Always keep your options open. Don't opionate yourself into a corner where other options become impossible. I honestly struggle to appreciate why intelligent people would sell themselves to a particular brand/company/platform, go to war about it, and deny themselves the most precious of all human priviledges: FREEDOM. The freedom to choose is precious. The freedom to select the best product for YOU is a precious PRIVILEDGE. Don't give it away to Google, Apple, Samsung, Whomever, and create for yourself the prison where you have to stay loyal to one side no matter what.

You taking about all the Anti Sony threads that was started by xbox fans when the hacks started or the anti Android ones about Skype on Android sharing the user details..... there is plenty on the forum, if you hang around you will always get them.
Granted scandals sells, and being a closed eco-system does create a breeding ground for sensational reporting, compared to a place where everything is open for the world to see, so you will find it less on Android vs Apple articles in the news.

So this student skipped the classes about copyright / patent / ip protection then, otherwise he'd make like Samsung and sue them.
On a slightly different note: Well done Apple for learning to be as ruthless as M$! One step closer to world domination!

I don't think that last statement is their intention, cost of hardware is proof

Its really simple for apple to steal people's applications from the istore. When a submission is made then they want the source code etc to make sure it doesnt do anything malicious or contravene their conditions. Do you really think that they will delete that code after they reject it?

And now Apple is in the news again for stealing a company's name, iCloud.
This is just after they sued Amazon for using the word "App Store".

Kingrob, Apple bought the name from the company that registered and legally owned the iCloud trademark. That is not stealing. That that other company used a trademark already registered by someone else says more about that other company than Apple. But you obviously prefer to have a go at Apple because that suits your agenda, despite the facts.
