Apple sueing it's biggest manufacturer is a really dumb move. That's like MS
sueing Intel or Dell.
And according to Apple, they're only doing what *Steve Jobs* said was what got
Apple into the position that they're in at the moment.
What's wrong with that?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

1. As PJ said above - look at the big picture - how the
Apple win has just
reinforced all that is wrong with the US
patent system, which will lead to
stifiling innovation and
consumer choice and money going to lawyers instead of
R&D.
2. The Lumia by Nokia - while the case may be attractive,
the
OS is ugly as sin. People don't buy phones just to have
an attractive case. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It seems likely you have never worked for a company that is in a competitive
market like smart phones. Companies in such markets often analyze their
competitions products. Even Apple does so, though they don't like to admit it.
Quite frankly, if a company does not investigate its competition, it is likely
being ran by incompetents. This often inspires refinements.
If you think Apple has not been inspired (or copied others), you must not be
looking.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Apples designs are just slight modifications of what has gone
before. Can Samsung really be guilty of coping or were they inspired and just
like Apple before them modified things
slightly? Since Apple copied, can it be said they own things
they copied and modified slightly like rounded corners?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

one definition of parasite is:
a person or company who receives
support, advantage, or the like, from another or others without giving any
useful or proper return, as one who lives on the hospitality of
others.
Does that not describe Apple as well as (in your eyes)
Samsung?
Not that I think that Samsung is a parasite, or Apple, they are both
evolving technology to improve things for us, their customers.
But "rounded
corners", that's a really lame claim.
Some designs simply have to be considered
as 'standard', for the pure functionality of use.

I have a Samsung smartphone: thin, svelte beautiful. My friends' iPhones look
fat, clunky and ugly by comparison. Nokia Lumia = MS = thumbs down.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I don't see why this isn't commented on. Samsung was and is a supplier and is,
imo, a thief. They redesigned their product to be a knock off of their own
customer. One that developed parts and processes to use Samsung technology and
then they stole from their own very important customer.
I was never a fan of apple over the years and had Samsung products scattered
throughout my house. I will never buy another Samsung labeled customer product.
Ever. If apple uses a Samsung built part in my next iPhone then fine, otherwise
no more Samsung.
This is not a conspiracy against FOSS. It is a reaction to a crook.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
