To The Apple Fanboys

I read a comment that got me seething  in response to Apple winning their suit against Samsung:

"if you like the way iPhone does things, why don't you just buy an iPhone"

In words even fanboys can understand, the answer to this is:

1. I like pinch to zoom, but I hate iTunes. I'd like an alternative that does that. Overly restrictive patent laws reduce consumer choice.

2. Only Apple wins with restrictive patent laws. EVERYONE else loses. Even Apple Fanboys. This is because Apple is allowed to rest on their laurels instead of coming up with better products to stay ahead of the competition.
