When has apple ever been the first to do anything? Christ, they even stole the idea of abusing the patent system from Edison.

They never do, they just copy, patent, and sue. F*cking pathetic.

Companies are not persons. And all of them are doing it for the money. It's just that someone who is loser in the game always seems to be "not interested for the money, just for the love of tech and users".

Time to wake up, guys.

"Companies are not persons" I though they are now. Aren't they, don't they have rights now too?

Capitalism is a system that supports companies and other infrastructural institutions that play the role of a machine, and therefore a human person is not relevant, only a system resource just like trees and oil. However it's still fact that companies are not persons, so we cannot treat them as "evil" or "good". Their choice of politics is not choice of one person nor it is reducable to sum of all persons involved, although media and mass perception always tend to project human behaviour to something non-human.

For instance, Samsung is a mega-corporation that is run by greedy rich family deeply structured as mafia, however this is not how Samsung is presented. Rather we think that Samsung is a good guy that develops technology for us so we can have ever more pleasant lives. On the other side, Apple is a greedy monster that only want to punish others.

This antropomorphization process we must abandon in our minds, and realize it's all about the Machine.

Corporations have a lobbied there way to have the same rights of people. That's fine understand that companies do things for money but, there should be standards. I believe that Apple crosses those standards therefore, I dislike them. Misleading and taking advantage of people and the system for your own gain is always wrong no matter what but, it also happens to be a great way to make money. By nature Corporations may make unethical decisions to make money but, that does not mean that I have like them and think "Oh, it's fine because, they're just doing it for the money". I'm awake, are you?
