Tablets and smartphones are replacing computers. If we're using the game console model as our standard, we are, pardon the expression, fucked.

I shudder whenever someone so easily uses it as the comparison.

No one in the world has a problem with the App Store in general. Apple does a fantastic job running a storefront, lubricating a world wide payment and gift card system, etc. They run a tight, gorgeous system. The problem is when they push their reign of influence such that alternatives can't exist. When Amazon can't even link to a web store from their own app. That is just egregious overreaching that is indefensible.
