So, apparently, if you are a celebrity and you speak ill of the iPhone, Apple will hunt you down and demand an apology. Give me a freaking break:

Yep, that's pretty pathetic on Apple's part. How dare she make fun of Apple?!

She wasn't even really necessarily making fun of the iPhone... just technologically inept folks.

I read that it was because she used the Apple song and the real logo and Apple is one of the biggest sponsor's of American Idol.

Still lame. Apple needs to chill out.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I'm wondering how much is true and how much is embellished.

Since it didn't really give any specific details, I don't really see how anything could be too embellished on this article.

Apple appears to be on the rampage lately.
That old 1984 Apple commercial seems to have a new meaning - only now Apple/Steve is the domineering voice barking out commands.

I can see Apple saying "We want you to apologize", but geez, Ellen is such a p*ssy!

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

Wouldn't surprise me if her American Idol producers had some "influence" in the matter.

I've always thought of her as more of the one with a penis in her relationship.
