Gee, maybe you ought to think long and hard about the fact that pretty much everybody who has actual relevant knowledge and experience is taking Apple's side.

Yeah, well the entire world sided against Galileo, but guess who turned out to be right?

I'm not sure being right when everybody else is wrong is a common experience for you, but it has been such a regular occurrence throughout my life to the point where I just expect it anymore.

I am occasionally wrong, but what will convince me is a good argument backed up by a good set of facts, not the numbers of people who think things are a certain way. The Majority of people thought Barack Obama was a good idea, and myself and others thought it would be an epic disaster.

So which way did the "tech industry" go on the Barack Obama question?

You're just showing more ignorance. In fact, the educated people of the time agreed with Galileo. Actually, even the Church generally agreed with Galileo on the science -- he didn't get in trouble for being a heliocentrist, he got in trouble for being a jerk (writing a buffoonish character who was an obviously meant to correspond to the current Pope into his Dialogues).
