Hello
I am an avid Apple creative, and I still love their products and services, and was wondering what you guys think about all the patent wars going on in today's technology world.
So a few questions I'm polling are:
- Do you agree Apple started these 'patent' wars when they introduced the iPhone?
- Do you feel Apple products are still the better ones, but still overpriced?
- What do you think about Apple sitting on an every increasing pile of cash?
- What do you feel about the money you spend on their products being used to hold massive lawsuits that cost a great deal of that money, that could have been spend on R&D?
- Do you believe these patent issues will be resolved - as in settled - or do you think it is yet another endless war?
I don't expect anyone to answer these questions, just to have a ponder about it.
After pondering these things, and knowing there's wars, famine and poverty in the world, Apple being wealthier than some of the African nations combined, and the recent examples that we as customers have an important vote that enables us to turn Apple's policies around (Solar Data Plant, Foxconn workers, etc)...
Would you subscribe to an online action that asks Apple nicely to stop spilling that money on lawyers and just use it for R&D and just lead by innovation rather than trying to choke the free market with patent wars?
Thank you for your time.
I look forward to your ideas and input.
Love
Julez
