A thief of ideas crying out when someone else steals the same ideas, really!
I can understand why you are confused, but look at the history of industrial
design since 1900 and be enlightened. Jobs fenced in the commons to keep anybody
else out. That has been tried before - Wright Bros, Edison, Ford etc . That
policy always fails in the end.
Isn't i indicative of insanity that "the most valuable company in the
world" is a toymaker!

"It took three weeks to get it exactly how he wanted it. It was great that
he could do it. But his 11 yo daughter was using her iPhone in under 30
minutes."
But will she *ever* have it exactly how she wants it?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You're as bad as Hogan and that daft magistrate, Grewal.
I will
never buy another Samsung product at the consumer level. I cannot control the
internals.
You want to hold Samsung to a standard that you do
not apply to Apple. And just like with Apple's motion for sanctions against
Samsung regarding the retention of email documents, Apple are further from your
standard than Samsung are.
Perhaps I'm mistaken but I was under the
impression that a number of developers that contributed to the OpenDarwin considered themselves backstabbed by Apple
because their contributions were being used by Apple without any sort of
recompense being sent their way. Apple is by no means angelic in it's actions
so for it to be backstabbed by Schmidt (of which I hold no opinion[1]) would in
my eyes only be karma.
Personally, I think that Apple deserves more pain
than it has caused owing to it's continual disingenuity and because it's most
vocal proponents - whether they are the executives, legal representatives,
employees or simple consumers - try to rewrite history or feign ignorance (or
are just plain ignorant) of what Apple has done to get where it is.
Apple do
not deserve sympathy.
j
[1] I don't know what Schmidt's role at Apple
was so I think your description is probably slightly over the top. If Schmidt
had truely backstabbed Apple then I would imagine that he would have broken his
fiduciary duty to Apple for which I'm certain Apple would have started a
lawsuit. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

“Jobs was horribly offended”
A
“great artist” (as I'm sure he saw himself) has no business
being offended by this. A superior artist can handle the competition; an
inferior artist wants to destroy it. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Oh that's right, I forget, Steve Jobs created the universe.
And on the seventh day, he sued it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
