It shows the intent of the company and the lack of morals. They are assholes. It's that simple.

so, when rational argument fails you, you just devolve to swearing and name-calling...

In my mind, it's criminal to attack this company. I'm not a lawyer of course, but if they failed once and, are trying again, it shows how aggressive they are. I feel the other company should be able to sue Apple for their aggression and obvious false claim. When something is as clearly false as apple's claim, then it really does fall into bullying, and again, in my mind, criminal activity. A serial corporate aggressor should be labelled criminal and I guess it's up to the other company to see if they feel it's worth suing to prove Apple are criminal or not, and I suspect with the sheer size of Apple, it probably won't happen. Oh, and I have no problem calling them out for how their behaving. They're bullying this company, they're groundless in their false claims, and yes, they are assholes for it. Calling a company out for this kind of behaviour is pretty normal. Look at reddit right now.

i suggest you familiarize yourself with the definition of "crime", and note that causing you personal offense is not part of that definition. And, since you have admitted that you're not a lawyer, I find it pretty galling that you nonetheless process to make unfounded legal claims as if you were.

I'd suggest you take a course in socialising and people skills. Your responses to everyone on this topic are out of hand.

I'm not sure if you have a condition, and if you do I'm sorry to hear. I very much recommend social interaction training. Currently, you're just coming across as an ass to everyone in this thread.

personal insults do not a valid argument make.

I'm not here to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy for their fallacious and fact-free arguments. and if people feel so outraged that I had the gall to contradict them, then I'm certainly not the one with a "condition*.
