That is all fine until yo are running a company that needs capital to expand. Sometimes being bought assures your continued existence. I really...

seriously why does that even bother you? As long as you have the copyright you can keep it free.

Also consider software that might...

While all of this stuff is very interesting, I really don't see anything worth buying this year. At this point I see it as foolish to invest in any...

Apple hasn't produced any propaganda, if anything they undersold M1! It is a far better processor than the x86 world want to acknowledge. I really...
