I'm not worried about SOPA creating censorship, that will not stand for long. I'm worried that they'll succeed in stopping piracy!

And Google would erase all of the news stories and shut down papers that didn't comply in taking down the stories, and then kill all the employees.

Shiny gear with one button can't take over the world

No! Because you can never use Twitter/YouTube/Google Document/Facebook and many other services in P.R.C.

Good sir, I am offended. Associating Toshiba with Apple... Tsk tsk tsk...

I hate apple for 5 reasons:

1. their prices

2. their prices

3. their hardware

4. their prices

5. their hardware

And yes, I think the'll take over the whole world. Probably by saying that we violate their precious copyright every day when we say: "I have an apple for lunch."

Lol. They won't do that, will they ? D:

I think Apple can be compared to TI in a lot of ways. Apple created the iphone (note that I don't put any caps) and it was copied. But the iphone is blocked in many ways.
TI "created" calcs and Casio copied, let's say, even if not very true. But TI blocks a lot of things, too. I don't even know why. Their purpose is not to sell, or to please ? because Apple doesn't please me and did not sell me anything.

Here is what one of my teacher said:
"Before, products were created to answer to a need.
Now, they (read: Apple) want to create the need so you buy".

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

What's wrong with the hardware? I think Apple is one of the best quality companies in the WORLD.
