It seems that somebody at the Apple Headquarters got a whiff about my article on iFags vs. Mac Users and their tendencies, and they decided to launch a lawsuit against me. Their claims, according to the papers I was served, is as follows :
“Your incident on your blog has damaging consequences to the reputation and revenues of Mac users and Apple Inc. Apple and its subsidiaries find the article to be very disturbing in its derrogatory nature, its obscenity, and the falasity of the accusations against Apple Inc. We have …

“It’s like uncovering the ash-ridden lungs of a cancer patient – he may look perfectly fine on the skin and what not, but when you get to the depths of this, the hideous and low-class segments of the city are barren and wasted – adding a black spot to the elegance and the beauty of the city.”
It’s been a few years since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics was confirmed. My home country, Korea, was in the running to but they lost the bid. But hey, I’m in Vancouver, and I get …

“It bugs me more than ever when I see a registration email coming from a website I just registered to, saying “Hello, your password is xxxxxxx”. This is just wrong. I do not want my password written ANYWHERE in the world. That tells me that the website is not secure, and the web developers obviously did not do their due diligence.”
