- tick_tock_tick 5y agoThey probably mean the last month of shitty behavior that's been getting public attention........
- tablespoon 5y ago> An email chain from 2010 has an impact on what phone you want to buy? Why shouldn't it? It could reveal their true colors in starker terms than one has seen before. It's one thing to know, abstractly, that they're an amoral self-serving entity. It's quite another to see it demonstrated so openly.

- notJim 5y agoThis seems kind of silly. Every CEO of every major company has probably sent a similar if not far, far worse email. You really think Sundar Pichai's emails are all sunshine and flowers? Capitalism rewards ruthlessness.

You really think Sundar Pichai's emails are all sunshine and flowers? Capitalism rewards ruthlessness. You're missing my point. I'm sure Sundar Pichai has sent similar emails, but that fact is abstract and therefore remote. Jobs/Schiller sent these emails, but that fact isn't abstract, it's right here in our faces.
- lenkite 5y agoThe difference is that this is "evidence". Legions of Apple lovers in HN kept clamouring that Apple does these things for the "right" reasons only and never to deliberately harm competitors. Straight buy-in into Apple's propaganda. Now we have utterly clear and factual evidence showing that position is rubbish. There is a clear and desperate need for anti-trust regulation.
