Apple has revolutionized the way we listen to music, store files, and redefined portable. In each case competitors quickly went to the drawing board to create something similar. The design MUST be unique enough to be called your own work. Your post sounds like you believe just because apple has gained enough profits to your definition that suddenly they should be held to a different standard, allowing anyone to infringe and copy their noble ideas. This is a capitalistic driven country! If you made a successful invention would YOU want people to declare you've made enough so you should allow others to make money copying Your idea...? I say, enough of your whimpers! Go invent something revolutionizing on your own!

I am exceedingly disappointed in tech republic in the way it has tried to paint a horrible agenda against Apple. I may be ready to unsubscribe from TR after reading this garbage.
