The Logic Off Topic list

I feel so enriched by the philosophical treasures this list has 
provided.  I would like to summarize just a few of the pearls our 
sages have given us over the last week and a half alone.


* The people who build a company have no right to sell it and should 
be sued for doing so.

* A company has no right to make a marketing decision and should be 
sued for doing so.

* Anytime a company makes a decision that does not benefit me 
personally they are being unethical and should be sued.

* A company has no right to discontinue a product and can be sued for 
doing so (I guess that's why the Model T is still a proud part of the 
Ford product line).

* To say that you will stop selling something at a future date is 
exactly like saying you are going to take away something you have 
already sold, grounds for a law suit plain and simple.

* A company has no right to buy another one that is for sale for the 
purposes of enhancing it's product line.

* Apple is clearly buying e-magic to get logic off the market.

* Apple has hired developers from Opcode the inventor of Acid, bought 
e-magic and have incorporated audio and midi functions into the OS. 
Clearly PC is the platform of choice for the music industry 
professional.

* Microsoft is the friend of the people Apple with its 5% (?) market 
share is an evil monopoly.

* An company with a 5% market share has a moral obligation to support 
the products of a competitor with a 90% market share.

* No matter how many times they say or write that they make no 
guarantees and their software is sold "as is" a software company has 
a moral obligation to provide updates for all of eternity.

* The value of a product has nothing to do with its ability to 
perform its designated function at the time you buy it.

* The value of a product has nothing to with its ability to perform 
its designated function at the current moment either.

* If there is a possibility that the product you own may become 
obsolete at a future date you should not wait for the competitors 
product to overtake it but should instead buy the competitors product 
right away regardless of its *current* relative merit.
