Shouldn't there be a class action suit agains't apple?

I was reading this about how Mozilla is not even developing a version of their popular Firefox browser for the iPhone because they are sure it will be turned down by Apple.

If I remember correctly, not so long ago there was a class action suit against another famous company who bundled their popular browser (it still is very popular - some 60% of the world accesses the internet on Internet Explorer) with their OS.

I hope and pray that someone will bring such a lawsuit against Apple, because they sure as hell need one. For the evil big brother, the kick in the ass from the court will send them to the same level as the other company everyone loves to hate. Not that they were ever any better, its just perception.

On the other hand, I won't say a word against Google, they know too much about me, my wife, my brother, my father and just about any one else who access the internet. So I will just shut my trap and hope that the real big brother keeps doing no evil.

Read until the end.....you'll laugh....

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?


At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.

At other times this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP !

To be knowledge able about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now ........my time is UP!

Oh...one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?
UP !

Now I'll shut UP!
