Jean-Louis Gassee doesn't know who an iPad is for, and thinks you don't either
JLG has totally lost his mind as the iPad rules the tablet market today. They are relatively inexpensive and very powerful.
The iPad rules the tablet market today. (Education, Medical practice, Information Technology, Television and News).
It's sad to hear this from the Be Inc CEO and maker of the eVilla.
Many years ago, JLG's Be Inc worked with Sony to produce the eVilla.
Sony had to buy back the few units that were sold as it was a total failure.

US DOJ prepping antitrust case against Apple
Tile has no case; they need to innovate their own products and compete.The DOJ will likely not bring the antitrust because they would lose and waste tax payer money. -
Apple's chips targeted in a new patent infringement suit
22july2013 said:There is nothing illegal with any company that "exhibits patent-troll like behaviour." Designating them with the demeaning word "trolls" shows bias. In a free market there are many speculative ways to make money, and obtaining patents and testing them in court is a legal and valid way to make money. Apple itself probably buys patents by buying companies that own patents, which is also a form of speculating in the patent trade. It's actually smart behaviour. I've never seen AppleInsider criticize Apple for buying companies with patents, for the patents. What's the difference? Why the double standard?
When Apple bought 17,000 patents from Intel two years ago, AppleInsider didn't call Apple a "troll" but rather suggested it was smart of Apple to purchase them.

There is no double standard.
The difference is that Apple makes products with its patents, It does not buy them just to litigate.
The term is well defined as shown below and if the term fits a company then it should be used to describe the company.
pat·ent troll
noun
DEROGATORY•INFORMAL
a company that obtains the rights to one or more patents in order to profit by means of licensing or litigation, rather than by producing its own goods or services.- "patent trolls are quashing the next, nascent wave of tech innovation"
