They are being charged of "knowingly advanced and profited from unlawful gambling activity".
So if they made/sold the software for/to somebody who was going to use it for unlawful gambling *knowingly* then I guess the justice has a case against them.
On a knife analogy:
If I make and sell knives legally, then its hard to be accused when somebody uses them to commit illegal action.
On the other hand if I sell the knife somewhere where selling of knives is prohibited, or if I make it and sell it by order to a somebody who is going to use it illegally and I am aware of that at the time of making/selling, then I guess I am probably at wrong.
Gun laws are an oxymoron. Criminals, by definition, do not abide by the laws. So it is only the good people that do not have guns in gun free zones. I do have strong feelings about gun laws but I do not think that this is the time to air them.
My thoughts are with those unfortunate parents whose grief must be too hard for anyone to bear
While your argument is logically correct, in cases like this usually we don't have to do with criminals but with long-term lunatics or people who just flipped, who were not criminals till that point in time.
Stricter gun laws would supposedly make it harder for a lunatic their hands on guns, and almost impossible for somebody who just got pissed off and short-circuited to find a gun in short period of time.
Consumers can be suckers, they can easily be fooled to pay much more in order to get what they want or think they need or is hip, in fashion, status symbol, etc.. I do it all the time.
But they are not completely idiots and they hate evil empires. And that's what Apple is becoming. All those lawsuits and control Apple is trying to have over its devices is coming back to bite them.
I was one of the first to buy the iPhone 3 and then the iPhone 4. And although I was in time for upgrade skipped 5, and will go for nexus 4 instead. Same in the laptop front, I won't be spending any dollars for Apple products any time soon.

Are gun makers responsible for how their guns are used? :)
Depends.
Are they knowingly sell them to someone who is going to commit a crime?
Do they sell them somewhere where selling guns is illegal?

do you help yourself, tell the bank, or shout about it from the rooftops?
Out of curiosity, if somebody was shouting about it from the rooftops; what's the law he would be breaking in that case?
