I should have stated that as nobody's making more money than Apple doing these things. Apple is raking in profit hand over fist off of producing highly competitive and profitable products. Therefore, there's no way Apple is suing out of the same desperation than an SCO, Dell or other company on the decline would do.

"quality" is whatever Apple is doing the best at today.

No, Apple tends to actually have the highest quality products. Apple also consistently rates highest for consumer satisfaction and support. So Apple isn't one of these companies making cheap products on a slim margin, suing because they need to pad the balance books or slow down the competition so they can catch up.

And when their orders and stock prices were going up the buzz was all about that. Now that they’ve started to fall off, you never hear about it. It gets pretty transparent after awhile.
