The higher they rise, the louder they crash.

My personal hunch is that Apple will have to struggle for its life earlier than 2014. What?

pretty much this.

the second I finally thought that apple might not be the bunch of greedy asshats that I make them to be in my head, they do this ****.....
apple really need to get a couple of slaps across the face, a kick in the balls and grow up.

there have been a fake Apple store open in china for years, they find out.... and they decide to sue samsung for a billion because they meant something was copyright infringed, not the fake Apple store that earns money on fake products with their name.
