" Technologies that are not generative, such as the iPhone or TiVo,
and that do not have the capacity to produce user-driven change.
Whereas on a PC any user can write and share code in ways the
manufacturer never imagined, on a tethered technology the consumer
must use the product in the way specified by the manufacturer.
Tethered technologies are not adaptable, nor are they accessible, nor,
in some cases, are they particularly easy to master. There’s nothing
wrong about these technologies in and of themselves, but as consumers
increasingly move away from generative technologies towards tethered
ones, the overall capacity for innovation and creation declines. " -

Netstumbler, Wifi Where and the like are now gone. I'm not sure if the
"no private API calls" rule was enforced on all Apple Store
applications, or just those from a certain classes.
