2 of the big five in a dispute over "ethics of technology (ab)use". One commenter had the thought, that this reaction from Apple is just straight aligned with the rules they created for every corp - regardless of their market share or $.
But - i guess there will be negotiations. FB is in a position to make deal.
Bad press in the dev-world - on dev-topics - didn't hold the masses and average Joe back to continue using FB. And this fail won't, too. Me sounding fatalistic, i know. But this outrage in the dev-world isn't enough to demask the beast.
Red lines crossed - and next week the PR department will fix it.
I don't know what needs to happen until the masses of FB-addicts switch to "open technology" and leave their silos.
I don't know that Facebook is in a position to make a deal. Apple just won a mountain of positive press by taking a tough stance on this, and without having to actually take Facebook's legitimate apps away from their users. I think Facebook is just going to have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
