<p>Both software developers and users should demand more.
Developers should look for ways to reach their users
unimpeded, through still-open platforms, or through
pressure on the terms imposed by the closed ones. And
users should be ready to try "off-roading" with the
platforms that still allow it—hewing to the original
spirit of the PC, perhaps amplified by systems that let
apps have a trial run on a device without being given the
keys to the kingdom. If we allow ourselves to be lulled
into satisfaction with walled gardens, we'll miss out on
innovations to which the gardeners object, and we'll set
ourselves up for censorship of code and content that was
previously impossible. We need some angry nerds.</p>
