These are great questions which deserve (but won't receive) honest answers. By the way, I hate the name of this party and will not join or support it until it chooses a name which does not demean the victims of crimes at sea and give the pro-big-media lobby a perfect talking point with which to discredit these great arguments. - Simon Phipps

@glynmoody Oh, and "Pirate" is a very bad word and should not be abused even in this situation. The irony is lost on almost everyone.

I'm sure the Apple fanboyz will be sneering but Paul Graham is spot on in this essay: http://paulgraham.com/apple...

@mjasay It will come as no surprise that I find the comments and attitudes of both IBM execs in that interview disgraceful.

Paul Graham gets it spot on again. Apple's attitude is Google's biggest asset in the battle for the mobile market. - Simon Phipps
