Yes sorry, you have right.
In 1987, Steve Jobs was booted out from Apple. At that time he start NeXT OS and Next Box.
At the very time, he was attacked in justice by Apple cause he copy many of ideas of Apple brand.
S. Jobs answer was: "It is hard to think that a $2 billion company with 4,300-plus people couldn't compete with six people in blue jeans." - WikiQuote.org
Right now the same company, but instead S. Jobs to be attacked by Apple, right now he is the mastermind of the attack, did not try to make their product affordable, but instead it attacks the competitors.
They use iPhone, even was a Cisco brand, but they say that is too generic.
For me Apple looks like a behemoth that force you in the same as Microsoft or any monopoly do, but in their "stylish" OS, brand, products.
Shame of them that they not offer alternatives, instead they attack small companies, as did Microsoft with 235 patents to attack Linux.
Yes. Because Apple has never ever profited from the work of others... [cough] Xerox... [cough] Braun... [cough] open source developers... [cough] Microsoft... [cough] companies that developed USB... [cough] developers of multi-touch... [cough] list goes on...
Wow, you're a retard.
I profit from my work.
My boss profits from my work.
My boss's boss profits from my work.
The investors of the company also profit from my work.
To make a sweeping generalization that it's wrong to profit from the work of someone else is outright ignorant. Profiteering itself is not unethical, immoral, or necessarily wrong.
To profit off someone's work without their consent (as is the case here) is unethical, immoral, and an outright jackass thing to do. Perhaps it's even illegal.
But don't go saying it's wrong to profit from the labor of someone else. It's perfectly fine if that person has agreed to it.

Apple when Jobs went away to make it's NeXT computer, he was attacked by it's ex-company. And he said lately: how can a big company cannot resist against a 3 person company?
How Apple driven by Steve Jobs cannot innovate in the prices area, as did PyStar and prove that is competitor not a tiran.
Shame Apple, shame!
