Apple 1984 Ad Commercial - Original Recording from The Day It First Aired

Request to Apple: Just let this slide and see how it plays out. Remember when you took out SuperBowl ads [1] demonizing authoritarian, totalitarian megacorps that told you how to think and what to do - YOU are that company in 2019. Maybe if you let this alt store be, and monitor it's metrics you'll see that your users really want cheaper, more-full featured apps that you'd never allow on the app store - like a competing browser engine (Chromium), or JIT enabled javascript core [2], ... It may also happen that this alt-store becomes a piracy and malware haven - in which case, your thesis of totalitarian moderation might win. I'd bet my money on the former - a thriving alt-store filled with apps Apple is too cowardly to approve on it's main store - like Steam Game Streaming, Chromium Browser, JIT enabled js/node, ...

I guess it doesn't matter, the smartphone is a tracking device by definition, they can track your movement with a dumb phone too, but there are much more possibilities in a device with recording capabilities and an internet connection. In Orwells '1984' they mandated the installation of a televisor tracking device, now they have one in every pocket, and so it goes that we traded privacy for convenience. It's a bit of an irony, that Apple started with the big brother commercial, and ended up bringing us the televisor. [VIDEO] Just because opportunity for an exploit is creating the reality of using that exploit, it seems as if it is then used for it's intended purpose..

Likewise. People should watch Apple's famous 1984 commercial. [VIDEO] Apple is not the same company it claimed to be back then. Dare I say Apple today is now the company they were against back then.
