I hope this is not the end of apples woes.

Also i would never touch any apple product with a stick with brown smelly stuff on it.
Hey tig how are you buddy, i kind of agree actually, even tho i use and like apple gear[just not the prices haha]

yep it doesnt make them look like the nice "family" computer supplier anymore does it, more like a bunch of bullies, especially when the ipad sales are dominating, it was not even necessary was it? to sue samsung.

As ye sow, so ye shall reap i say!!

Seriously, what's with all the Microsoft hate? The fact of the matter is, they do a damn good job of what they do. People say Windows is too expensive, but until Snow Leopard was released Apple charged the same as Microsoft.

The Xbox 360 is a damn fine piece of hardware and the fact that Microsoft sold it at a loss (despite having to shorten the development cycle after nVIDIA refused to make any more GPUs for the original Xbox) was a decent thing for them to do. I just wish Apple would take a leaf out of Microsoft's book on occasion and sell their products at a loss to begin with; not like it would hurt their pocketbook to do it.

As if apple would do that, greedy feckers, they don't care a jot for customer satisfaction or any such crap, they just want your money.

So does EVERY SINGLE other corporation on the market. That's a terrible reason to dislike a company.

Obvious troll is obvious. Have you even used an iPad/iPhone? Do you realize they are among the top dogs in their field for damn good reasons? And that if you want an equal phone`/tablet you have to pay just as much money? And "blatantly better"? WTF does that even mean?

This pointless Apple/MS hate (and using the term M$ is childish) has gone way too far lately.
