One of the biggest failures they have, is they're unable to develop their own OS/Software by themselves, see their source tree[0], it's just GNU utils, BSD utils, and other stolen parts, not to mention the bad design of their hardware and it's overprice.

Hello suckless folks, I am not very familiar with the usage of mailing lists and unsure whether this is the right place to post this request, but just like the title says, I am collecting the sins of Apple. I will be having a speech/presentation on problems of Apple the next week at my school where I plan to talk about the wrongs against people and sane software Apple has on account. I share the passion for C and ingenious, simple, concise and fair software and have been reading everything in dev and hackers mailing lists for a few months, which inspired me to ask you, sane guys, who seem to have a similar view on software and computers as I do, but have much more experience and skill in the field, for some input as well. Do you know about some bad things Apple has done in their pursuit of ever-increasing profits? Do you know about ways Apple is against free and open-source software? Please let me know. Naturally, if you know about some good deeds of Apple, I accept them as well. In return I will include everyone who shares some information in the sources and briefly mention the great suckless community as well. Thanks in advance, Lukáš P.S: If this is indeed the wrong place to post this or it doesn't belong here for one reason or another, I am sincerely sorry and in that case, please ignore this post/mail.
