Petition for Apple to stop the ridiculous lawsuits.

Found a couple of petitions for Apple to stop it's pointless and tiring lawsuits. One is directed at apple, and one is directed at higher authorities. I would encourage everyone to sign it if you feel like Apple is doing more harm than good by all of it's lawsuits. I myself like Android, but I don't necessarily hate Apple. However, its legal team has really gone nuts with the patent lawsuits. Filing product bans and keeping phones out of the hands of customers is just too far. Not everyone wants an iphone, and it's up to us to get that message across. These petitions need more support, and I really hope you'll take a couple seconds to do so. Companies only start paying attention when the voice is too loud to be ignored.

I don't think they believe that.

Yes, much like I'm sure Steve Jobs eventually came to completely convince himself that he came up with all the ideas that he stole.

     "Good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have, you know, always been shameless about stealing great ideas." -Steve Jobs (while quoting Pablo Picasso in an interview)

Note: This comment should not be taken as hate toward Apple or Steve Jobs. I don't agree with many of their policies, but I do think they have created some innovations. I think that Steve Jobs truly convinced himself that he came up with all the ideas that he invariably stole. This is not to say that he did not make any new ones, which I think he did, but perhaps due to his ego and personality, he came to the conclusion that everyone had stolen from Apple, and vicariously, him.

Apple would be just fine as a company if their legal team weren't so concerned with destroying any and all competition, and I think they could come up with some new stuff. As it stands however, I find myself drawn toward the Android platform more and more because Apple, in their current state, are just too sickening to bear.

Stop the madness Apple. Stop the lawsuits and come to your senses. True respect will never be bought or swindled on the courtroom floor. The market should be about open trade and choice for the consumer, not the nitpicking of a thousand vague patents.
