Classic, Dingus. You really stepped into it.
How about 200 Billion in cash reserves.

You seriously believe that fighting this will cost more than 10% of what Apple has spent on Patent fights? This is a purely legal issue to be decided. There are no disputed facts of consequence. No protracted discovery.
And Ken, who at Apple is giving testimony or providing statements to the FBI? They merely said No we are not complying.
Dingus, how much actual experience do you have with complex business litigation? None?

How about 200 Billion in cash reserves .
Where did you pull this number from? Net worth Bill Gate now $72 billion; he was up to $92 billion.

Bill Gates is not Microsoft, and that's not his cash.
Wow.

sketchy,
the challenge I ask was what is the independent variable. Is your statement intended to be some kind of a strawman argument that I might accept?

Mono,
the questions at hand is where did you come up with $200 billion cash?

It's microsoft that is sitting on that kind of cash, not Bill Gates
You still haven't figured what Apples cash reserve is.
Try using this thing called Google.
Type 'apple cash reserves'.

Read my post. I define the independent variable exactly and in context. You, on the other hand have very little understanding of what you talking about. But, don't let that stop you.
Futility is debating with those with no knowledge of the subject. I'm going back to the Sunday crossword puzzle.

You'll find many estimates in the 200B range.
If apple only had 100 Billion cash reserves, how many more times is that then say 200 million spent on a legal fight?

Tell me what the independent variable is. You like to tell us that you know but cannot present it -- you big bullshitter. Stand up and Deliver.

Probably good as I can see your expertise is not math.

Monolith,
maybe the cost will be $ billions? It certainly will be more than several million. Maybe my perspective is low?
But I see your point about maybe not to much cost to them as this expenditure can be wrote off and thought of as good advertising.

Oh, now it's billions.
Good grief, Dingus. Whatever it is it will be peanuts compared to their cash reserves alone, not even compared to their valuation.

Since reading comprehension is not your strong suit, the independent variable is the cost of this legal fight with the FBI.
And making an issue out this is just your way of avoiding an acknowledgment of your complete lack of understanding of the subject at hand.
And, remind me, what actual experience do you have that qualifies you to opine about the cost of this type of litigation?
