Never Bought Anything From Apple Myself and I Agree!
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, September 03 2012 @ 06:41 AM EDT
The link he gives is from this web site and although this link is to a different article, it is very Pro Apple. Jean-Louis Gassée is a former Apple employee. Who started BeOS in the early nineties. He's the reason Apple thinks they can claim anything good coming out of BeOS, belongs to them (anything good period). Like NeXT Computer it was started by former Apple employees. It was the developers in the BeOS project that coined the term "App" in the first place. Later being adopted by Sun Java developers. That's why App Store should have rightly been left as a generic term.

Anyway.... the whole story behind the link (can be found on the page), was to make out like the same old "DoubleSpeak" propaganda (gobbledygook) we've heard for ages. Apple doesn't invent anything just makes them better before anyone else does. About how for 30yrs companies tried to make tablet PC, then Apple comes along and makes it magically just happens better with their Midas iTouch.

It's all a bunch of hogwash put out bu Apple's Orwellian Proles (shills). Who've been pumped full of too much iKoolaid they go around continually about to POP. If Apple takes an idea and makes it work. They aren't copying it or stealing it. It's a magical Apple process, where it just "IS" or at least will just "APPEAR"!

But.... by the same token... using Proper Applewellian DoubleSpeak Logic, if another company comes out and takes an idea and does the same (even if they do this before Apple), that's stealing or copying Apple. Because Apple would have illogically used their Magical and Illusionary Innovational Genius to just make it "APPEAR" as if from the iGods... it just "IS WHAT IT IS" (a Steve Jobs's Ism). As it's all taken from Zen or the book "Being There" (which he wrote in an out of body experience)! (sarcasm)
