Cops don't shoot unarmed rich white guys. Hell, rich white guys can take up arms against the government and the right will call them patriots. Imagine if a black man did what Bundy did. Talk radio would be calling for a military strike.
I'd hardly call Al Bundy a rich, white guy.
I assume you mean generic programming on Windows is easier in C#. Although debatable on Windows, it's less so on some platforms and impossible on others.
All the languages that have truly had longevity have also been generally available on numerous platforms (i.e. not just Windows and Mac).
Apple filed a patent lawsuit against HTC in 2010, and Samsung in 2011. According to Wikipedia, are the only two patent lawsuits Apple has ever filed in the entire history of the company.
Let's hear it for Wikipedia. The complete and unabridged source of all human knowledge.

Ode to the Spell Checker
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
