@daringfireball Do you have the skinny on whether Tim Cook and Jony Ive retain any affinity for each other? Or maybe there wasn't much to begin with. I recall that Ive is close with Laurene Powell Jobs, and I imagine she must maintain some proximity to Apple. I don't know if there's a transitive property at play or if she's a friend to each but not a conduit between them.
@daringfireball What, please inform me, makes Apple so special that they have grounds to believe they should be exempt from the wholesale pirating and exploitation to which so many creators have been subjected without recourse?
