Apple is the shit.

Apple just gets away with shit. Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave, laughing at Samsung

:lol Korean chinks

[InRareForm]

Fuck Apple. They trying to win the game by admitting they can't win at the pace others are exceeding them at this current moment. Sue and put a hold on them is their strategy. Bitch move. Fuck 'em, Android will jump to Windows/Others to combine forces.

How does the jury come with a verdict, then is asked to reconsider, and changes?

Must be pretty flaky shit going on here. I wonder what their payoffs are.

Apple = American company. Americans always win even if we do get stripped of the title later in life.

Team Apple running a train on these swagbiters yet again, tbh....

apparently, most of the jurors were not smartphone users. But something does seem fishy here.

[TDMVPDPOY]

the sth koren verdict, only fine both companys 20k each for wasting their time....banning both companys from sellin previous items besides the latest 4s and ipad

It was a simple mistake, assigning damages to two parts of the complaint they said "no" to. Question begs... How many other mistakes did they make.

Really now...

Apple patenting the rectangle shape?

That weak shit from Samsung was already slapped down by Apple when they released pictures of a shitload of iPhone prototypes:

You have no clue what you are talking about. Apple offered Samsung a package to license these patents (which MS took), and then went about their business and got sued. Pretty simple. Samsung's legal team is obviously not the best.

apple fanboy lol

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Yeah I do.

[leemajors]

Yeah I do.

Why wouldn't android manufacturers want to be talking to Microsoft right now?

[leemajors]

Samsung and HTC already make windows phones, and Windows phones just don't sell.

[Slomo]

Why wouldn't android manufacturers want to be talking to Microsoft right now?

You do understand that Android and Windows are competing operating systems, right?

You can't have an Android phone with Windows.

The Kims are like the Dungs and Phongs, they don't invent shit, they steal the fuck out of everything and call it "reverse engineering"

Even Japan had to get the transistor from the US.

[lefty]

Is that why Apple copied Sony ?

[mouse]

When will Xerox sue Apple for stealing from them?

All cars have steering wheels but none of the car companies claim to have invented it.

lol what a joke:

http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Apple-CEO-Tim-Cook-sends-Note-to-all-Employees-after-the-Samsung-Verdict

"We value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. And we do this to delight our customers, not for competitors to flagrantly copy."

-apple ceo


hat a fucking joke. What has Apple invented? Anything? They took from others, than make their patents and claim it their own. And he says stop copying us. This is why I won't buy another Apple device.

As if it wasn't obvious to everyone, with the mental capacity greater than an infant, that Samsung has always walked a very fine line with their smartphone designs. Their best contributions to the market have always been "the next best thing" to the iPhone. Their strategy was always to fill the voids, the areas that Apple had seemingly neglected in their designs. They rarely sought to innovate, choosing instead to build on what they perceived to be Apple's weaknesses.

If nothing else, these rulings will serve to spur actual innovation. You know, that thing that in a few years time made Apple one of the most valuable companies in the world.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

InRareForm seems really upset :lol

I suppose you believe that Apple's patent of the rectangle means more innovative shapes will be invented?

If you think it's as simple as that, then my post wasn't directed at you.

Apple makes an awesome product with their phone. But they also have seemed to hit a wall in their own creative ways with the "cell phone". More specifically, the Samsung Galaxy line has shown to be of the level and arguably better than the Iphone product. I don't think they are "the next best thing to".... they are already there. Look at the sales of the Galaxy 3 for example... and this phone (physically) does not look like anything of the iphone. And watch we will see Iphones becoming bigger (screen)... something Samsung practices.

Apple had the best recipe lasagna for sometime. Usually if you want to make a better lasagna, you use the same recipe that the best one made and tweak it in other ways. But now with lawsuit BS, Apple thinks they have the patent for ricotta cheese.

[Wild Cobra]

I know what you are saying. Thing is, there is a large grey area in these cases. Did they copy what consumers liked? Yes. Did they copy code? No.

Where do you draw the line? My point is that the silliness of the lawsuit was as silly as part of it being the patent on the rectangle design.

[mouse]

So then the person with the patent on the circle can sue me for having tires on my car?

You notice how no one ever sues China even though they have thousands of stores in America that specializes in selling fake goods with US patents.

What's flaky? Both sides asked the judge for 15 mins to review the verdict after it was handed, which the judge granted, and so after the verdict was read, Samsung took it's 15 mins and sought clarification on a couple of damages on some devices. The judge then requested the jury to sort those issues out, and that was that.

This is nowhere near the end of this anyways. Even if the judge goes ahead in the Sept 20th hearing and bans Samsung from selling some of the devices, Samsung will appeal regardless and seek a stay so it can keep selling them.

Good.... Samsung should start making their own shit instead of ripping off Apple, tbh.....

Some people don't understand patent law.
