one to the head & two to the chest... it's the only way to be sure. And we don't have time for a warrant.

I was just thinking the very same F'ing thing! Apple is doing so well for one apparent reason..........stronghold grips on as much as they possibly can without merit.

I'm all for IP but seriously....must put a stop to the nonsense "We invented this", "We invented that", next it'll be......."We invented reading/looking/interpreting a certain way".
