You are arguing against the nature of design patents While that may be a valid argument, all Apple can do is follow the laws that exist today. Not the laws as you wish them to be.
WTF Are you talking. Apple says if you want to sell our phone, you need to sell this many. If you can't sell this many, we will stick to other carriers. How is that "rape", how is it even wrong?
Well, since this expedition started, the company went from making money to losing money. Maybe he should sell it. Even at half price Amazon is one of the most overvalued stocks on the market.
The Broder story was BS. It has been pretty soundly refuted from Tesla and other reporters. I guess the people approving these stories don't actually read slashdot...
I can prove it. There are no smart-phones made in the United States. There are no personal computers where all of the components are made in the United States (A few are assembled here, but that is a game, all the real manufacturing is in Asia).
This seems like an important case of an AC calling an AC an AC. We need to study this further. We should also investigate what a sock puppet is in the context of a series of anonymous posts.
Skype and Lync are both annoying to close in Windows 7. Someone decided that IM software should not follow OS conventions for closing. I understand not closing when you close the contact list, but if I right-click and say close, close.
Are you sure it's valid? I am not sure you or the OP actually use Mountain Lion. Your example actually shows pretty clearly you don't. Anyone who actually uses OSX will know why.
MacPorts and Fink are no better or worse than any other package manager. You must be messing with something similar or you are a masochist. If you truly just hate package managers, you can build everything from source by hand on OSX, just like any other platform.
My OSX system never changes unless I want it to either. Maybe you are simply not skilled enough to manage a computer and you should stick with a more controlled environment like a tablet.

You have neve sold anything in the App store...
The iphone.....
It also means you have a specialized skill. I can not think of any professionals that do not spend money to keep their skills current.
Ignoring your funny blunder, you also apparently don't understand any of the facts in the story.

I think he was kind of stupid. He didn't know the earnings surge was built into the stock price before the announcement. That is stupid.
Look again, you misread the chart. Atari had the smallest marketshare by 84.
Priceless.
Not sure you read the summary. Read it again. The $1 billion worth of Bitcoins is more the entire currency stock of several small countries.
Apple sells unlocked phones..
Sure if you include the $4 to manufacture "smartphones" they sell in the third world. :)
You live in Bizzarro world. There are actually no apps that are "better" on Android. It is a technical impossibility.

Then you should not sign the contract with Apple. Period. The end. No one forces carriers to sell the iPhone.

I am always amused when people see FFM as a feature...
You can use export in preview to force a kind of save-as and save an unamed duplicate will bring up a save-as dialogue.
This could have been handled better. Some of the time-machine and icloud integrations have had some interface problems..

Your faith in repository integrity is touching.
