Will Consumers Still Love An Aggressive Apple?
,----[ Quote ]
| The notion of Apple as a ruthless
| competitor in the technology marketplace
| isn't well established in the minds of
| consumers, but some industry watchers say
| that could change if the company's recent
| behavior continues.
|
| Apple is engaged in conflict on multiple
| fronts: Google, Adobe, HTC, Ellen Degeneres
| and the tech blog Gizmodo have all felt its
| wrath in recent weeks. U.S. regulators are
| reportedly considering launching a full
| blown antitrust investigation into Apple's
| iPhone developer licensing tactics.

Chinese workers link sickness to n-hexane and Apple iPhone screens
,----[ Quote ]
| She is one of scores of young workers in
| the city of Suzhou who were poisoned by the
| chemical n-hexane, which they say was used
| to clean Apple components including iPhone
| touch screens.
|
| Wu Mei â who, like the others, asked the
| Guardian to use her nickname â recalled her
| fear as her health suddenly deteriorated
| last spring.

Nokia, Apple Ratchet Up the Patent Madness

The Appalling Reaction to the Apple iPhone Leak
,----[ Quote ]
| Instead, fearful of being blackballed and
| missing the big story, and afraid of being
| swarm attacked by the legions of Apple
| fanatics who act as unpaid flacks to anyone
| who dares to challenge the perfection of
| the company or the divinity of its founder
| -- and most of all, not having the muscle
| of the old-time media empires -- today's
| press largely has turned into the company's
| full-time lapdog and lickspittle. Some
| well-known reporters have built entire
| careers out of being Apple promoters -- and
| thus being given insider access.
|
| The latest word is that Chen and Gizmodo
| have lawyered up and are considering suing
| the police. Good. And they should go after
| REACT as well, to the point that it is
| disbanded and replaced by another entity
| that isn't a tool of big corporations.
|
| Meanwhile, those Apple fanatics out there
| (including a few big-name bloggers) that
| are defending this assault on liberty
| should be deeply ashamed of themselves for
| being willing to trade the First Amendment
| for a few cool techno-baubles.

Nokia takes Apple to court, again
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia, not content with the pair of
| existing patent actions in Delaware, has
| filed another action for five patent
| infringements. This time it's in Wisconsin,
| presumably for variety.

Apple spurs an antitrust investigation
,----[ Quote ]
| According to the New York Post, The U.S.
| Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade
| Commission (FTC) are negotiating which of them
| will launch an inquiry into a clause in the
| iPhone OS 4 SDK that bans the porting of
| software originally written for Adobe's Flash,
| Sun's Java or Microsoft's Silverlight/Mono to
| the iPhone OS.
