What would you say if you needed to use different gestures to operate the
different cars?
A false analog is never right!

I don't think that your analogy works.
It would be more like if Ferrari had a patent on designing
cars with four wheels, and a jury said it was valid.
Nevermind that carriages and the Model-T existed before
it...

This is a painfully bad analogy. What if cars were required to
have square steering wheels? Or if some cars were required to
place the driver's seat on the opposite side of the car? Or if
the placement of ticker etc... were all required to be
different.
It is very disappointing that American innovation is now
labeled as things like slide to unlock, rounded corners, and
bounce back. What have we become?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As much as you want to believe that your products are "like Ferrari’s your
products are closer to the old American Motors Corporation designs. Unique,
reasonable performing, and FULL of other peoples innovation. As a reminder to
all you Zealots Apple, the computer company, pulled out of their tail slide by
ABANDONING their, "in house" home grown solutions and going with an
Open Source "BSD based" design. In fact, early on they seemed to
embrace the "many developer" based community. Then as they succeeded
it became the "Walled Garden". Judging from their current "go
nuclear" approach to litigation it is beginning to like a prison camp. In
the interim, I will continue to work on finding the prior art in Apple Patents
and providing it to the unfortunate souls who get sued by Apple for violating
their rectangular shape with rounded corners.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The only 3.5 inch samsung phones are things like the galaxy 5 and they dont
look anything like an iphone. The S2 had a 4.3 inch screen for goodness sake.
Compared to a 3.5 inch iphone youd have to be totally mentally defective to
confuse them. Especially since the samsung has big silver word samsung
along the top.
This is nuts. There is nothing in an iphone or ipad that apple invented that i
am
aware of. Everything in them was other peoples inventions i believe. Gps
ohone, camera phone, touchscreen, voice control, notification bar, music
player and so on. All the work of non apple employees to the best of my
knowledge apple are arogant a$$'s and ill do all in my power to stop our uni
and everyone i know from buying their stuff.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

<blockquote>They each have a different feel and
appearance</blockquote>
That's why after driving a Ford with an H pattern shifter and a manual clutch,
you get out and say that was alright.
Lets look at the Chevy... you lift the gull wing door, climb onto the bench seat
(ducking under the roof mounted gear shifter of course with its inverted S
pattern shifter, with the RPM gauge built into the knob.) You sit down, put your
left foot on the left accelerator pedal, your right foot on the turn signal
indicator swivel pedal, your left hand reaches up to the shifter, and your right
goes on the steering octagon, equipped with a paddle to operate the clutch.
Braking of course is accomplished by pushing on the steering octagon, while
accelerating is done by pulling on it.
Oh wait... no... they are nearly identical. If you can operate one, you can
operate the other without needing more than a few seconds to look at the dash.
Your feet settle automatically on the pedals, your hands drop to the steering
wheel, you start the car and drive away. Your fingers automatically flick the
turn signal lever as you approach the first turn without even consciously
thinking about it.
What exactly was your point again? Because generally cars are so similar I can
land in a foreign city, hop into a rental car of a make and model I've never
experienced before, and I can drive it off the lot within a few seconds
operating it with muscle memory and instinct rather than conscious effort.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I remember when the 1990 Toyota Camry came out. I liked the look. At that time
it was distinctive and unique. I bought one. Not too long after, Honda came
out with a car that had the exact same shape. It was so similar that,
from a short distance, you could not tell if it was Toyota or Honda. Then other
car manufacturers came out with the same or similarly shaped cars. It was a
very popular shape.
Did Toyota sue? Did Honda try to sue Toyota? Did
any car manufacturer sue anyone over that shape? No. And everybody
still survived just fine, customers weren't confused and nothing bad
happened.
According to you, major crimes have been committed and
someone has got to "learn a lesson".
I think Apple is the one that
needs to learn a lesson.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
