    It’s ridiculous to me that they got a presidential override once before, and it’s ridiculous they’re hoping for a second one.

    If some other company was found to violate Apple’s patents, and the president made the whole thing go away, Apple would cry foul.

      Six bill market cap. Less than Apple can afford but more than it would like to pay, I’m guessing.

      And 100% that all senior managers gave themselves massive golden parachutes should they be fired at some point.

    If it is one business type you don’t illegally fuck over, it’s executive C-levels with deep and highly technical engineering knowledge.

    They are coming for blood lmao and I hope they take Apple to the cleaners.

    How hard is it to just legally acquire them, you have more money than the GDP of half of Europe FFS.
