“It’s a shame so many other companies have ripped off Apple’s innovation in the mobile payment market. The audacity of them, to release stolen copies before Apple even finished thinking up the idea…”[/quote] -
This is just ridiculous. Patents need to die.

I feel like in the future, there will be no open-source… I mean, one day Apple’s just going to grab every open-source thing there is and patent it. Then people using Linux will get sued for not paying them for using it -.- Apple is just pathetic, that’s why I hate them.
Seriously though, they make it seem like if you don’t patent something, you don’t get to use it. Like if I decorate my house one way, and then someone else decorate it the same way and patents the design, oops I have to pay to keep my house the same. What gives…
But yea, all patents do is kill human ingenuity. You can’t invent something and publicize it just like that, because you risk being sued for treading upon someone’s patent, then you end up poor and ruined just because you made something that someone else couldn’t make.

I believe what Apple considers virtual currency and what we consider virtual currency are quite a bit different. I think we’re perfectly ok.

Apple wrecks my head, back in 98 or 99 when ever they launched the imac, the supplied usb ([color=red]Universal[/color] serial bus) extension cable had a fracking notch in it so you couldn’t use a non apple keyboard or other device with the cable, bastards.
