Hey, it's not Giz's fault Apple wouldn't invite them to an event if they were the last troll site on the web.

As I said, every mention of Apple is a troll by Giz - and your response is evidence of how hard you've fallen for them.

So you're new here. Hi. By the way, do some research on how the fallout of Giz buying a stolen iPhone prototype turned them completely against Apple, far past the capacity for rational thought.

I was going to comment in a teasing fashion on how *you* can't hold a 24 oz. iPad longer than 30 minutes, but then I realized you either have the body strength of a two year old child or you suffer from a debilitating illness. In either case, my condolences.

Bringing facts to a Giz comment thread? You must be new here. ;-)

1: You're right; many people who have actually used Maps don't have the same problems that Gizmodo and the other tech troll sites have. You can see that from comments and posts on the rest of the net. 2: The tech troll sites won't stop with the current Apple related nonsense until the next faux Apple related outrage

And the Newton predates the Palm. Rows of icons, dock at the bottom.

I would smile like Jack Skellington to see the denizens of Halloween Town make a late October visit.

The iTunes Store EULA talks about purchases, licenses, and rentals. Straight up click and buy of music falls under the category of purchase. You have the same rights legally to use that digital music as you do with the digital music on a CD.

Apple being evil is one of the tenets of click-bait articles. Welcome to the internet.

You're right; they do. But if my lawyer was technologically impaired, I wouldn't trust their advice in a lawsuit against a technology company. I'd find a lawyer who knew what they were talking about.

The claim by the article is that music purchased from iTunes is only licensed and not owned by Willis. The problem is that in reality, while Apple does license software and other products, music is sold, with the same sorts of "ownership" you have when buying a CD or a piece of vinyl. Apple certainly can't, and won't,

"Willis has discovered that, like anyone who has bought music online, he does not actually own the tracks but is instead ‘borrowing’ them under a licence." Not true with the iTunes store, but hey, why let facts get in the way of a juicy fantasy.

I agree that he is a nice guy in person - visiting with him is one of my favorite con experiences - but Shatner's Kirk is still my captain.

I love that Tactical Studies Rules changed their name to TSR Rules.

How do you know that Amazon has sold millions of Kindles? They have never released sales numbers on any version of the device. Sales could be in the millions, or could be much less. You, and I, and everyone else, just don't know.

Then it must really make your blood boil to learn that TB-L used a NeXTcube to code on. NeXT, of course, being Steve Jobs' company that Apple purchased in 1997, and the NeXTSTEP operating system being the direct parent of OS X.

From this article: "Tim Berners-Lee took the concept of Hypercard and turned [it] into a world of networked pages."

From the article: "Under questioning by Apple counsel Michael Jacobs, however, Bogue stated that Fractal Zoom was actually developed after the device had been taken to Apple."
