The scare of their lives was being banned from Apple stores? I'm gonna guess they have lived a pretty damn sheltered life. I stroll in to my local Apple store once in a while, but if I was banned I think I'd get over it pretty quick. “Four Palo Alto teenagers raised in the heart of Silicon Valley got the scare of their lives when they thought they might be banished from all Apple stores worldwide, for life.”

You apple fanboys are the ones too rabit to think clearly. Perfect example is this story here, in which you think that it's acceptable to illegally detain people for doing nothing wrong, except to dare to install a third party app on your golden idol, the iPhone. Again, these people should sue apple, get some great negative PR against apple, and walk away with a ton of cash. 53-haha you think so? You apple fanboys are the ones too rabit to think clearly.
