I actually read TFA and it said they lost $6B due to a bad acquisition and that's why the quarterly profits were where they were.

Pretty sure that they were linux trolls.

Hate to say it, but Nokia was going to die anyway.

Nokia was a giant in the cell industry but has been slipping lately.

Man, it is hard to make some people happy. Here's one of the more successful game companies trying to make a serious effort to bring better games to Linux, and after 8 comments, there are 6 complaints about it.

It's not cool any more to own Apple products. None of them. I mean, they might be fine for whatever reason you might have for owning an iPhone, but it's important that you realize it is no longer cool. In fact, it is very specifically not cool to own Apple products or to support a company that calls the fucking Secret Service when the whole thing could have been easily handled if they'd just responded to the guy's inquiry about whether or not it was OK to do what he was doing. Think about this: the guy contacts Apple and explains his project because he's not looking for trouble and Apple calls the Secret Service (!) as if the guy had just expressed his plans to assassinate the President. I'm trying to figure out a way Apple could have been more dickish about this besides sending a team of chubby Genius Bar neckbeards to rape and murder the guy's family.

Apple is becoming the shit company to end all shit companies. Their list of anti-social, anti-competitive, anti-consumer and anti-freedom behaviors is growing, it seems, every single day. I understand that some of you already own Apple products and don't have much choice at this point, but unfortunately you're going to have to accept that Apple's behavior is going to rub off on you. Maybe you can buy some nondescript case that will obscure the brand of your device until you can afford to replace it with something that won't make you look like such a huge douchebag for supporting a company like Apple. I really feel for you, but it's not like there weren't signs last year when you bought that iPad 2 and signed the contract. Now you'll just have to live with the consequences of your willingness to ignore those signs. Plus, Apple stuff is so 2006.

But anyone who goes out from here on and buys a new Apple product is not only really not cool, but is inviting douchebag classification.

Secret fucking Service. Unbelievable.

Please describe what abuse has occurred. Apple detected a computer intrusion at their stores. The software was being used to secretly record people and upload images to an outside server. Apple reported it to the authorities who happen to be the Secret Service. The Secret Service investigated. They questioned the individual and confiscated his computers. Please tell me how any of this is abusing the law.

I really dislike when corporations decide to abuse the law like this. It makes my view of Apple even more cynical. And I've bought precisely three Apple products in my lifetime and that will be ALL I buy. For example, when I was in the market for a new phone I eschewed the iPhone, not for it's alleged technical superiority - but for the fact you can't EASILY replace the battery and you have to use the craptastic dock connector as opposed to mine USB on the Android phones.

And I'll be in the market for a new PC soon. I can tell you it definitely won't be an Apple product.

you are kind of a dick if you transgress against people by taking unauthorized pictures of them
