Quoted: ...this is an example of the worst thing about Apple. There is simply nothing less attractive than a person who is both flawed and smug, and apparently one of the few plausible justifications for treating corporations as legal persons is the fact that this holds true for companies as well.

Quoted: To be honest, there's really only room for mocking everybody else if you're absolutely flawless. And even then, it's pretty bad taste.
