Yeah, and you can keep shaking your head and offering up the same pithy comment over and over again like it means something.
Yes it means a lot. But as I guessed, nothing to you. Don't worry!
I'll have to hope KDarling or someone has a link to it. Looking up anything about stolen patents and Apple at the moment brings you nothing more than a storm of Samsung vs. Blah links.
So Kdarling has a link to what you read? Fascinating. In any case, don't feel shy and post any links to what
you read about Apple.
In before "olol you're just making it things up to make Apple look bad".
That's what happens when you try to reply to a comment, quoting line by line without having read the entire comment at first.
I never said anything like that and I wasn't even close to something like that. I said you chose a very wrong example. I said that there are other credible examples where Apple can be portrayed as unethical or in monotonous terms - a 'bad' organization.
Well...yeah. That's kinda what people do. Specially when the article stated that Apple lifted dude guy whathisfaces' ideas for Time Machine and other features inherit in OSX. It was pretty damning in the sense that Apple isn't so different from the companies you lambast for doing the exact same thing.
Yet, you don't cite the article. Everyone picks up ideas and Apple is no different. If that's what you meant, I'd give it to you.
The only difference is how you embrace and implement the idea and add something to it to make it more innovative (add evolutionary or revolutionary they don't mean anything to me).
For e.g. cloud syncing was nothing new. Apple did it before Dropbox and Google Sync. Yet, Apple first major cloud sync offering sucked pretty bad infront of Dropbox/Google or any other player.
They did reinvent the wheel and created something new, efficient and innovative with iCloud.
Attempting condescension in an attempt to look smart rarely ever achieves the intended effect.
Actually 'NO'. If you think that way, I'm afraid, you've a pretty proud attitude for yourself. I wasn't being condescending. I was trying to correct you that 'one doesn't steal patents'. One only 'infringes on them'. You don't seem to appreciate the learning aspect and instead twist in a negative way. If somebody tries to correct you and tell you, you were wrong, you simply would take that as someone acting superior or condescending. No wonder you have such attitude which is so obvious in your posts.
I also think it's funny how in Apple's situation, you immediately assume an honest mistake, yet you've shown yourself in the past to be one of those incredibly loud people who scream about "blatantly stolen ideas" any time anyone else comes out with something similar to something Apple has done before.
Again, you simply don't want to understand. People copy ideas, people 'steal' ideas. But one cannot steal patents. In fact, Kdarling was himself once corrected me on this 'stealing/infringing' argument and I'm sure (if I or you can find my reply), I was humble and said "Thanks. I'll keep in mind."
Bias, favoritism, and how it colors opinions is something every grown up should understand. Right?
I don't know what you're raging about. But I'm not surprised.
Another piece of absolute rubbish, which has got nothing to do with my comment whatsoever.
