I have also been complaining about it with friends for at least a year. I talked about this with people around me already a number of times. Not just me, other people chimed in too. Even Macdailynews posted an open letter about this (although it felt like they were riding on Marco&#8217;s back but I am sure they also completely agreed). The only problem was, Marco was too famous already. So the &#8220;Apple is doomed&#8221; sensationalism naturally built on top of it.
