Hi everyone, i've just been back from vacation (3 weeks disconnect from everything, no news no i-net no nothing...awesome) when i came back i saw that apple won the lawsuit against Samsung and Samsung has to pay the ammount of 1.000 millione US$ due to patent infringement? WTF? I ,personally owning the S3 which appel would love to ban from the market, (sincerly i hope they don't succeed, s3 is so much better then iphone) am worried how far apple will go to preserve their idea to get the monopoly on smartphones. Other question that bargles occupies my mind is why is apple so successfull? to much fanboys? or people with to much money? Discuss!
Hmm i wonder why its doing that......ARGHS NO STOP, ROLLBACK ROLLBACK...F*** That's how i learned to "Always Backup"!!

It copied the successful elements of "Religion". ..and there's a flight of capital going on. Now, if you took your money out of Spanish bonds, where would you reinvest it? Not in American bonds. Not in something barbaric as gold, as that does not yield income. No, it gets invested in the most-trustworthy looking stock. There's your rotten Apple :)

Bargles. What a great word. Apple are successful because they make products that people want to buy.

I am ready to be persecuted, hanged, stoned to death or skinned alive if it causes Apple to go bankrupt. Until then, I will happily bear the Wrath of the Univoter for my post And also, let's not forget that there are other people, not only followers and Arthur. Now, there's all the Apple haters here too (off the top of my head, PO'H comes to mind)

Thanks, and almost geographicly correct :D just some km away from Barcelona And yes i appologize, we here say 1.000 million, not billion.. sorry for that linguistic lapsus :P

:laugh: The "He's from Barcelona" is a quote from a 70s UK comedy called "Faulty Towers" - and it's not complementary about the IQ of Spanish waiters, which I why I didn't use it. Funny though, even if I can't watch a whole episode without chewing my own fist in embarrassment.

BEDEMIR: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEMIR: So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
BEDEMIR: Good!
CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...
BEDEMIR: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEMIR: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.
BEDEMIR: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No, no.
VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!
CROWD: The pond!
BEDEMIR: What also floats in water?
VILLAGER #1: Bread!
VILLAGER #2: Apples!
VILLAGER #3: Very small rocks!
VILLAGER #1: Cider!
VILLAGER #2: Great gravy!
