Yeah, it was an exciting evening last night as all the news rolled in
about Foley's withdrawal of his application and Aaron's news about the
MAMEdev's application.

The battle is over, but let's not ever forget what happened, nor who was
responsible...

Yeah there had better not be a glowing review of
an ultracade cabinet show up on your site in the
near future! 😉

I don't think you have to worry about that...ever. ;-)

I've already stated that I'm also not reviewing his iROMs service
when/if it hits the market.

Is that where the quote came from?

That boy sounds like he's got some issues.

If he calls it iRoms, I wonder if Apple will go after him next? Apple has
had history of going after anything they think will devalue their product.

The 'i' brand has become synonymous with Apple and I'm sure that they'd be
unhappy with any possible brand dilution. :)

Yes, that's where the quote came from:

Me:

"Personally, I feel this whole fiasco is a real shame: I would have
shouted the praises of your upcoming iROM service on my site had you not
done this first, as would have many of the other emulation-related
sites. I hope you realize the damage you've done to your company and its
reputation, as well as alienating the very people that you hope to sell
ROMs to in the future."

Foley:

"It's a shame that you claim to be a "News and Reviews" site, but you
won't give honest reviews about products if you don't like something the
company has done. Not very ethical journalism."

Me:

"It's a cliche, but the ends do not justify the means, and claiming that
something is yours when it is not is theft. Why would I ever review or
recommend a product from a company like that?"

Foley:

"In the end, you will review our iROMs service, and talk all about it.
You won't have a choice as it will have a huge impact on the community
and you wont' want to be left out. I don't care if you don't review it,
or even mention it, your participation will have no impact on it's
success."

In a parallel universe, Anti-Chris Lemon said exactly the opposite of:
