Oh I see what you mean.
Works are original in their own right (unless they are not of course) but generally something inspired the author. Most of the time having no limits stifles creativity for many rather than stimulating it. But there are no set rules of course.

In the context of this discussion though I find the "Apple didn't invent product x" very very tedious. Essentially yes they did by amalgamating a bunch of different existing technologies in a new way and focusing on the UX. That makes product X (for example, the ipod) an entirely new product regardless that there were mp3 players before it. It's one of the many grasping at straws arguments you find in these types of discussions. Their creativity and innovation is in making the product actually work and nice to use with a complete supporting environment. It's the complete attention to details. It's not marketing as the product would have quickly flopped otherwise.


Well it IS marketing otherwise I wouldn't see the mawkish attention that Apple obsessed fucksticks give to every minuscule modification of their hardware (400 extra songs on an iPod = "OHFUKMEIMGONDIE!"Wink, this pants-shitting excitement/trepidation that new software updates come with (more annoying than FB updates as there are many reasonable alternatives to iShit), and the cult-ish utter certainty that their product choice is correct though often they have no fucking clue.



So really your issue is with Apple fanboys. Is it really Apple's fault that these knobs go berserk over bullshit? People are stupid man, you know this as well as anyone.

Look for deaths over the next few weeks in the Foxconn factory. I guarantee someone will commit suicide in order to meet Apple's 1million 4S presales.

FWIW the majority of suicides have been proceeding the iPhone 4, the iPad and the iPad 2.

Maybe Steve Jobs shot them in the back of the head because they weren't performing fast enough and then covered it up to look like suicide? Ever considered that?

When a corporation needs to implement suicide netting, there's something wrong.

Sure I'm singling out Apple, but they could easily take the moral high ground here and have had plenty of opportunities to tell Foxconn that they will look for another manufacturer.

Heh this bit is weird "The turnover rate is quite high. There are many people who resign within the first month. And I’ve
just applied for the resignation, but I’m not sure if it has been approved."

You're resignation has to be approved? What if its declined? Confused

Maybe it's like they're contracted for a year and she's applying to resign earlier or something..

It's a communist state run economy with virtually NO labour laws. Don't even bother trying to ascribe Western style labour laws to it. Possibly, she has to apply for permission from the local government authority to resign. Could be anything like that.
