| schestowitz | Apple's Jobs was not an "evil" person. There were far worse people out there. Some people here mistook my provocation of the troll (deliberate) with disregard for life. | Oct 06 01:10 |
| schestowitz | If Apple cares for ethics, it will undo the direction it took. Based on a 2009 war of words with Palm, it was Cook (Apple's current CEO) who came up with the idea of patent aggression, but it's hard to tell for sure. | Oct 06 01:10 |
| schestowitz | If Apple competes with Linux without dealing punches under the belt, it will lose. But to be fair to Jobs, he did an OK job until several years ago. Rather than soften he/his company went M.A.D. It only alienated many potential customs -- ones who will never become Apple cult members. | Oct 06 01:10 |

| schestowitz | Over the years we saw Microsoft embracing things to extinguish them. Among them: open source and "cloud".
