The Future Post: A judge has put a temporary ban on sales of the Galaxy Nexus in the United States after Apple claimed Samsung copied some of its technology used in the iPhone.
(Apple, iPhone, Phones, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
Yeah, It's absolute bullshit. Frivolous patents just to earn money from others success. Instead of friendly competition and innovation, we're getting child's play. And paying money for it.
The same can be said otherwise for any other cellphone maker... and I am pretty sure Apple's concepts are not exactly the most novel of ideas... the reality is that some ideas are totally made from scratch, but others sometimes pass from hand to hand and get developed into something better as time passes on.
I agree. In order to spur innovation, you need access, and you can't innovate if every single time you turn around you're getting sued for so-called "patent infringement." Bottom line, everyone steals, but ultimately it's what they do with what they've stolen that determines whether it constitutes theft or the means toward achieving innovation; otherwise referred to it as "evolution."
Well, Apple learned their lesson from the past. M$ ripped their UI for Windons OS.. and made billions. Apple is too smart to let it happens again. Innovation is when you came something new. Google Android was never touchscreen OS. Eric Schimts was on Apple board, and learned Apple iOS and just ripped from them. This is more attacked on Google because Samsung is using Google Android...
This is getting ridiculous now, Apple is suing literally every company, and the dumb thing about it is that they are still the market leader, so they have nothing to worry about.
settle lack of innovation? Samsung and GOOGLE are the one with lack innovation... they copied, if you actually reads up how Andriod came touchscreen iOS, then you will understand.
MS and Apple have the same beginning. So it's not really surprising why Apple is acting like a dumb suing every competitors they know..
And yes MS is also doing the same thing with Google, suing them and claiming that some of the Androids OS components are from MS's and Google just copied it.. Unfortunately MS won in the legal battle so what really happen in todays competition, every android devices that has been sold, there's a $5 royalty fee for Microsh!t..
good good , anyway all the US needs is iPhone ... that's the way of a police state , one thing for all .. let the rest of the world enjoy the different , colorful phones :P
Samsung provide apple with the Iphone processors I believe; wish they'd turn around and refuse to that would be amusing albeit short-lived still... and all their court cases ver them "looking similar" Irony is that Samsung had/have actually used that design first before the iphone stuff was even patented I saw an old MP3 player from late 9090'3/early 2000 made by Samsung that had that oblong shape with a home button (optical selector thing to move through songs etc so technically apple stole that design off Samsung :p

Apple should only sell their products in USA and nowhere else and let other manufacturers sell worldwide.
problem solved.
iv never once heard of nokia suing moto/htc/blackberry or vice versa over patent shit until Apple entered the mobile market.
