Apple is fundamentally altering the technology industry by being aggressively litigious. The statutory precedents they've established are going to change they way computers and software are designed and developed at the ground level, often making it harder for companies with fewer resources. I hope they don't sue themselves in to a corner by ultimately staggering future innovation. Sometimes you don't need to re-invent the wheel.

- Herring 14y agoThings are rarely ever clear when an entire nation digs itself into a hole. I'm reading about recent riots all over China about some islands that Japan claims to own. If China was a democracy, they might not have been able to avoid going to war.
- jheriko 14y agodon't worry - apple can't fundamentally change the industry... i think the precedents they are setting are mostly worthless and the fact that they are allowed to get away with this kind of behaviour is only temporary. people are both smart and intolerant - it won't be tolerated for too long before apple find themselves being punished for being dicks about this...
