It looks like everybody is missing the point. Every one is talking about price fixing but that is not what the law suit is about. It is about collusion. Anybody upstream in the publishing business can legally fix the price of a book. The author can tell the publisher, the publisher can tell...

Who cares what the price of e-books are! Buy the paper books if price is the only thing that brings value. I like e-books and think they are worth a little more money for the convenience they bring to my life. The price of anything has very little to do with the cost of manufacturing. Paper...

flybriCongrats to him winning the award, but it'll be a much, much bigger deal when a true blogger (with no past journalism experience) wins the award. Let's be real -- based on his past experience, he's a journalist masquerading as a blogger. Journalist and blogger are not always mutually...

guruofchemWhen the historical basis for your company is tech ripped off from Xerox PARC, methinks you might want to be careful whom you tar with that particular brush... Apple was GIVEN, from PARC: 1. GUI with mouse. 2. Object oriented programming. 3. Ethernet. and they chose to ignore the last...

From what I have been reading around the net, it seems that Amazon receives 50% where Apple only receives 30% from the sale of an e-book, so Amazon is the greedy one. That e-books cost 85% as much to produce and sale as a hard copy and is worth more because it can be transported easier, so they...

Why do some people have to die before people will start to give them the respect they deserve?

xbeaterIf this is how business is done, I don't want to live in this world anymore. This is exactly how business has been done for over 100 year. Look at the patent law suits at the beginning of the auto and the airplane. This is the same. Eventually things will settle down.

DOSloverThank you judge for applying a little old fashioned commonsense. Where would we be if Daimler and Benz had done the some thing with the automobile that Apple is trying to do with the rest of its competitors. Clearly the idea of making money from sales and not legal action is not the...

Why did Android steal intellectual property? Why do androsheep blame everyone except Google for the crime? Will you trade in my Android so I can feel honest again? Why will Android never be as good as iOS? Why is the iPhone the best selling smart phone in the world? Why does Google have the...

I live between two great universities and the students are constantly saying how the other is lousy. Chevy or Ford, chocolate or vanilla, Marianne or Ginger. What is it that makes people that are normally very intelligent act so stupid when it come to rivalries?

It sound like no one on this comment page has ever received a patent for anything. Why make comments on things that you know absolutely nothing about?

iceman1992i thought android had overtaken iOS long ago?? iOS has had years to sell more copies than Android. The only area that Android can definitively say it is best is with current sales. If you have to say that one OS is THE BEST then it would have to be Blackberry...........or any other OS...
