On iPad Punditry and Curmudgeons →
Rui Carmo, from Tao of Mac, has some good points on why closed systems -like the iPad- have nothing to do with the end of tinkering, in On iPad Punditry and Curmudgeons:
Now, my take on the people who think the iPad and the degree Apple’s closed it down to work like it actually should (i.e., as a personal computing appliance) is somehow going to perform mass lobotomy on the next generation of tinkerers is pretty simple:
Those people are, quite simply, too over the hill and set in their ways to think outside their little boxes.
