40. It is Tragic that Apple isn't making enough money... I guess

What's funny about these stories is that no matter how upset one feels like getting about the immorality of it all, one is (in practical terms) arguing that Apple should make more money and have an effective smart-phone monopoly.

And perhaps they should, legally.

But it's a weird sort of crusade to get invested in.
