Respect Your Customer

I started ripping DVDs and BR disks mostly to avoid this kind of crap.

I buy the disc and I never put it in the player attached to the TV anymore. I simply put it in my computer, rip it into an mp4 and add it to iTunes and stream it to my Apple TV.

Movie studios need to change their silly money grubbing waste of our time.

As Competition Wanes, Amazon Cuts Back Discounts

Does this surprise anybody?

Amazon is a business in it to make money. Kill all competition and then get all the money. Just logical business.

Sucks for competitors and in the long run it will suck for consumers, but it's just business. After all, it's being protected by the U.S. government itself. Yes, anti-trust lawsuit to protect a rising monopoly.

Fidelity Contrafund cut Apple stake 3 percent in December

Since when is the sale of 3% of ones holdings in a company newsworthy? If he dumped all his holdings in Apple, or even half the holdings, then maybe it's worthy of mentioning, but 3%? Really?

Who is paying for these negative articles about Apple here on Reuters?

Only somebody who has a vested interest in knocking Apple's stock down would describe Apple's holiday quarter performance as weak. Even the timing of this article smells fishy. 2 Minutes before stock markets open?

Apple's sales rose over last year's holiday quarter, profits rose over last year holiday quarter, guidance rose over last year. By every metric Apple is performing extremely well. And yet, it keeps getting described as 'Weak'!

Stock Market manipulation much?

PS: I posted this comment on the article directly on Reuters site and of course, the moderators dumped it. The article is showing 0 comments

Amazon's Remote Wipe of Customer's Kindle Highlights Perils of DRM

And anything protected by DRM is fundamentally not yours

That makes me hesitant to buy anything with DRM built in. Whether it's Apple, Amazon or any other company.

They 'sell' it to you, but it's not yours. It would be better if they told you so upfront.

I haven't bought any ebooks with DRM, and this makes me double sure to continue this policy.

How Apple Makes the World a Better Place

Good article.

Apple doesn't compete on price. It competes with features, quality and innovation. Which makes things better and resists the trend for ever cheaper/crappier stuff.

That creates more value, and more value is distributed between a lot more people.
