Will iPhone NDA mean ‘Never Develop Apps?’
Macworld — ... could possibly make, well, asked and answered. So instead of clamping down on communication, Apple needs to institute a campaign of glasnost. The NDA is a Berlin Wall, keeping the oppressed citizens of iPhone town hemmed in. And the more that communication and freedom are stifled by that wall, the more people are going to be lining up to slip through the cracks to what they perceive as a land of freedom .
