    Apples cost structure is not setup to sell low margin products so if they will lower the price it will drastly harm their stock price.

    Because someone will come up with a new mp3 player that is better and less expensive than the ipod in the next 1-2 years and apple will have blown it again.

    If apple didn't bill itself as a 'enlightened' company that things would be different. But the do say they are different but when it comes down to it they aren't.

    The fact that you are willing to defend their lies just shows how much of a blind fanboy you are.

    (Fuckit, if I am going to be mod bombed as a troll then I will give them a reason to mod me down.)

    That almost always happens. The SEC 'enforcement' of insider trading laws is a fucking joke.

    Why I typed wasn't hate speech.

    What follows is hate speech.

    Peple like you who are to fucking stupid to understand basic English should be shot and left to die.

    THAT is hate speech.

    They ability to buy a damn near limitless string of lawyers is the threat that apple is making.

    No, this is like baning all written, verbal, and TV/Video descriptions of shop lifting.

    This is the samething as the USA parking an aircraft carrier off a country then making a 'request' they do something. While it is a 'simple request' it is backed up by a Nuclear armed air wing and an entire carrier battle group.

    Apple has a lot more resouces than most people and can make good on their threats.

    How about this?

    Apple lives up to the bs the have been saying for 10+ fucking years about how they are totally different than other large companies.

    Damn it, you HC apple supporters are just like the Bush|Clinton HC supporters in that what every YOUR side does is OK but if the other side does it it is the WORST FUCKING THING in the world.

    Of course this will get mod bombed into hell soon like almost all posts about apple that do not proclaim apple the next best thing to God.

    Doesn't SAMBA take away Microsoft and their partner companies golden goose? What about Linux and Unix?

    Apple should improve their protection, not try to hide the fact that it is fucked up.

    PS. So much for Apple being different than other companies.

  20. Re:They don't pay taxes. on Florida Ponders Communication Tax on LANs · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was talking about the goverment orgs pushing for the taxes not paying taxes. I was not talking about the people that work in goverment.

    For example the USPS doesn't have to pay gas tax nor do they have to register their govermental vehicles. I also think they are exempt from all property taxes.
