IMHO, most of your arguments are inconsequential stuff, so I am not sure what I am supposed to do about your writings. Probably, it does not make sense to respond your mails anymore... As to critical thinking, it definitely reveals that Apple's choice was far from being. Is it so difficult to accept?
