Everything we do to manage a business consisting mainly of remote employees is something anyone else could do too.

I would modify "anyone else" to "anyone else enlightened enough". Big difference.

It's still amazing how many managers/leaders are so bad at managing/leading that all the tools in the world wouldn't make a bit of difference. You know who they are, the people for whom:

  perceived activity = progress
  meetings = progress
  being there = progress
  lines of code = progress
  check marks = completion
  social skills = competence
  perception = reality
  what's on the surface = what's underneath
  # of tasks completed = an acceptable metric
  successful testing = quality software
  smiling customers = satisfaction
  90% complete = only 10% more to go

Good managers know better. So they can take advantage of OP's tools.

The technology for managing remotely is clearly ahead of the people who would most benefit from it. I look forward the the day when managers catch up and "get it".

This is exactly the sort of stuff RMS was saying decades ago, but most people wrote it off as "unrealistic" and "paranoid". Its looking more like the right to read every day.

Control of Computers/information systems is going to become one of the only real ways to exercise control over people in the future, because it will encompass everything else.

Its sad to see people welcome locked down shit like apple products, here with open arms.

Copyright is supposed to cover the actual code written and not the inspiration, if the original code base and images where not used and no trademarked assets where used then there should be no infringement. It is the reason that I can go out and write a spreadsheet application even though there are other spreadsheet applications. I can even draw my feature inspirations from other offerings. So long as I do not use their code and write it myself, I have not violated copyright. Now I am sure Atari has a trademark on Battlezone, but I think the tanks themselves would be too liberal of an icon to actually constitute a trademark, they probably have a trademark on the font lettering and the name Battlezone as applied to games. They would have a hard time wining this case in court, on either copyright or trademark grounds, which should be the bar that Apple is applying. If I where Apple, I would make all parties agree to arbitration and then comply with the outcome of that arbitration, even if Apple has to pay for such arbitration, it is a known cost, they are a third party with legal liability and I am surprised that they are comfortable in that position with such a loose process.
