It is great that you make a good living off iOS, but labeling everyone who will be put out of business because of Apple's price fixing arrangement and prohibition of external purchase links as egomania is amazingly blinkered.

If anything, what is amazing is your inability to appreciate the significance of events if they do not impact you negatively.
