i'm not going to bother reading all that junk you wrote. and i'll tell you why. i despise people who backpedal. and you sir(maam) have backpedaled.
I did not backpedal, as I'm sure anyone who read my posts, and your replies, realizes. A corporation is only one type of business.
So creating and selling something that did not exist before, which the public apparently wants to buy in quite large numbers (Those FOOLS! Can't they see they're being duped by the Man?), employing lots of people around the world and paying lots of taxes around the world which directly support a broad range of societal functions, is NOT a legitimate purpose in and of itself?
I never said Apple didn't serve any legitimate purpose. I never said customers were being duped into buying iPhones. Why do people feel the need to ignore, distort, or make things up?
Despite Apple (indirectly) charging too much for the phone, and despite the fact that people seem to want to defend Apple's huge profits, I still love my iPhone and Apple anyway.
