Apple-Orange

Charles Miller:

Today, if you’re a teenager with a Mac (insert some other platform into this paragraph if you object to Apple on moral or financial grounds), you can download for free the same tools that professional developers use to write Mac, iPhone and iPad applications. You can read countless free tutorials on how to use them, download reams of sample code for free, and ask for help on forums full of people who may never know you’re a precocious kid. And if you’re a thirteen-year old who can wheedle $100 out of your parents for the subscription, you can publish a best-selling iPhone app.

Can we just pause a moment and admit how mind-blowingly awesome that is?

We do indeed live in a mind blowing time.
