I’m really pissed off with Apple. It’s one thing for Microsoft to corrupt and sue businesses into oblivion, but Apple? The “greener” pasture? The one who wants to strangle the mobile computing industry and be the sole distributor of content and software alike?
In hindsight it’s little wonder they’ve sued HTC, claiming infringement on everything from CPU throttling to drawing gradients. HTC being the largest dealer in open handsets, this suit is a square attack on the Android mobile OS. Unlike Microsoft’s relentless FUD attack on Linux, Apple has actually rallied its lawyers and stuck its money behind its effort into quashing its competitors.
The system needs an overhaul to prevent massive corporations bullying the rest of the world (and unfortunately it’s not looking good). This kind of stuff is indecent, despicable, and utterly wrong. Shame on Apple.
