    this will also help people to compare Apple with the likes of M$, RIAA and MPAA. brilliant move. tossing about lawsuits. allot of the "mac culture" is built on religious fanaticism. this wont help. makes it look like they are all about the dollar and not about their customers. whatever, so they are just a company trying to make a buck. next...

    Apple is more 'evil' than MS or any other company. There just isnt a notion of it being evil in many people because Apple doesn't have much competition and Apple bigots are doing an excellent job.

    If only it were true. The Jobs worshipping Mac faithful won't be dissuaded from their veneration by this any more than religious people of today were by seeing hundreds of thousands of people killed while "God" stood by.

    How about this:
    1. Apple is a group of litigating bastards who sue people to death whenever they get the opportunity and it has sued more than MS and more companies than SCO.

    Oh brother. You fanbodyism knows no depths today!

    "That doesn't mean that folks should be allowed to kill business this way"

    If the information is accurate, then the truth is always a defense.

    If the information is inaccurate... then only fanboys like you feel let down.

    You need a hard look at your life. Apple is no better or different that MS, Exxon, GM, Toyota, Intel or anybody else.

    There are "leaks" from Intel all the time about new processors. Some of those are extremely critical.

    And when was the last time Intel sued a website?

    You can't answer fanboy, because the answer is: 0. Zero. Only Apple.

    The only difference is Apple has fanboys who think they're being "different" when they buy an Apple. You need to get out of the basement more.
