Can someone help proofread this.?

Question by Aaron: Can someone help proofread this.?
Its an uncompleted draft, I am still deciding on a conclusion. Any addiontal ideas are welcome.

Here is the article made so far.
Today, Apple has released yet another product that onces again creates another step backwards in computer invocation and freedom of choice, while making a step forward into widespread vendor lock,
This new device is call, the iPad.

The iPad uses the same DRM locked down technology that is also found many other of their products, including the iPod touch, iPhone, and iTunes.

DRM stands for Digital rights management, but better known as digital restriction management. With DRM, you do not know computer of your device. With the iPad and other Apple product, you have no control on how to use the Device, Apple does. Using DRM, Apple can force you into preventing you from using any other vendor, as well giving unfair competition by making sure that all third party software on their devices are inferior. And that is just the tip of the Iceberg.

Using DRM, Apple makes its so that all third party apps are not able to run in the backgroud. If any non-apple app wants to run, all users must first close the app they a currently running. Doing this can prevent many programs from functioning in ways users expect them to or just out right working at all.
Such as:
No IM clients will run when run another app
Fully featured paternal controls are impossible to make as the paternal control must be turned off for application to run. Leaving only the very easly bypassed inbuilt one.
Locator apps can not work as they must run to work. So if there was ever an app make to find your lost child, they will never work once they start trying their favorite game while you child is waiting for you to find him.
If you wish to run any non-iTunes media player dues to avilalble of song choices or audio support, you will never be able to play it while running apps like your favorite game, talking to your friends through IM, etc
And there are much more examples

And that is not all, Apple also makes it so that all apps must go through apple’s app store. Apple has full and complete control over who makes an app avilable for their devices. No matter how much time. Effort, and money you spent creating the App. Apple has a full rights to reject it for any reason they see fit.
Angelo DiNardi’s MailWranger app was rejected because it offer similar functionality of Apple’s iMail program, even though MailWranger had additional features that iMail doesn’t have.
Alex Sokirynsky’s Podcaster app was rejected because it allows you to listin to music online, thereby competing with iTunes.
Juggleware’s Freedom Time was rejected because it deamed politcal figures, in this case George W Bush
Plausible Labs’s Peeps was orginally rejected it because it used a non-public application protocol interface (which turned out to be false)
Catamount Software’s Prohibition 2 was rejected due to content.
Josh Cuppett’s The Odyssey: Trail of Tears was rejected due to its use screen images
and there is much more.
Hmm, posting to yahoo answers seems to remove all the bullets I used.

The article will end with a link inviting people to join an Anti-DRM campaign as well as pension for apple to remove the DRM in their products.
