Let me get one thing very clear from the very outset: I am not now, nor have I ever been an Apple fanboy. I was, admittedly, one of those folks that bashed the company for making so many of its products too similar in nature and functionality for my preferences; seriously, there were like 100 different iPods on the market at the same time. But, somewhere along the way, I came to realize something and eventually caved a little, buying an iPad when the 3rd generation was released, although I didn’t camp out at the store to get it. In fact, I plan on getting an iPhone 5 as well when my current contract ends. I know my fanboy comment seems a little far-fetched so far, but keep reading and you’ll understand everything soon enough.

All of this beings us to the most current controversy: the class action lawsuit against Apple concerning the operation of its Siri companion on the iPhone 4 line of smartphones.
