when ur on top everyone wants a piece of you eh?

poor zapmadia, after years of itunes success they finally realized that one of the biggest online music purchasing software was using their idea all along.

i could imagine how zapmedia wudve dominated if apple wasnt around. they probably had created their own ipods ready to sell and to rock n roll until they were beaten to it by apple

Ohhhhh, the bitter truth dj! The US will stomp and crush any pathetic country that stands in our way. Its a known fact. Its as you said, also a known fact of many many people beg to live here. God how I love the envy masked as pity towards the US. I piss on you all, you filthy foreigners!

oh and to the guy who said america sucks, what other country can you possibly compare us too? look inside our own borders? we might be arogant and stuck up and think our ish dont stink (and loud and vulgar and fat), but everyone wants to come here and dont think for a minute that isnt true. i could be completely wrong but id like you to show me a country ( and corresponding numbers) that has more legal and illegal immigrants come to it each year, id like to know where i could go and have a better life and a better chance at being some dumb average jackass and still make a million dollars. dont even try comparing use to some country the size of texas either, i dont want to hear it. keep talking like that and we’ll invade you next, looking for wmd;s, just because we want to, because you and all your neighboring countries couldnt stop us if you wanted. america is a bully, and maybe even a villan, but most americans like it that way. WE’RE THE ONES YOU RUN FROM NOT COME FOR.

apple sucks. until i can run every peice of software that i choose to run in the course of a week (im a dj/producer and also edit video, flash my phone, psp homebrew, etc etc) it will always suck. until i can build my own mac and install leopard/tiger on everything i want it sucks. they, just like ms, have been sued many a time, its there idea that there so big they will steal a copyright and just pay for it later. really, who can compare a company that makes software to a company that make computers and software (ms compared to apple) unless your comparing the macbook pro (which is a gorgeous peice of tech) to the xbox360 (best gaming console out). i totally agree with who ever said f apple and f sony, they are the same forcing there own one off uncompatible bs on people. how is it so hard for you fools to believe that apple stole this? they stole the interface from creative and they stole the click wheel from another company and will lose both of those law suits. when will you all relieze that bill and steve are really the same person and they crap on us both, apple people are just less computer savy and need more protection from the fecal matter (and have deeper pockets)?

I’m sure they won’t win anything. They don’t have enough money to win a courtcase against a giant like Apple with such a weak case. Even their website sucks and reeks of 90’s web design. It is ironic that their site is so poor considering that they refer to themselves as “hardcore netizens” and “creative geniuses” on their company information page. On their website it doesn’t even talk about their ‘work’, it just has an email address where you can contact them to ask about it.
0/10 for effort, I hope these douches lose a bunch of money in court.

The patent system should be changed.

ZapMedia applied for the patent in 1999, and they’re getting it now!!

Apple wasn’t even given the option to pay for the patent back in 1999 because it didn’t exist yet.

The system needs to be simple. It can’t possibly cover every new aspect in the digital revolution.

While at the same time, people should be rewarded for their ideas, not have to fight for them.

Nice to see Apple getting sued instead of Microsoft for a change. But the lawsuit will probably go nowhere and the only ones making money will be the lawyers.

As far as Vista is concerned, whether you like it or not, there are already more Vista systems in the world than all the MACs combined. Not bad for a ‘failure’ of an OS!

“US>EU in every respect…

LOL, OMG !! US

Man, where do you guys GET such an attitude from? You ever been past the corner store? Obviously you haven’t left the country before.

How do they actually get people to believe such crap, is it school that teaches you such tripe???? US is one of the most undesireable places to be on Earth these days, get with the program.

And yet, Americans get pissed when told they are arrogant, that’s ripe! Man, pull your head out of your ass and look around you for once, try looking at the horrors within your own borders for a change, that’s what everyone else is seeing.

US>EU in every respect other then the patent system. The patent system in US is equally bad to the EU system. This law suit is still a joke and is going to be crushed.

“Vista was a total bomb, XP was a long awaited update to the previous failed OS. Do you really have an argument?”

Complete bullsh1t!

XP was designed to replace Win2K which, at that time was the most desired OS MS had ever made. Due to piblic inacceptance of XP and refusal to adopt it, MS was forced to extend product support for 2K an additional 2 years. 2 years after XP was released people STARTED to adopt it, grudgingly. It was to date the most insecure, unstable and botched OS release from MS (even when compared to Windows ME). When XP was released, everyone stuck with Win2K and said they were going to skip XP and wait for Longhorn (now renamed Vista).

When Vista came out, it was more secure than XP when releases, was more stable than when XP was released and more relable as an OS. XP had a horrible HCL that was forcign major corporations to spend millions in hardware, the IT staff were worked to the bone after hours patching it etc.

In essence, your comments were 100% unqualified, utter and complete crap. Not a single supportable statement made. Have a seat.

OH NOES John, M$ did something spectacularly good? Is William III leaving most of his cash to AIDS research and other charities when he dies? Is Apple doing the same? Eh… no? Apple fanboys to the rescue!!

oh yeah, well microsoft in fact did a very cool thing. they’ve donated half of their asset for the research of aids… and this they’ve done to get a distance between them and the hypocritical high society…
