We Really Wish They Would I loathe thieves. You want something - you pay for it. It really is just that simple. So when it comes to wanton thievery of the magnitude that follows - I get more than a little perturbed. Computer giant Apple is currently in a huge intellectual property dispute with tech innovation giant Qualcomm. I’m no lawyer (which perhaps affords me some additional clarity of thought which law school eradicates) - but this is pretty cut-and-dry, massive scale theft.
