Apple Declares DRM War On Sneaker Hackers
theodp writes "Nicholas Carr is not pleased that Apple has applied for a patent to extend DRM to tennis shoes and other articles of clothing. Apple apparently views tennis-shoe DRM as a way to head off a potential plague of sneaker hacking. 'Some people,' the patent application observes, 'have taken it upon themselves to remove the sensor from the special pocket of the [iPod-linked] Nike+ shoe and place it at inappropriate locations (shoelaces, for example) or place it on non-Nike+ model shoes.'"
We don't care.
Thank you, the Internet.
The parent post is the most profound post many of us have ever read. However, Apple is not necessarily gay. Apple IS effeminate.
Males who use Apple products tend prefer other men to share their sexual urges together. They are characterized by their distinct hollow whistling sound caused by their passage(also known as "leakage") of gas, which they cannot control due to their rectums being beaten into a prolapsed state.
Females who use Apple products are cheeky, chatty, cute, and blonde.
