‘The Personal Computer Is Dead’

An interesting essay from Jonathan Zittrain arguing that nerds should be angry over the controls being placed on our computing devices. Controls like App Store regulations and the relationships that those cause for developers with vendors.

I don’t agree with the argument that this is something to be angry over — yet — but I could easily see these controls becoming bad. That said I think history, thus far, has shown us that if anything the controls loosen over time.
