[citation][nom]hoof_hearted[/nom]Seems Apple has this judge bought and paid for. I wonder what they are giving him behind the scenes?[/citation]
Someone doesn't need to be paid to make a seemingly bad decision. Maybe the judge decided in favor of Apple without monetary incentive. Of course maybe not, but we shouldn't assume one way or the other without actual evidence supporting the claim.
Moving on, why is it that Apple thinks they can just screw everyone over for their own goals? Apple is a large company, not some school yard bully, they should act in accordance. Of course, when "in accordance" to acting like most other large companies means what it now implies, then they should act better than the other large companies instead of trying to out-do them for the most unethical business practices award.
I find it very humorous that the actions of most companies are easily compared to the petty crap like school bullying. We know that such bullying is wrong and do stuff about it, but once it's blown even further out of proportion, it's simply allowed by our corrupt legal systems? I don't know about you guys, but it's usally the petty stuff that is ignored in kids and the big problems that go punished instead of punishing the most petty and insignificant things whilst letting the worst offender get away without even a slap on the wrist.
