Jimmy Wales Declares App Store Models a Threat

An anonymous reader writes "Wikipedia's chief says models such as the App Store on the iPad are not only a dangerous chokepoint to internet freedom, but that this is a real and immediate problem that's of more concern than the overblown what if's of the net neutrality debate."

I thought we had something special, Jimmy.

All those hours spent gazing fondly at your picture at the top of every Wikipedia page. Installing the Jimmy Wales extension for Chromium, so I could see you everywhere. Knowing that you were looking just at me...

You have betrayed me, Jimmy, with your false generalization of software distribution systems. Words cannot express the anger and shame I feel.

I want my $2.50 back.

The ApplicationCache object's cache host is associated with an application cache whose application cache group's update status is idle, and that application cache is the newest cache in its application cache group, and the application cache group is not marked as obsolete.

Wow. English major?

A personal appeal

So this a personal appeal from Wikileaks founder Jimmy Wales to stop buying apps then?

Yo dog, we heard you like cache so we put a cache on your cache so you can cache while you cache.
