Apple. You reap what you sow. Maybe you'll learn your lesson, but I doubt it.

So you're saying the company shouldn't hire the people it thinks are best for the job? That technical skills, which can be objectively measured*, should be discounted in favour of suspicion due to someone's place of residence and/or cultural upbringing?

There are always cultural differences to deal with. Imagine moving to a country where the left hand is considered to be for, uh, personal sanitary activities only - if you're staying for one or two years, would your behaviour change? Would it become a subconscious change? Would it become a permanent change? What about a country where it's illegal to spit out chewing gum in a public place? Or illegal to consume alcohol? Or illegal to, as a woman, dress as you please?


* Not necessarily an accurate representation of someone's ability, but the measurement can be made in a standardised manner that minimises subjectivity.

Chinese tech employees in the Bay Area are spies.

They birdied the lead.  This group is owned by SoftBank.  SoftBank is the company that pledged to invest 10 billion in US tech development.  They have their hands buried in tech and this screams ANTITRUST VIOLATION.  Let’s buy up all the patents we can to sue as many tech firms as possible, to get money from each item they produce.  I have a feeling SoftBank knows exactly what is going on.  This needs investigated thoroughly.  

Don't forget that Softbank also owns ARM. I dread to think what would happen to APPL stock if Softbank revoked Apple's ARM Licenses.

laws should be if either you or company is innovator so entitled to protect your intellectual property. But, if you are a investor or a group who buy and sell patents than they are considered product/item(not IP) owner so can not sue others for infringement. What about cross licensing and a company wants to buy patent/s from someone or a company. It is complicated but somehow such patent brokers must be stopped suing genuine product developing companies.
