I think you might be missing the point.I'm not sure why you think that Gruber says or condones saying ["We pioneered that - how dare they!"] Gruber explicitly says that it is fair for Google to compete with Apple and to copy the iPhone. He

You can argue intent all you want (and btw no one has described the employee as a whistle-blower) However, as a matter of fact, Sprint's exaggeration (claiming that sales were around 3 times as much as they really were) was exposed by what

Today, an s-corp founder does benefit by being able to split his/her income between W2 wages and distributions (on which payroll taxes don't need to be paid). Besides increasing tax burden, this bill will also make the tax-filing process a

In the comments, I see criticism of Apple, defense of Apple, criticism of FSF (which was downvoted below zero), open source discussions etc. Strangely, I don't see any criticism of the app developer. The app developer signed an agreement wi
