I didn't say any of that and you know it. I addressed a single point in the article that was factually inaccurate. One does not equal the other.

I personally think that people who tie themselves into knots over what Company X did to Company Y are laughable dolts. Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, LG, Intel, AMD...whatever. In the end, it's all just picking sides in turf wars between the 1%. There isn't a mega-corporation around that is actually worth one ounce of your energy.
