Basically, If you own an "iDevice" Apple will soon have the Right to disable your camera if you are in an area where protests are taking place
I do not like the technology or its application, but let's at least be clear about what the patent does and does not do. The patent has absolutely no bearing on what Apple can and can't do vis-a-vis consumers' devices. The patent actually makes it so that Apple can sue other companies if they use this horrible anti-freedom technology without paying a fee to Apple for the privilege of so doing. This makes it tougher for those companies to make anti-freedom devices.
IMO, Apple is a dying company
-Snip- On August 20, 2012, Apple's valuation was the highest ever recorded for a publicly traded company.
-Snip- Apple has a long, long way to go before they run out of juice.
I will never disagree with charts, Correct on the Apple company status.
Where my sense of "apple is dying" is coming from, Is that the world is slowly waking up the how big the "iOS bubble" is, And that apple (i feel) is trying to keep people inside that bubble, When we dont even use Apple products.
And they make Pissant lawsuits over Look and Feel? Im suuuurrre the trial just Had to be held in silicone valley, <10miles from Apple HQ!
LOOK AND FEEL, Guys fucking c'mon, I'll sue you and all your Monitors for having a simmilar look and feel as my companies
And your TV's
And your microwave ovens!
