Thanks to all, I am glad I posted on the weekend so it did not take any
valuable time away from linux stuff! I have to agree with the argument
that although i don't trust anyone really, (having been 20 in early
1970) i trust apple less than google, and i don't do anything that is
illegal. So basically everyone seems to back up the general view that
apple is not intrinsically better than google and if i really get geeky
and paranoid i can go to cyanogenMod (really like that). Am saving this
whole list of answers to mete out to my son if he keeps on about the
wonders of apple...heehee even though one can't even change their own
battery on an iphone.
I feel that an open source community is an improvement on the commercial
in a learning application. (At least that is the case in medicine (my
area) and would be a vast improvement for society in general). Open
source is basically peer-reviewed technology.
sincere thanks to everyone who responded, confirming my initial thoughts !
here is an interesting new idea in photography for those looking beyond
the current digital options, if you haven't seen it check out this
camera; using technology developed at Stanford years ago, a light field
camera ; lytro <
https://www.lytro.com/camera> I think it will be my next
camera, and that very soon.
