    Well, no Nokia makes boots, why they boot the phone if it looses sim connection. They also made tires, and their winter tires are rather good.

    But the only thing that remain nokia, is that they boot the phone if sim connection is lost. The rest goes under the name nokian. Which could mean similar to "it was nokias" or "it is nokias"

    Nokia is a Finnish company, I'm from finland, and I know it's the latter part.

    Finnish companies are old school, military hierarchy, but lack vision and has no steve jobs. And it's not only Nokia as a finnish company that suffers the same ill treatment form management, it's basically every major Finnish company.

    Have you actually looked at the case at all?

    And who sued who first. You believe nokia sued Apple over telecom technology. But read what it was about.

    Yeah, but looking at it you thought Nokia would sue over telecom tech. But over integrated camera in phones n stuff, not the real deal where they actually could have a case.

    Common, for sure Apple would win such a case.

    True, it's not like in the -80s when Mac hardware where light years ahead of the intel pc's.

    First thing that made them more similar was PCI, then USB and finally that Apple adopted the inferior but more successful Intel architecture.

    Nope, OSX is cheap compared to windows.

    Ever upgraded your windows PC?. My 4 year old mac still feels like it was new, and yeah it still beats many PC you get in shops today. I've upgraded OSX from 10.4 to 10.6 during that time, and it will run 10.7 just as nicely.

    I have no plans to get a replacement yet. I guess that still within 2 years, I will not feel the need for a new system. That is 6 years with same hardware. My work PC's gets renewed twice in that time frame. And I doubt my next work PC will be any smother than the mac I have. My current mac is a real work horse.

    It's a MacPro1,1 @ 2.0GHz

    well is still use Google as if it where a search engine, but I'm looking forward to a new one coming up soon. Starting up as the old Google search engine. But to call Google a search engine today, is quite ignorant imo.

    Need a competitor to google that can produce better search results, not promoted or supported search results. But what actually search for what I tell it to search for.

    Nah i would not define it that way, OSX is short for MacOSX. The kernel is XNU and the "bsd" system Darwin.

    It's perfect analogy, as with iphones or mac or windows pc's. You do actually own the hardware, but you never own the software, unless you made your own software for it and never started up the licensed software.

    So yes, you do "lease" software, but not hardware. So you still own it, and your allowed to do what ever you want with it. But you may not be allowed to use the bundled software.

    They already have the app-store for macosx, personally I've even bought some software trough it. No it's not looked like on the ios devices.

    But as a owner of a few "smart" phones for some years already, long before the iphone, I do appreciate the app-store model for the ios devices. It's far better than the competition offers. True there are some cons, but the pros widely cover those.

    Appstore is one reason they have trouble with gplv3, but it's not the only problem they got with it, and probably far from their biggest problem with it.

    After all they are a hardware company not a software company, true they do both splendidly, and are actually better on the software part than on the hardware part, but that is not how they do business. They sell hardware.

    So I do understand that they don't want other companies to copy their hardware. Apple is quite seldom suing over software, if it's not a counter suit. But it happens that they do.

    But if you look up higher up in the comments you actually find one intelligent comment about this, that actually might carry 99% of the real reason why Apple abandons GPL.

    Get real?

    To tell you the truth, I never felt so locked in when i tried to use Linux, With Windows, I expect to be locked in, not with linux. But where I've been free to do what ever I want has been with the Mac.

    I feel locked in when standards are not supported. On windows side I just have to mention HTML, but there are more examples. On open source system, I just have to say MPEG. On the mac I have neither of those problems, I'm free and the best of all, I'm legal.
