So this is how I came to post this thread.
I was watching Jurassic Park 2 on TV. Me and my brother started talking about the SNES version of Jurassic Park, the one where you play as Alan Grant.
So then we started making fun of Dennis Nedry, the fat guy who was taking bribes to steal dinosaur genetic material from John Hammond and InGen in the first Jurassic Park.
I decided to look at the Jurassic park wiki to see who this company was. As it turns out, Dennis Nedry was being bribed by a company called BioSyn
I read their article, and something of interest caught my eye.

BioSyn was a genetics company similar to InGen. The main building of the corporation stood in Cupertino, California. The company is known to steal ideas from other scientists. It is the only BioTech company which employes more lawyers than scientists.

I laughed when I saw the fact at where they were based, and how many lawyers they emply.
This got me thinking.
BioSyn was based off of Apple.
-Both companies are based in Cupertino.
-Both companies have massive legal teams.
-Both companies infringe on patents, steal ideas, and call it their own work.
-Both companies use underhanded tactics (bribery, espionage, spying, tracking)
Just look at all the legal difficulties Apple has (From 2011 alone):
