Re:Right. Apple's a benign monopoly... (Score 1)

Uh, yah. Nobody picks on Apple because they are small. Would I care if the DOJ spent $20M pursuing an anti-trust case against a company the size of Apple? Damn straight. Against Microsoft, Ma Bell or Standard Oil? No problemo. A monopoly is defined legally by 7 outlining factors, among which is market share, nitwit . FYI, among the others are: * barriers to market entry-can we say "so how much can you buy my company for?"-Bill can) * detrimental to consumers in long term AND short term financial outlooks AND competition outlooks (Micro$oft seems to think choice is bad, for some reason. Not to mention their brilliant plan to charge people a yearly fee for Windows). I'd go on but I'm tired. The rest are in my notebook somewhere.
