> Company goes away

We’re talking about Apple, one of the most valuable companies in the world, sat on over $100bn in cash just “going away”, in what, the lifetime of a laptop? For me that’s 3-5 years, for others maybe 10. That’s an absurd premise. The probability of that is so close to zero it doesn’t bear consideration.

What if it's broken by legislators and the pieces are named something differently. Want to bet no apple.com links get broken? And their certificates?

The point is, if I want to buy a personal computer and stuff it in the closet for 50 years to use later, that's between me and the creator. Not Tim Cook.
