I got kissed at Apple when they took over soundjam, killed its audio and visual plugin capability and made it into itunes.

  "Kissed"...?

    Not OP. Probably meant: "Kissed" => "pissed"

      Aha! That is not obvious to a British English speaker such as myself; in my language, "I got pissed" means "I became very drunk". The American usage, I suspect, evolved from our "pissed off".

        >> The American usage, I suspect, evolved from our "pissed off". Correct. Americans might say: "Watch out! The boss is pissed." which is the same as "Watch out! The boss is pissed off!" >> "I got pissed" means "I became very drunk" The American English usage is typically: "piss drunk" meaning "so intoxicated that the person might urinate on themself".
