Apple seeks $707m more in damages from Samsung

[Deleted member 194275]

Why Apple is so aggressive against Samsung and so cautions against Google? Maybe because Samsung is Korean and Google is American (and the court in this case is American).

Anyway, Korea industry use to copy stuff:

Haha Apple is only continuing to sue Samsung because they no longer have Steve Jobs to make them money.

This is why the forum needs a facepalm smiley.

You create it then

I dunno why they/we don't use this one already.

No we definitely need a font for sarcasm to stress how much we really care about Apple.

Dude, you're getting trolled.

I know, I enjoy feeding them. Gives them purpose in life

This newest filing claims that Apple will feel long-term damage. Apple can't get people to join the iCult if Apple can't get their foot in the door.

Because of this, I'm rooting for anyone but Apple. Monopolies suck. Having a viable alternative, knock-off or not, is critical for long term success of the industry.

If there was just Apple, everyone would suffer.

For the record when it comes to cars quite a bit of that is because car companies will often sell off their old metal fabrication stuff (which costs a fortune to make in the first place and if maintained properly/with a tiny bit of reconditioning will still be great after the 4 odd years of production the original company wants it for) and Korean car companies are one of the main clients for it all.

These Patent Wars are getting ridiculous.
I read on the Verge that Apple also want sales bans on infringing products. Meanwhile Samsung comes out looking the least bad by arguing for a fresh trial as the last one was far too compressed for the amount of allegations being thrown around.

Apple should be more focused on improving it's iShit rather than filing more iLawsuits against it's iCompetitors.

How long are they going to drag this out anyways?

They won't stop until they dominate the world and everyone on earth is part of their icults.

Might take a while if they're navigating using iOS 6's Apple Maps.

Calling the iOS 6 maps "hopeless" is seriously darn silly. I'm not trying to protect Apple here, but Apple Maps has JUST LAUNCHED. Google Maps didn't start off so smoothly either. It's so good now because it has been out for awhile and has been improved on a lot.

I'm quite amused with some fandroids in the Internet (not aimed at anyone in this forum), in particular engaget and Macrumors. Some of them love to talk about their "new product which will definitely have some bugs" but when talking about Apple's just-released maps "IT'S A HUGE FLOP. ISHIT!"

Now, back to maps.google.com on my home screen, because seriously right now iOS 6 Maps does suck a lot.

Lol so true but the irony is they're probably using Google Maps.

Stahp.

No self-respecting company would release a product that is so flawed, even on first glance. It's like nobody tested it at all. We're not talking about some random streets here, we're talking about major monuments being misplaced, not to mention the rendering errors.

I'm saying that many people on the Internet are overreacting. It's obvious that Apple WILL update their maps, but people are acting as though its the end of the world.

Let's be honest. I hate iOS Maps too, it isn't that precise and some things really go off point. But is it a major flop? No. Apple will update their maps to correct these. They just need time to correct them.

However, I must admit that these mistakes are extremely off. Unless the one responsible is actually TomTom, Apple really deserves some hate in this aspect. Especially from a company who claims to come out with "Lasting and easy-to-use products, with professional tests blabla bullshit". -.-

The thing is, many people depend on navigation software to go around. Yes, some people can be so easily misguided by the voice of the navigator that such blatant errors can lead to serious accidents. Even when you're not easily misguided, when you're on the motorway, following the map when all of a sudden all you see is a grey blob, you might panic.

I don't remember ever seeing such a mess in a navigator - at least not in AutoMapa, TomTom or MioMaps.

So where do I go to fill a civil suit against apple when my great android phone loses support cause of the apple law suits?

I used to have a Garmin. Since TomTom is such a serious competitor to Garmin, it definitely won't be that bad.

Oh, it appears that Apple is welcoming Ex-Google Maps designers. How impressed I am. Darn impressed. For now I will just use my GS2 or maps.google.com.

Your phone will never lose support because of this. At most it will be banned for sale, but it won't lose support. That's too drastic.

"Oh helllz to da naw!" Really Apple? REALLY? I swear, this company needs to die a very painful death! It's greed like this that just makes me sick. Even worse is that my damn country defends this company like its the only god damned contribution we have left for human society. Ugh!

I sure hope the GS3 won't get banned since I haven't had the opportunity to get mine yet.
