What is worse than finding a worm in your Apple? (Half a worm!)

So you know what I think? Yay....

Apple wonders. Apple sales. Apple leadership. Apple at the top.

I only report what is front page news for this is the News section of Mobileread.

In a way, I am like that mere "slave" that rode along with Caesar and as the crowds cried out in adulation, glorifying Caesar, the slave said repeatedly "thou are only a man."

I ride in the chariot with Apple and say thou are only a machine.

It's a sad thing to have to kick sand onto a God, but still some of us don't shirk at important missions.

I'm watching Rome right now. Interesting show.

But the description of this folder says "Latest on e-books, e-paper, DRM and related technologies".

Exactly where does possible fraud with iTunes accounts fit into ebooks, e-paper, DRM, or tech related to them? It doesn't.

Nor does "Is Apple betting the farm on the new iPad (iPad3 or iPadHD or ?)?" or "Apple Siri says, what do you want from me, Perfection?".

Why aren't you starting these threads in the Apple folder where they rightly belong?

To do otherwise just makes it look like your real 'mission' isn't to "kick sand" but to draw as much attention to yourself as possible.

It is their mission. They just have a hatred for apple. It's not ok for others to enjoy the devices cause they iSuck or we're iSheep & don't know about technology. Eh, oh well.

Since I forgot the question mark I guess you thought it I was quantifying your perceptions. I was just curious about which you thought was the greater of the two evils, since you ended your comment with "lol". I do agree that using Apple "is no different than using amazon or any other online retailer." But do you think that most Apple purchasers feel that way? I have had iPad for a long time that I hardly use due it's weight but I have many friends that can't live without theirs. I think that jumping on the OP for starting a thread on what he thought was news worthy is something sad at best.

Just because people get the wrong idea doesn't mean that it is anybody's fault but their own... the media is always full of stories concerning fraud on the net and stuff on social engineering persuading people to do dumb things...

I think it's more the quantity of the subject matter.

He doesn't seem to post anything else but apple threads. After a couple...I've started to wonder why he's beating around the bush. Just say whatever it is and be done with it.

My dear anti-Apple fanboi (hey, we can ladle inaccurate insults out as well), some of us have lives, some of us don't own iPads but that doesn't alter the fact that some of us object to a fanatical effort to denigrate something just to suit an irrational hatred...

We actually prefer to read the facts especially when it show p the gibberish espouse by said fanatics with too little to do with their lives...

Why would 'apple purchasers' feel differently?

How kind and how very helpful.

If you follow the thread you can see that the comments about perceptions started from this:

The idea seemed to be that since Apple advertised their better security apple purchasers would be inclined to lower their guards.

There. I've corrected it for you.

I think that if you watched my house the last few days you would have assumed since I stayed home that I don't have a day job. Your assumption would have been wrong, I had a bad cold. Just because the OP started a few Apple news threads doesn't mean he hates or loves Apple. But more than likely it is a timely subject and the lead story just about everywhere online.

But if we watched your house for a couple of months and you stayed home, we might reasonably suggest that you have more than a bad cold. And the OP has "stayed home" more than a couple of days.

I stayed home the entire month of August due to unforeseen surgery and worked from home more than not for a few more weeks. So you would have assumed incorrectly again.
