#1 Apple could be fined $25 Million per week for the next 10 years and it's bottom line wouldn't feel the impact. Settlements such is this ensure no one goes to jail and the minimum corporate disruption is experienced.

Wrist slap with a wink.

#8 Apple could just move abroad.

I wish they would. Good riddance. But they won't because they have too much invested in all the politicians they've bought. Then they'd have to bribe all the politicians in some other country.

And, yes, settlements like these should be designed not just to compensate the aggrieved parties but to punish the offender to such an extent that they won't be tempted to do it again.

#10 Name me any tech innovation at Apple since Jobs died.

Zippo. It is a cash cow to be milked. Change the color and declare it's new and improved.
