- Tell me... are all apple employees as ignorant of what their company is
- doing, or do they keep you in the dark just so you can make a fool of
- yourself?
-
- Try reading the actual issues involved. You might be surprised to find out
- that Apple is still suing both HP and Microsoft, that Apple is preparing to
- appeal the decisions made to cause most of the claims to be dismissed, and
- that Apple has not changed its policies at all.
-
- But I guess reality doesn't much matter to an Apple employee, huh?
