I like Apple. I own a Mac. But I'm no fanboy. Apples are expensive, slower than PCS, etc. But I still use my 5 year-old G3. Over the years I think we've all seen people tangle with Apple. It's a dangerous company to mess with.
And personally, hating Real as much as I do, I certainly don't wish them success. Glaser is a hippocrite for wanting to steal Apple's IP but not wanting Apple to steal theirs. It is a two-way street.
Did you not read the part where they tried to license Apple's DRM and Apple refused? How about the part where Real would be *happy* to license to Apple? He'd be quite happy with the 2-way street.
"Stealing Apple's IP" is pure, unmitigated bullshit. They simply created software that would allow non-Apple music to play on an iPod. The horror!
Piss of Apple, wait for the revenge (Score:-1, Troll)
