What I would like to see from all governments is the courage to call Cook and Apple on farming out production to the East and paying them a subsistence income, if that, in slave labour working conditions. Unless that is changed I can't buy Apple products as I refuse to be complicit. Have a look at this documentary: www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/m/episodes/apples-broken-promises . 

Sigh. Yet another rabid CBC 'viewer', presenting a biased CBC 'documentary' as something that represents balance and truth, all while typing on a device most certainly made in China - a country that almost every Canadian and US company does business with, many while turning a blind eye. Sad. At least the CBC is using Apple to gain viewers attention and advertising dollars. But what is your excuse for remaining uniformed about Apple's attempts to improve working conditions in China Ms Hudgins?

Rather than blaming Apple for providing a distraction for one particularly careless driver, perhaps they would get more closure by launching a public information campaign about the dangers of using ANY mobile device while driving.  To think that most of these tragic cases involving phone use while driving - almost always young drivers - could be prevented by education and perhaps a law is very distressing.  That could have been anyone's kid. It is up to 'us', not Apple to keep our kids safe.

I think the concentric circles work better than having "I work for the largest company in the world and all I got was this lousy T shirt".

Nice but where is my new Mac Pro?

So if they can't decide on the value of design in driving phone sales, then reduce the amount to 150 million or whatever Samsung is arguing BUT increase the amount for willful infringement to 10X the amount of the award. 1.5 billion sounds more right. Samsung thought they could rip off the design BECAUSE this was a gray area and that there would be a 'fine' that they afford AND still make a lot of money. Total disregard for the intent of patents and US law. Now we see how they regard consumer safety with their phone that catches fire and intentional delays in a recall. They should be taught a lesson. A big lesson.
