Interesting. So one person sees the right wing de-emphasizing the "freedoms from" and another sees the left-wing taking away "freedoms of". I guess we need a middle wing that attempts to preserve as much liberty as poss

It is incredibly un-Apple. But its like when you're on the freeway and see billboard for your favorite restaurant 40 miles away. It gives you the motivation to not settle for something else. It might work.

Apple is not the same company and should not be expected to act like the company they were when Steve Jobs returned. Their market cap is over $700 Billion. They were never going to continue their growth by offering one phone, one tablet, an

As strange it may seem, a portion of people/corporations are always pro-privatization and anti-nationalization. This helps explain why there is an anti-net-neutrality faction. It's not just because people don't understand. A
