Oh CAN it...

Everyone protects their intellectual property. If someone was trying to implement one of your patented ideas and you had a flotilla of lawyers you would go after them too. IP is IP, and if Apple feels that multitouch is their IP then they should take it to court to protect it, and let the court decide whether it's justified or not. Every business with ideas does this. Do you think if Apple decided to use one of Google's patents then Google would sit back and let them?

And how is either of these companies to be considered a "bully" it's not like one is really bigger or more powerful than the other. In Palm's case, yes. But not in Apple and Google.

And the Al Qaeda comment is just brainless sensationalism. Suggesting that a copyright or patent legal case is terrorism shows your absolute lack of knowledge about business, or the world for that matter.
