I agree with that analysis, and it's a deeply troubling aspect of Apple that seems buried deep down in its DNA. For instance, Apple is clearly not satisfied with the normal provider supply-chain and prefers to assimilate what it can get away with. This is why I am rooting for Samsung, they may let themselves get inspired, but they have a wonderful "let's throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks" attitude, giving people a choice rather than treating people as sheep. Apple now going after the Galaxy S3 (my current phone, and very different than the iPhone) is just ridiculousness. I propose we put all lawyers on some remote island and raise a contamination zone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
