A company that has shipped tons of jobs to China, patents stuff it didn’t invent or goofy stuff likes shapes and animations or things it never even sells (but will sue if someone else does), has the nerve to spout off about these guys?

By the way, I'm no friend of Apple, but I just talked to a US technology company TODAY that is raking it in on the iPhone because they invented the coating that allows you to drop your iPhone and allow it to survive up to 10 G's of acceleration, even though the chips are held onto the board with nothing but microscopic balls of solder.

Apple has created plenty of US jobs. Most people just don't know about the connections to other companies, so they don't see it.
