> The guy isn't pursuing something competing with any Apple product, or even anything trying to sell back to Apple.
That isn't true.
"Williams boasted about starting a new company with technology that he was working on at Apple, that he believed Apple ‘needed’ and that he believed Apple would have no choice but to purchase.”"
> He's just going off and doing something else.
Also not true. He started the company to sell tech he developed at Apple, back to Apple.
- gmanley 7y agoI'm not sure why you are stating these things like they are facts. These are still just allegations that Apple has put forth. > He started the company to sell tech he developed at Apple, back to Apple. If this is so clear cut, Apple will have a lot easier time in court. On the contrary, this is exactly what Apple needs to prove in this case.

True, but even before these allegation it is also widely believe to be the case on HN [1]. I am not surprised not only because designing and selling chips is hard, but also because Apple has a history of acqui-hire startup with previous employees. Tim Cook mention they make nearly close to 1 acquisition per week, since the value is so small ( compare to Apple's cash holding ) they dont even need to disclose it.
