I got a bit carried away then. Nurse is here now with the medicine.

Will we crowdfund a defence to allow us to keep using the word Books for non-Apple product?

Technically the proper name for the reading app is "Apple Books" but the name on the app icon is Books.

Don't get me started about Apple. Do we have an :eyeroll: emoty? I guess we do, just spelled a bit different.


More than anything, it's the screaming condescension and arrogance and the blithe disregard for their customers' pockets that just chaps my ass. And yes, form over function. I mean, sure, in a way, I'm blaming them, with this latter item, for the.... the profligacy of the buying public; for their disregard of many better-performing devices, just because Apple is "cool;" for exploiting the lesser angels of their constituency, but man, it's cavalier and callous, if you really step back and look at it, not through the rose-colored glasses of the Jobs worshipfulness.

I'm a heinous capitalist myself, but there is something almost inhuman about that company.
