Why is Apple the worst offender? Many would put them above the rest because of their stance on privacy.

> Google... stumble ethically not on purpose.

Stumbling? When they ripped off Sun, they did so with deliberately and with awareness at the highest levels. There are emails revealed during the trial that leave no doubt.

Also, of all the companies engaged in all the smartphone patents wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone_patent_wars), Google (via Motorola) was the only company that was actually found guilty of abusing patents: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/09/4-billion-motorol...

Pretty rich coming from a company that accused everyone else of abusing patents.

> Why is Apple the worst offender? (Top of my head) Lies and more lies (Power PC more Powerful than Intel X86, No malware, no virus, we are the definition of Innovation), Closed Wall Garden, Over Promising and Under Delivering, Patents, The eBook Price Fixing, the Approval Process on iOS, No Competition Hiring Agreement, Amiga Computer was 7 years ahead of the time and Apple lied about it for YEARS, Promising a Color Mac and it would be a simple card upgrade TOOK YEARS, and perhaps the worst of the lot iTunes GUI!!!!.

> When they ripped off Sun

Than why did Sun's CEO congratulate them? Sun also loves to rip off people look at Oracles' Unbreakable Linux AKA Redhat Linux.

I seriously have 30+ years of Apple hatred from before my Amiga days. Amiga community HATED Apple for their business practices and clear lack of innovation. I went to buy a Mac with my dad when released and my dad say the writing on the wall. Lies and more lies and Lisa wasn't more powerful just more expensive and you still sell those?
