Can you try to contain your jealousy of their success just a little? Thanks!

There are several problems here, but Apple no doubt is projecting a bit; Apple tried to extort with ridiculously-high fees to use it’s ‘IP,’ and the company expected Moto to exhibit Apple’s arrogant, evil behavior. Apple didn’t even try to negotiate. Rather, Apple, like any bully, is a coward at heart, and tried to hide behind the court system. Then again, Apple has good reason to fear fair competition. Over the decades, they have only been just barely able to survive and, as has happened sadly throughout history, too many people have said that their anticompetitive and illegal behavior is not an issue because they only have a small market share. Now look what has happened. By applying the same business practices that they always have, they have become full-blown terrorists to the industry. At least part of the legal system is waking up to Apple’s gaming. Now, if we could only wake up the USPTO with a bucket of icewater!

Apple and MS avoid taxes. Yes. So does Google. Funny how you leave them out.

I am wondering if you could be *more* biased in your comments?

Then you talk about Apple taxing Android… which is just nonsense. Complete and utter insanity. You are, again, being dishonest.

Then as if to prove how insanely dishonest you are you refer to Groklaw as “fairly objective”. Really? Since when? That is like saying Rush Limbaugh or Michael Moore are unbiased in their reports. Just insane.

I would love to see cease your dishonesty and extreme bias on these issues.
