(again speaking on behalf of Apple)
First we are going after Nintendo for having the i in "Nintendo", that is a clear violation of our copyright.
We have repeatedly told them its no big deal to simply drop the i and be Nntendo, we think it has a nice ring to it.
Heck! We even suggested they use this as they slogan:
I have just been sent here by Apple to tell you to
cease and desist immediately.
We (Apple) may have a product in the future that uses the word icommon or icommon technology (also yet to be developed) and dont appreciate you violating one of our (yet to be) trademarks.
"While litigation appears to be an increasingly common cost of doing business," he concludes, "we view Apple's willingness to aggressively defend its patent portfolio favorably and welcome the defense of its IP."
I got blocked before because i admitted to using an ad-blocker.
When they "found out" that i had admitted it on their forum (a couple of months back) i got blocked, when i spoke to them they pointed me to the TOS, honestly with the amount of tech sites and forums most of us techies visit, who the heck has time to read all their TOS?
I dont even read all the BS that I have to agree to when i am installing/reinstalling my OS or even updates.
At first we lurked around here for ages, then finally signed up to comment.. and we noticed we started visiting you more than Wired and "others" (as well as linking to your articles more) and without even realizing it you have jumped into our favourites and most visited sites... and now with this article you are pretty much our favorite site.
Like I said, damn you and TD for doing such a good job!
And in other news UK Consumer Watchdog Says
the sky is blue
(except when its gray)
also grass is green
(except when its not)
and the RIAA are a bunch of low life scummy two faced own parent pimping bestiality and incest loving bastards
(ok, that last part was said by me not the consumer watchdogs.)
Thats it!
The next time I want to insult someone instead of calling them stupid, dumb, moron, fool, jackass etc... I'm just going to shout:
You Lily Allen, you..
- The ultimate insult, thanks Silly Lily (Slilly)
Hmmm, I wonder if she's going to copy this article as well and claim it as her own....again.

The first thing is, cant really respect someone who only posts anonymously... at *least* register a nick if you are commenting on a site for a while, or you really are a coward ...among other things.
Not the best comedy ever but... it does showcase the point on mainstream, and like my granda used to say:
Every drop makes up the ocean
I'll take this something over nothing anyday, and i bet the scumbags at **AA central arn't too happy with this going mainstream, heck, i think they would be downright jittery right about now.
And in other news,
Lilly Allen realized what a twat she is and throw herself out of a window, the she also remembered she was fat and thus couldnt fit through said window.. to add insult to injury it finally dawned on her how fat and stupid she is when her people got her out of that room and... she was on the ground floor.
I know you read articles here Lilly, since you also "steal" from here... and you know I wrote the truth above. Dont worry, you can change your nick, then come back and flame away. Nobody will know. Honest.
