WTF r u smoking??

Apple's stock jumped 5% on friday when the SEC news cameout.]]>Dec 30th 2006 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/
OBJECTION!]]>Dec 30th 2006 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/Dec 31st 2006 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/
Let's check ourselves before things dissolve into an apple / anti-apple mess. Personally, I think every business should always question itself in regards to "best practice." And people should always be able to hold a business to account on that business's actions. Apple will either prove its legal kung-fu or prove the reality of its business practices against the quality of its product.

This article is written more as a list with Apple's legal issues spattered with language insinuating ominous times and legal entangles. It would serve better as a straight-faced list of the legal issues and perhaps some actual documents or references other than articles posted on this site. Not to mention 80% of the real messages are merely taken from the originating article.

If I were a baby bird in the nest, even I would not need this meal regurgitated at me.

I also had to replace a logic board on this current iBook I own (for a different reason), but this one fortunately had AppleCare so it didn't cost me anything.

I don't know why I put up with this. Oh, I remember; because the iBook is a kickass computer when it works.]]>Dec 31st 2006 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/
products aren't designed to last forever and many have design flaws to start with. why don't these individuals sue light bulb manufacturers as the filament is obliviously too delicate and burns out too quickly, among 1000s of examples.]]>Dec 31st 2006 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/Dec 31st 2006 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/30/apples-week-gets-worse-as-sec-filing-reveals-new-lawsuits/If you had poured a lot of time, effort and money into creating something, then some billion-dollar behemoth saw it and said 'Hi, we're going to use that. But since we're going to make it a bit better, and have an enormous marketing machine, we don't have to pay you anything. In fact, if you try to use or market it yourself, we may sue you,' I don't think you'd be singing the same tune.
And just so there's no confusion, Apple _does_ steal. They've stolen a lot of ideas from Open-Source projects, claimed them as their own Amazing Technological Breakthroughs(tm), and sold them without so much as a nod to the original project. In fact, some of the upcoming 'innovations' in Leopard are just eye candy glued onto existing XFree/X.org/FreeDesktop.org features.

I think the most ironic bit is how Apple gets so many of the 'I'm indie and want my computer to be counter-culture and have integrity; I don't want that evil Microsoft stuff - they're thieves anyway' to blindly buy into Apple's own corporate whoredom.

Oh, and on a final note: The 'Mac vs. PC' debate is just stupid. Macs _are_ PC's! Always have been. In fact, the Mac was the _first_ Personal Computer. Tear one open, and the only difference on a hardware level between a Mac and an x86 is the processor architecture - they both have IDE, PCI, PCIe, AGP, SCSI. If you're going to get religious about your computers, at least know what to call your gods and demons!]]>Jan 4th 2007 9:02AM
