It might be just me but recently some of the big companies are just getting plain ol greedy........Im sure you guys have heard about the Warner Music Group thing with YouTube.......so now we cant have copyrighted music(only from WMG) in our videos(yeah its because WMG didnt think they were getting enough money from YouTube for their music).......Now this....Its all horse **** and all it does is **** people off.

Seriously when does it stop, its getting recockulous.

It's part greed and part crappy economy. As the economy worsens and sales drop, companies are looking for any way possible to make money. Also, Apple is notorious for acting like spoiled children when it comes to their stuff. They firmly believe that they have already released the perfect device (computer, phone, mp3 player, etc.), and that further tweaking it to do something other than its original design is somehow a slap in their face and should be discouraged at all costs. It's like they get upset because they didn't think of it first.

Apple can hug a nut. When I paid for my iphone it became MINE to do what I want with.

This would be as assinine as GM claiming it is illegal to mod our cars, or Builders claiming you can't do any home improvements.

Granted Ford was being petty about thing a while back and I know some universities got their panties in a wad from highschools adapting their logos to their teams.

Hey, those CEO's have to pay for their billion dollar mansion(s), and multiple exotic cars. Geez!!! Don't you care that they get their 100K bonus?!?!

I had a jail broken iPhone, but reset it because I had too many bugs & it slowed my phone wayyyy down. Wait time to open any application was 15 seconds.
