>The author uses the phrase "from our experience," but I wonder what that experience actually is. At this point, it's not even anecdotal, because he doesn't supply the anecdote! Craig is a very well-known developer and author in the Mac and iPhone developer community and works at Iconfactory. They're one of the first companies that was addected when the Lodsys patent issue came to light. Even if you didn't know that, the very previous entry on his blog is an open letter to Apple about the problems his company is having with the patent issues. It's a little disingenuous to call someone out about omissions in a blog entry while taking zero effort to familiarize yourself with any of their work.

It seems perhaps as disingenuous to think that because you know a (very) little bit about the Lodsys issue that the anecdote that all of a products profits can be consumed is true even in this instance. After all, Apple has been standing up in defense of individual developers on this issue.

  This is not true. While this may be true in the future, Apple is not currently involved in the legal defense of companies involved in the Lodsys lawsuits and there is no timetable for which they will enter such an involvement.

It's a little disingenuous to... I know we're supposed to be civil and not say anything to anyone on here that we wouldn't say to their faces, but, well, but nothing. I'd say the following to your face. Fuck you. It's out of line to call someone calculating and not straightforward when you have no idea what their actual motivations are. Asshole. Karma be damned.
