"There can be no doubt that general-purpose computing has been a boon to
the world. The ability to run different kinds of programs, from various
sources, including bought from companies, written from scratch, and,
well, built from source, is something that we take for granted on
many—most—of the computing devices that we own. But that model seems to
be increasingly disappearing in many kinds of devices, including
personal computers, as a recent kerfluffle in the Apple world helps to
demonstrate."
