Here we go - deja vu all over again!
Yes, Apple has every right to protect their IP - if it in fact is actually their IP (see previous entry with contrary article ref). Seems this is how they behaved back in the 80's with their hardware and OS. Look where that got the idiots! What is their market share now? 10 percent, 15 of the PC market?

Nobody in the professional and business world takes Apple seriously as a platform. They shouldn't be taken seriously as a business either. Stupid, selfish (greedy) decisions like this are part of Apple's history, and this is an example of history repeating itself.

For the record, I don't think this is actually their IP anyway. Hiring an inventor AFTER he/she invents it shouldn't make it yours, at least in terms of IP and a patent.

Thanks Steve Jobs, and keep providing the great material!
