Rob Enderle and Scott Moritz unearth evidence of impending Apple demise

They are always doomed and this just nails it shut! Via True/Slant:

Franz A. Wakefield is trying to get what he thinks he deserves in a suit against Sarah Jessica Parker and Steve Jobs. You see, Wakefield invented the iPod, iPhone and iTunes – way back in 1989. At a time when I was still fiddling with clunky portable cassette players and nifty little Pocket Rockers, Wakefield foresaw the future and the Internet and a way to monetize it all via a media store that would transfer music and movies onto tiny, portable devices and phones… until the FBI stole his secrets and suffered the betrayal of Sarah Jessica Parker.

The suit details the wackiness:

The suit claims that Wakefield [...] developed a friendship with Parker and “made a trade secret deal” with her to commercialize the iPod classic, nano, mini, shuffle, video, touch and photo, as well as iTunes and the iPhone. The supposed agreement would have granted Parker 2 percent of gross revenues from the products. Wakefield said he asked the FBI to watch over him to ensure the security of his inventions and deal with Parker.

He also wrote a letter to Steve Jobs:

This letter is to serve as a DEMAND for payment. Otherwise I will seek legal recourse for the immediate cease and desist from the manufacture, marketing, and sale of all the iPOD, iTunes, and Iphone lines; along with pursuing damages from the products sold to date, unjust enrichment caused by the theft, enforcement of the agreed 2% gross revenues on all sales, and any other applicable damages or compensation.

Game, set and match! Your jig is up, Steve Jobs.
