Jury awards Apple $1.05 billion in Samsung patent dispute ruling

[triassic911]

I can't believe Apple won this. You can't make an item that looks like an item without it being copyright infringement? This is surprising to say the least.

This is great. Samsung got what they had coming and deserved. Samsung should've tried to innovate, like HTC, Motorola(new motorola, not the older, shitty one) or other Android skins(To be fair, I think all Android skins are shitty). But it may be too late at this point. Rather than innovating, Samsung piggy backed off Apple's success. Shamelessly, might I add.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not (and I hope you are), but Samsung did not deserve it. You seem to be heavily biased.

greedy fucking apple, i hope they rot in hell for their greedyness, this will make samsung completely bankrupt, which is a shame, i like their phone and tvs, now that apple have the power to sue anyone they want and get away with it, that stupid judge has been paid off in apples favor, it just shows how disgusting the justice system is, why can't apple just lay off and let people make a choice in what they want to buy?

Samsung won't go bankrupt, there sales are to high too. I have a samsung fridge, phone, tv and washing machine. I didn't even notice till about a week or so ago.

how much are they worth? there is no way they can pay 1 billion dollars and have money left over from that.

They have a ton of different phones out there, they have dvd players, blu ray players, tv's, computer monitors, computer hardware. Dude, 1 billion dollars they can afford. Hell, Apple has around 40 billion. Now I'm not saying Samsung has as much as that, but they can afford 1 billion dollars.

To be fair, samsungs "galaxy" range was better then apples Iphones. Not saying they had there slight similarity (Nothing to sue for though) but It seems like apples run by children who stop playing with something and only want to play with it again once someone else touched upon it.


and knowing samsung, they will try and make something to piss of apple :3

Being "better" is a matter of opinion. But being stolen isn't really an opinion at that point. The lawsuit isn't about who's "better".

After Judging my mothers iphone and a few of my samsung phones, They look, feel, work completely different. at this point the "Being Stolen" is an opinion, and for god sake iphones don't have a microsd card support.

~EDIT~
Also from memory there was an argument in the use of samsung parts in iphones.

yeah i've seen their wiki page and samsung are worth a lot, compared to apple, apple are just begging samsung for pocket change, it's quite sad really.

 

[Bladexdsl]

they'll start suing any1 soon who has the letter i in the name of their product

fucking pathetic they are i dont know how their i-shit keeps selling if people knew what they were really like they'd have the same disgust like i have for them and wouldn't touch their battery sucking i-fads

futurama nailed it! http://www.tv.com/shows/futurama/attack-of-the-killer-app-1344482/

Do you know how stupid that sounds? Using Samsung parts means nothing. Apple bought them.

That's as stupid as saying Apple copied Intel because they use Intel CPUs. Apple is a customer to Samsung. It's not really stealing copying.

Statement from Samsung

"Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer."

I never once said it was stealing or copying, It goes to show how apple can be a dick to a trusted supplier. there was an argument before of people complaining of the use of samsung parts in iphones. Don't shoot the messenger.

So apple once again wins in rigged trail, congrats you greedy, selfish fuckwits.

If Samsung is appealing then good on them for not just sitting down and letting crapple walk all over them, lets hope Samsung will continue to actually innovate the smartphone market while leaving crapple behind copying Android features and selling their overpriced rubbish.

All I know is if a company ever bought my product to make their own product then turn around and sue me I would stop doing business with them.

What's did Samsung do to innovate? I bet S-Voice is a huge innovation and totally not a clone of Siri.

Oh and I bet the icrap is worth its price when you can get the SGS3 for the same price.

This ruling makes my iPhone look worse. I didn't know rectangles and grids could be patented. I guess I do now.

If anyone ever mistook a Samsung phone for an iPhone after actually holding and interacting with an iteration of each, they aren't competent enough to use a smartphone, anyways.
