Yesterday Steve Jobs may have descended from the mountaintop today with Moses Tablet in hand, but a group of protestors were waiting in the foothills with a simple message: the iPad isn’t a divine revelation, but a golden calf.
Members of the Free Software Foundation staged a small protest outside today’s Apple event in San Francisco, making the case against Apple’s use of DRM. The group’s four-foot signs were headed with the message "Entering Apple Restriction Zone" and laid out the tablet’s detriments:
* No free software
* No installing apps from the Web
* No sharing music or books
* We can remotely disable your apps & media
