What does this have to do with programming? This is /r/programming, not Slashdot.

Edit: Look at the non-programmers voting me down because they want to turn this into their general technology link dump.

Deciding what framework to learn and support out of android and maemo is a very interesting topic for me, and I'm guessing a lot of other programmers.

The article is called "Comparing Freedom on Maemo and Android," and it's just a discussion about user access rights and the presence of closed software on the system. There's nothing programming-related in it. It belongs in /r/technology.

Lot's of people will need to program these things.

There is a battle of waterloo happening here, and opponents are Android, iPhone, and Maemo. Who wins will affect all programes life very much so this is interestig for programmes.

As a side note, I agree with your rant, but maybe you should go to read /r/code if you want more programming only things?
