What ever happened to Apple being the nice guys?

I saw some of the patents they're suing them over. One of them was for 'a method of unlocking a touchscreen device by performing a pre-determined action'. Seriously? How on earth did they even get that patent in the first place??

I despise Apple so much that I refuse to even eat one. I'm thinking of swearing off of fruit altogether, simply by association.

News flash, Apple was never nice. They were just as ruthless as M$ and maybe more so in the last few years. I mean seriously adding an auth chip to headphones so you can overcharge on your crappy headphones. I have an iTouch but only because it was a gift and I needed an mp3 player at the time. Once it dies I will support some one else. I refuse to buy an app or a song from itunes on reasons of general principal.

I agree with Oneslowz28 when was apple ever nice? They are like any other company. $40 headphones no thanks. But I must admit they turned my warranty claim around for my iPhone instore in under 1 hour by giving me a new one.

Oh yeah, just remembered something. Cables for iPods won't work with iPhones and vice versa. I still can't figure out any good reason for that except for raised profits (those cables are like $20 apiece and only about 2-3' long).

you sir are completely incorrect lol

I use the same cable for my iphone and the wife's ipod, they're all the exact same except for the shuffle, it connects through the headphone jack

I use my old 80gig ipod cable for my 2g itouch also and have a knock off deal extreme car charger for it thats like 3 years old also.

Something I'm glad I'm wrong about, lol. Didn't think they'd be that retarded, lol.
