    Is there a way both of them can lose?

    You could just root for the lawyers.

    ...and once they can't help but use their yachts, also in open seas, they will inevitably start falling prey to storms, cyclones, etc.? (commonness of which will be increased greatly due to warming, in which building the fleet of yachts also had its part?)

    After having to mess with J2ME, Qtopia, Symbian, and all the other idiots who basically put the iPhone where it is today, I find being forced to use XCode and Objective-C instead of other tools akin to being being forced to only fuck supermodels instead of lunch ladies.

    I personally feel that Apple should sue itself.

    Specifically the Quick Time team should sue the iPhone and iPod OS team for not putting Quick Time support in the OS. Seriously, why must we all convert our Quick Time movies? Is it really that hard to support their own format on their own device?

    Do I root for the layers because they are the ones who will win, or because they are less evil than both sides?

    Don't take it any more seriously than graffiti on the bathroom wall.

    Don't disparage the usefulness of a bathroom graffito. I met my ex-girlfriend Jenny that way.

    It's funny i haven't heard any complaints about it. Apple's got a monopoly on the public outcries market.

    if programmers wrote programs the way lawyers make laws, a

    int x=0; while(x < 10) { printf ("%d\n", x); x++ }

    would be written as a 20 pages of code, at least..

    Yes, but you'd be paid $200 an hour to write it, and could expense the pork rinds. You may be on to something...
