Of course Apple wants their secrets back, its Apple. not as much of a secret anymore, but still.
These corporations cannot on one hand screech that it's a "free market" and that they "serve only their shareholders" when committing price gouging, mass layoffs without dire need, subsidizing their low pay with public welfare, and other such actions, and then turn around and demand protection from that very "free market" when it renders them obsolete. Can't have that one both ways.
Hollywood is scared of the market it been ripping off since the internet stole control from it? that makes sense, the known con man will flee while the unknown will stay.

No the Iphone isn't. It is King of the Fart App.
For your friends and family: get them macs. They will have a much harder time installing 53 flavors of solitaire filled with adware.
And when they want to play something that's Windows-only? what do you tell them? "sorry, get another computer"?
speaking of C&C4, why must EVERY F*ING THING BE FPS-LIKE! FPS games bring STUPID buttonmashing idiots and sailor-cringing kids. I'm staying back here with C&C3 and actual strategy, thanks much.
We are currently seeing a resurgent of measles cases in kids BECAUSE parents are not vaccinating their children due to idiotic, repeatedly proven false concerns for vaccines causing autism.
Fix'd.
Eventually.
