>should not be crushing small publishers by demanding 30% of all their revenues Apple has never demanded %30 of all of anyone's revenue. Apple has never crushed anybody small with their iTunes stores-- on the contrary, they've created a massive boom in small software publishing, and soon small book publishing. >suing all other phone manufacturers for some stupid UI element. All those phone manufacturers stole patented inventions. They cheated, and they deserve to pay. If you don't like the patent system, work to get it reformed... but I promise you you haven't thought out the consequences of that, and you wouldn't like the results. >The bigger their profit the more they come across as grossly petty and greedy. People like you have been hating on Apple for the past 3 decades. Always hating with lies and misrepresentations. Its not any different now that Apple is successful, only one thing is true-- Apple's success has proven your predictions wrong, year after year. Remember when you said the iPad was "just a bigger iPhone"? Remember when you said the iPhone would flop without a physical keyboard? Remember when you said the iPod was lame? Whose laughing now? Serioulsy, I'm tired of these ignorant apple bashing posts. HN is going to hell because its overrun with people who practice an ideology of socialism-- pro-google because its "Free" and anti-Apple because they actually innovate and have the audacity to charge for their products.
