EULAs aside, I wonder what stand Apple takes on higher-level ethics and morality, looking at themselves as an entity capable of making a significant difference in this world.
In this article, there could be a genuine opportunity for Apple to apply some of massive resources toward curing at least one type of cancer (the one that killed Steve Jobs): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9508895/A-virus-that-kills-cancer-the-cure-thats-waiting-in-the-coldc.html In this article, they seem to be more focused on selling iPads to the medical industry under the guise of helping find a cure: http://www.cultofmac.com/147937/could-apple-help-cure-cancer-in-corporate-america/ I'm sure they give large sums of money to some very good causes, but why not go all out and make a difference by really changing the world instead of paying all those lawyers to take down Samsung? Ok, this one is definitely over the top, and also naive, but wouldn't it be a wonderful achievement for a company of such humble beginnings? ~Roger On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 4:05 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Peter Alcibiades wrote: > > Richard, where I would differ is in the view that there are two choices: >> use >> and agree, or use something else.
