As a designer, I'm a bit confused by this criticism. The reason why I hate Facebook so much, is that because every single space is jam-packed with text and content. Negative space is important to give some visual space to breathe. I like the new design and google+ in general because it feels simple, clean, etc. Do you complain about google's search engine page being too simple as well? Maybe it's just subjective, but I like the empty space.

Exactly. Thanks for explaining this.

I'm honestly curious what instances you're referring to where people were FORCED to buy Apple devices. So if they didn't buy these apple devices what would happen? They would be put in jail?

Also, exerting significant control over the rest of the market of smartphones still doesn't mean Apple has forced you to buy their products. Just means they are the leader in their particular market. you don't have to buy ANY smartphone or start a business based upon smartphones. Not sure how this is a violation of anybody's rights.

Absolutely agree. If the conditions set forth by Apple don't please you, stop being their customers or developing for their platform. Simple as that.

Am I missing something? Nobody is forced to purchase an Apple device. Nobody is forced to earn all of their revenue through Apple's devices. Nobody is forced to use their iBooks app either. How is this a monopoly? If you don't like their conditions, don't start your business or purchase books on their platform.
