Hm, if it's not that big of a deal, Steve, then why is Apple asking for the name change in the first place? \
It's not that big of a deal, right Steve? Right?? Steve??? Not that big of a deal????? Hello?? Can anybody hear me??? Not that big of a deal Apple??? So why the fuss Apple???? Steve????? Can we say, "hypocrisy?" Apparently it is a big deal to Apple, so why belittle it Stevieboy? Steve??? It's a bid deal for Apple???? Right??????? Steve?????? You there?
No answer! Steve's iPhone must be down, out of commission, no bars, no signal, dropped call because the cellular carrier HE said Apple would chose and fit their needs was AT&T (Cingular).
Hey Einstein, changing the name is not that big of a deal. Keeping it is. Everyone got it, why not you?
Apple requested they change the name of their application iPodRip, which had been around since 2003.
I can see how the developer wanted to keep the name he's been using for years, but he really should have known better in the first place. I'm actually surprised Apple hadn't sent him cease and desist letters long before he ever created an iPhone version of his app. He's basically been a squatter since 2003 and now is being asked to move off their property.
Steve Jobs has really devolved into an asshole -- a fuckhead to the highest degree.
I really can't wait until there's a real competitor to Apple. Apple and Steve Jobs have become arrogant little pricks.
A preemptive fuck you to anyone that disagrees with me. Yes, that means *YOU*.
"devolved?" "have become?"
While I won't go as far as to say Jobs is "a fuckhead to the highest degree," I will say that Jobs has always been an "asshole" and "an arrogant little prick." Go to folklore.org and read the stories written by people who worked on the original Macintosh project and you'll see what I mean.

Well for one....there is no one competing on Apple's level. Name a company that provides the full hardware and software experience. Then offer such portable devices.
Apparently you have the proverbial "axe to grind".

You forget that there are two sides to the issue. If two guys are parked on the street talking to each other thus blocking the road. Someone would ask them to move off the road citing that it wouldn't be a big deal for them to do so. The fact that they are blocking the road is a a pretty big deal to the people that can't get by though.
Here Jobs is saying that changing the name of their app isn't a big deal. That doesn't mean that Apple protecting their trademarks isn't a big deal to Apple.
It is quite obvious that we mean Apple no harm with the use of the name iPodRip, or of the inclusion of trademarked items in our icons, and in fact I believe that we have been providing an excellent secondary service to Apple customers that has potentially caused you many repeat clients.
Were I SJ, I wouldn't probably be able to answer that...
Well the letter is really overly long and the author comes off as a bit fawning in parts. Maybe Jobs wanted to make a point about brevity and how to use it.
There is also a grammatical mistake here: "... customers that has potentially caused you many repeat clients ..."
Personally, I would never, ever, send an email to Steve Jobs that wasn't perfectly formed at the very least. He's lucky he got an answer at all.

How exactly does one "email steve"? How do you get his email address?
Try sjobs@apple.com If you do get a response, it may be from one of his henchmen.
More like "Change the name or I'll sue your ass."

While trying to be you usual smarta** and point out the obvious you got it all wrong again
"Change the name or I'll sue your ass" is what the lawyer's letter had already said.

Duh? And lawyer's usually work for and represent who?
Answer: Clients- and in this case Apple.

Did Steve Job's personally piss in your cheerios© this morning?

I remember noticing it in the cited topic of the firewire port, it was steve@apple.com.

His e-mail address is actually steve@apple.com... Sometimes he'll reply...

Now I am beginning to understand.
You've gotten the same letter before, i.e.,
Change your name. Not that big of a deal.

Nor would you probably ever look him directly into his eyes if you ever saw him as he's your supreme being.
