I recently worked with a technical VP at a chip foundry in South Korea. One day Quallcom came up in discussion and he said "Qualcomm are like gangsters in the industry".

I know this is completely tangential, but just wondering if Apple ever came up in discussion.

Apple is the gangster in the hood.

What Apple did to/with that glass foundry that went under was straight-up gangster.

And because of that the little glass (actually sapphire) company´s execs are in court for fraud and the little glass company Apple raised from obscurity (Gorilla) is doing pretty well - Right. Gangster

I might be missing your sarcasm (as they are not 'little'), but are you suggesting that Apple raised the 168 year old, S&P 500 Corning Glass from obscurity?
