But maybe it's not all bad:

And if Apple decides to retaliate, there are certainly things they could address:

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

The stereotype of the weeping mother unable to cope with her children beginning preschool, or kindergarten, or graduating from high school, or going off to college was shattered by former First Lady Michelle Obama during a recent appearance by Jon Stewart on her IMO (In My Opinion) with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson podcast.
