I don't follow Apple very much (not my cup of tea), but it seems to me
that Apple has flipped (or at least its leaders). They seem to be sueing
everyone. I wonder if they are going to sue themselves? Does it look to
some of the rest of you like Apple may be a bit paranoid and is reacting
like a sacred child, wildly acusing and swinging at all within reach. I
like the Mac's operation as far as ease of use, but I discourage all my
clients from buying Apple since it is like a dead-end street with one
avenue of innovation and expansion (at LARGE prices), and really out of
the reach of some, and not sufficient for others. I like to see that
same ease of use in other, more competitive products. Actually,
competition is what makes the world much nicer.
Apple may have good reason for thinking that they can sue the world and
win. But it seems to me that if they want the courts to take them
seriously, and not as just a child throwing a tantrum at life, then they
would not go sueing everyone at once, making their case more and more far
fetched. I am not a lawyer, but a little common sense has come thru in
the past. Anybody else picking up on these ideas?
Mark Bailey.
