Apple - The new bully boy?

Well said Growler. I resent being considered an "elitist" because I use and enjoy an iphone. (Listening to music right now and on coffee break). Hell we have a couple of members who develop for Apple ios (one making a rather ambitious u-boat sim). Anyway the truth is other companies like Google are hardly innocent as they were accused of ripping off Oracle for android:

Also are not as open source as they claim.

I like Google, and use a win 7 PC (though considered a Mac and still might get one) I just think it's silly to expect these companies to be paragons of virtue.
