are just idiot morons who can’t see “the truth”?
I’m really sick of these a-holes.
I refused to click on the guy’s link because I didn’t want to reward his stupidity. I don’t consider Microsoft evil because it is big. (and it still owns about 90% on the traditional computer market) I consider microsoft evil because of how they amassed that market share, by consistantly stabbing partners in the back. Apple succeeds though innovation. Microsoft succeeded though stealing, lying, and locking out competition.
I buy from Apple only because they are evil.
Bellidancer:
You make too much sense. Smart and sexy.
Monopoly? I don’t think he understands the meaning of that word. Or he just doesn’t like it when others disagree with his own limited view of the world (or can do things without him, which defies his sense of control and superiority).
Good luck with that life perspective.
Arranging his deck chairs on the Titanic, I see.
An idiot M$ user born every second…
Where is Darwin when you need him?
“Monopoly? I don’t think he understands the meaning of that word.”
Well sir, you just landed on Park Place. Settle up?
I’ve met his kind. He wouldn’t have bought anything from Apple anyway. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Only those who have an incestuous relationship with Apple can get away with criticizing them, and even then you better make damn sure what’re saying resonates with those around you;
if you’re an outsider who uses the rest of the industry for perspective, to criticize Apple, you’re wasting your breath.
“Arranging his deck chairs on the Titanic, I see.”
Which was a real bitch at 45 degrees straight to Vivaldi . . oh my god no, make it allegro, no fuck that, vivace, oh no my fucking god, presto.
Sometimes size doesn’t matter (as much!). Evil can come in large or small packages. The dominance of M$ forced its evil on everyone because Windows PCs were everywhere and IT professionals were (and continue to be) highly invested in that platform (job security, if not user security). Even if Apple were “evil,” they are not providing any product that you absolutely have to have (although it certainly seems that way!). If you think that Apple is evil, then don’t purchase their frigging products. It is unclear to me why Tyson “Chicken” Kopczynski is teabagging Apple, but it certainly appears to be related to a mental illness.
Well, I made the mistake of wasting ten minutes of my life by giving this blogger the benefit of the doubt.
As the saying goes, “Nothing to see here folks … Move along…”
The whole basis for the argument is BS. I have rarely ever heard any Apple fan complain about MS’s size as the main problem.
But even if it was the case, it’s still wrong. Apple might be on the verge of overtaking MS’s market cap, but it still employs far fewer people. A company is made of people, not shares.
Well, what’s important to me about that article is that he spelled Kool-Aid properly. Trademarks and all that, y’know.
I’d love to know how it’s possible to have a monopoly when your market share is in the low double-digits.
