You know, I think everything that can be said has been said, twice, about companies suing Apple and Apple suing other companies. Maybe the moderators could do a public service by just posting an FAQ-style summary of the best of them instead of continuing to host redundant comments on these stories.

Do it yourself. You ask the Moderators to do it? Huh?
Nokia is required to charge everyone the same license fees but they want MORE from Apple. Apple agreed to pay what Nokia charges everyone else and Nokia refused.
Lol but doesn't Apple overcharge in just about everything they sell? Remember tge graphic card a few years ago? It was a $118 gpu selling at thevApple Store for $450.00.
Just saying and I like Apple products. Or how about $150.00 for a black paint job while the white all turned yellow? Man apple really knows how to make something seem like just a little more for the feature you really want and some misinformed consumers end up spending two grand walking inti the store thinking they were going to walk out with a $999 computer. (grin), see it happen all the time.

No.
A number of Apple products are very competitively priced. Where is the iPad equivalent for $499? Where is a competitive 27" AIO for $1799? Where is the 8 core Xeon system for $3299 from a reputable manufacturer?
For the rest of the products, when you compare equal quality, Apple products are not that far out of line. Sure, I know you can buy a cheap 17" laptop for under $1 K, but it's not even close to the quality of Apple's offerings. Add in service and support (where Apple is consistently #1) and the OS, and I personally don't think Apple's products are overpriced. Given that Apple's sales are growign faster than the rest of the industry, I don't think that your opinion is universal.
The biggest difference between Mac and PC users is that PC users look at the price. If unit b is $2 more than unit A, it's overpriced. Mac users look at what they get for their money and are willing to pay more if they get more.

How could I do that without permission to monitor and code the site?
Is that part of the 75% Adobe keeps harping on about?
Really?

It's all there in the analysis by Richard Wolfram, embedded in flash for you to view and read.
What are you talking about?
Nokia thinks a company has violated their patents, and is suing them.
Apple thinks a company has violated their patents, and is suing them.
Looks like a single standard to me.
Please explain?
Nokia sues Apple, Apple zealots go "Lol, Nokia must be jealous of Apple"
Apple sues HTC, Apple zealots go "Lol, HTC must be jealous of Apple"
Or
Nokia sues Apple, therefore Nokia is evil and greedy.
Apple Sues HTC, therefore HTC is evil and greedy.

Start a thread. The posting is trivial. The research is not.

You pretty much summed this site up in one post.
How many times do you need to be told?
