OK so let me get this straiht. Apple once again stole something without permission and is agreeing to pay for the rights to use it only after the fact that they stole it? Man they are taking this "It is better to ask forgiveness than permission" a little too far.

Forgive me if I misinterpreted this but it appears that the clock is already being used in iOS and is just now being agreed upon the licensing terms.

It's always better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. or as my drill sergeants used to say, "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying! If you got caught, you weren't trying hard enough!"

Besides, it's free advertising for the SBB & wasn't it stated that Apple's supposed losing their ass with iOS6 anyway? Last I heard it was to the tune of $60 billion, but like the markup on jewellery, I think the 'real' money would be more to the tune $6 billion. Still something to definitely cry about to be sure.
