> hurt Apple's reputation in the tech community than anything they've done before

They're not the ones suing Google. Rockstar's a separate entity with its own corp leadership that has incentives to find ways to recoup their investment.

>Apple used to be careful not to alienate hackers.

Google and their monopolistic practices and their anti-competition ploys is what has alienated more hackers than Apple ever will.

>Now in my mind they are both the enemy.

The only enemy is Google. They completely disregard intellectual property of others and attack everyone else's revenue streams by offering free products and refuse to pay IP licenses for anything.

Google's the most evil corporation today and it's sad that you, of all people, don't see it. Look closer Paul… they're the big brother everyone warned us about!



> They're not the ones suing Google. Rockstar's a separate entity..

You must be new here to not know the scammy tactics Patent trolls use to hide behind and operate within.

But judging from your newly created account, I'm going with just another standard shill.


> and their monopolistic practices... Is there any of the big hitters in the industry that aren't similarly "monopolistic"?

Agreed. This guy's a shill.


>offering free products

By my definition, that makes Google the good guys.
