apple paying microsoft for i-pod - thedarkcanuck - 08-17-2005
heard this on the radio yesterday...something about how apple/mac didn`t patent some of the technology in the i-pod and when microsoft realised this, they got the patent & now apple has to pay something like $10 of every i-pod sold to microsoft....something like 250 million so far.....if this is true, it is very funny....no wonder gates is so damn rich, but hats off to him in any event
