No you uneducated idiotic child, I am not talking about the Xerox case. I am talking about when Jobs cheated Woz out of 1000+ USD dollars by lying to him about how much they got paid for a contract. This is when they where first starting out and they agreed to split the payoff 50/50. Well jobs wanted 90/10 so he lied to Woz and kept most of the money himself.
Also research the story of the very first apple to that waz wanted to donate to an education org that was using a pdp11. Jobs said no and woz had to buy it himself.
Nothing, save for his ego, is more important to jobs than money.
Apple/Steve Jobs is about making money and their entire history shows this. Their entire PR campaign is just that, a PR campaign. It isn't the way the company really does things.
If it was they wouldn't even be publicy thinking about using the DMCA on real nor would they be such hard asses when it came to people copying 'their' look and feel.
For someone who thinks it isn't worth the effort you spent a lot of time doing it. Just because one of your gods has been show to be a little guy behind and curtin doesn't mean your have to respond complety off topic.
Perhaps you should spend less time on/. and more time looking for DJ work.;->
I do grasp basic english and grammer. I just do not consider/. to be a forum where it matters so I don't think the time to correct what I write. It isn't worth the effort.
I would like to point out that a systems supplier who is unable to get enought chips for it's systems from its supplier isn't making a comeback. (HINT: g5 imac delay). One could also say that a company that gets 10%-12% of revenue from a business line that it had an agreement not to enter is on shakey legal ground (HINT: Apple Records)
Please check out the Apple PR campaign. You know, the one that makes apple out to be a 'different', 'forward thinking', 'hip', 'not them', 'not the man' type of corp.
And when you have to lead off with a spelling correction that just makes you and your argument look like a bunch of bullshit.
It's damn near the exact same thing that Compaq did to IBM in regards to the IBM PC BIOS. Perhaps you should research some before you speak of things you know nothing about.
I just will not buy their products, becuase regardless of the Bullshit that Apple/Jobs PR puts out they are as bad/or worse than the RIAA in regards to their love of money above all else. It would be a different story if Apple didn't try to genereate the PR image that they where 'Different' well, they are and they are just a bunch of fsckig liers.
There is a very good chance that they system you are using would not exist if the DMCA had been in effect when Compaq reverse enginered the IBM PC BIOS.
Or are you saying that all x86 based system developers are jerks because they didn't license the IBM PC BIOS from IBM?
First, they don't have to use the DMCA, it is a choice. And second, a bad law is a bad law. Most of the thinks that oppresive goverments have done in human history has been done within the framework of the laws of said countries but that doesn't make what they did or those laws right.

Because right clicking and selecting BROWSE FOLDER would be TOO FUCKING HARD!
Damn, at least TRY to learn about something before you bitch about it.

Damn, I didn't know that BattleCrusier 3000 was coming out on a console! Which one, dr?
You make it sound like Microsoft Office never has any problems. Not to say that OO is better, but what is the running cost of keeping MS Office?
Said 'prehistoric' lawsuit is/was the basis for most of the entire past 20 years of computer growth.
And you need to read a little history, you are spouting off things you have HEARD, not things that you know.
And, genius, Firmware (thats a BIOS) IS SOFTWARE.
No, Woz was the hacker. Jobs was the thief.
The entire computer industry is based on the copying of others work. Please lookup the Compaq/IBM IBM PC BIOS RE case.
Only if you don't include all the other perks he gets.
Most of them where lawyers before they came to washington and most of them will still be lawyers when the leave.
/. that makes people make statements that they say are 100% true but they KNOW are made up bullshit?
What is it about
Bullshit.

Jobs has said it only makes .15 - .20 usd per song in profit after fees to the labels and hardware/software/people costs.
That is a 15% to 20% profit margin and that is nothing to sneeze at.

Please point out the law that requires a public corp to "defend IP to the GREATEST extent possible"

What type of computer system do you use?

It's the same thing. The RESULT may be different, but using the cover of an injust law is the same thing.
