No teen/twenties or anyone else will pick OSX instead of Windows if he/she plays games. Which is exactly the target audience with bundling PC and Xbox360.
You tell people two simple things. Click the update button when the updates happen
How do you think that will work out? The bad guys will just craft their website to look like an update and the user will stupidly run it just like before.
That's fine, as long as you filter MY credit card number out of your random number generator, thank you very much.
Sure! Just post your credit card number here and everyone promises to filter it!
Except, Nokia previously agreed to license everyone ELSE (under RAND terms) those same patents Nokia accuses Apple of violating. The "ND" part stands for "non-discriminatory" which means Apple should pay the same price that everyone else. Not the same price AND patent licenses. It also means that all Apple has to do is pay the fees, and Nokia has to suck it up.
Except that Apple is not part of that and doesn't want to be, because that would mean they also would have to license their patents to everyone else at fair price. Apple can't just expect to get the good things (RAND terms) while avoiding the "bad" things (having to go by those RAND terms too).
