How can a company be found guilty of embezzlement?

Shite products? Yes, of course. Kinell. People need to learn the difference between shite and overpriced.

Also, you clearly don't know what embezzlement means.

Huh... I just watched the Keynote presentation from WWDC on June 10th. I've got to admit, I am looking forward to OSX Maverick; hopefully my battery life will be extended further than what it already is. IOS7 looks good to, though I am a bit hesitant about it.

Multitasking isn't the only feature, you know. I'm hesitant because they've made it a lot more similar to android devices with their new features. I think, if implemented properly, it'll be nice. But I'm also worried that if they mess up its going to ruin my IOS experience.

Oh no they stole an idea from another company. That's never happened before.

I know it's funny because it's Apple and they have a history with getting a bit crazy about protecting patents but fuck me.

I'm not an Apple fan boy either, Android is the superior phone system and what the fuck the iPad is about I have no idea (especially those people who take out their iPads in their little coloured cases and use them as cameras) but the amount of hysteria lost over Apple's shit is astounding.

No. The point was to stop being such an uptight little shit and focus your ire somewhere more deserving.
