In a recent interview on Bloomberg Television, Roger McNamee of Elevation Partners discussed why he thought Apple is beginning to act like a “dumb monopolist.” While noting Apple is “the most amazing thing I’ve seen in 30 years of covering the tech industry,” McNamee said the company’s anti-competitive nature can be witnessed in recent retail layoffs and its effort to consciously slow down HTML5 web app development on its platforms. He also talked about the iPhone 5, claiming Apple is “increasingly dependent just on the software for their retention because the hardware’s not that cool.” Other topics of conversation included Google, Yahoo, and Zuckerberg post-IPO.
