And now they're after Google. How long will it be before Walmart and Fred Meyer are under suit because they dare to mark up soda pop?

What these ass-hats are going to wind up with is an app environment where all developers must go it entirely alone, small developers will have to cough up hefty fees in order to gain access to developer tools, and apps will rise in price by significant margins in order to cover those costs.

If developers win this, there will be no win for consumers. None! The only people who stand to win anything are the mega-developers. And the quality of their software will begin to slide because Apple and Google will no longer put the same effort into development tools, since there is no profit in it.

And it will all go before judges/juries that haven't a clue how much money/labor goes into creating these things.
