Apple vs Samsung: Another Win for Apple?

[Zerosuit connor]

I hate Apple

I feel like that comment is completely unnecessary unless this stops you from buying a GNex. And for that matter, retailers are still selling the GNex.

Know why? Cause in about a month it will have an OTA update for android 4.1 that runs at anywhere from 50 to 60FPS.

This story is just one of many reasons why I hate Apple.

I think that the idea of patents are stupid.
It limits other products from doing things that other products can do.
For instance it would be pretty annoying if someone suddenly patented the ability to project holographic touch screens while on the go but only one company can make it and it become overpriced with minimal features.

What if you create a brand new invention, but before you can bring it to the market, a better funded competitor steals from you and sells it as their own idea? You will never see a dime or even an ounce of credit for your hard work and determination.

Patents can certainly be abused (as we're seeing with Apple), and I think it's time we worked on modernizing the system. That doesn't mean we should stop protecting and encouraging inventors altogether.

I own both an Iphone 4S and a Galaxy Nexus. IMO, the GNex is better than the 4s in almost every way (except the camera, the 4s one is better).
They feel completely different, I cannot see anything alike in them. They have absolutely nothing in common. You need to be a complete retard to think that the GNex is a copy of the 4S.

I think I'll be dead before I read that and understand it in full.

Samsung is appealing the injunction and it seems like Google will not get involved.

wonder how much Samsung is going to have to bribe the "system" to get what they want


"oh?...you want this ban removed from your invention?...well...it seems like you're at an impasse ...how much do you feel like it's worth to you?....how much are you willing to pay for it to be...worth our while...?"

anti-apple fanatics are blind to that type of info. they'll pick at anything that apple sues for but really the other companies have been going at apple stronger for years.

The problem is that 20 years for a patent is too long in this age. Especially in software patents (where a program could be patented and rolled out over a year if patent was granted quick). Even for a physical product it is a lot easier to get mass manufacturing in place than it used to be.

Do note that patents don't forbid someone negotiating a price for some kind of tech. Hell, Nokia would have all current mobile phone manufacturers at their knees unless they made their innovations from the years available to all at an affordable price. What Apple is doing.. well that's another story. Software patents are something up to date in general: ideas can be made in several places at the same time, but the first one to patent it wins the game. Not so smart.

I won't even go into physical products since it's completely different compared to software and such. Actually it's completely different in between physical products (ie. computer vs. elevator vs. television vs. bed vs. etc). Some companies actually limit their supply chain and make only a certain amount of products (limits retailers possibilities of lowering prices keeping the prices up and such.. kinda like Apple, but in another way).

Wow, Apple fanboy? The dact of the matter is that this is how apple trys to kill the competition. Android used the notification bar like two years before apple did (why doesn't google sue them?)
iOS 6 Brings over 200 "new" features
*The do not disturb night call feature, was a direct rip from android.
*Reply with message to a call
*Safari Tab Synch, Chrome for android has been using that for at least 2 months before iOS 6 was announced.
*Way more but I've made my point.
Almost all of the core features in iOS 5 were copied from android. Point made.

Samsung also had Voice Talk by Vlingo (Voice Control) before the iPhone's Siri because it came on the Galaxy S2 which was relesed before the iPhone 4S was announced.

and samsung sued apple on 6 different patents.
but the point being is that according to gbatemp, only apple plays this way.

Apple is the only company that seems to think it is the one that invented the smartphone. Apple is the only one who has sued all the major manufacturers.

And how many of those manufctures have their own operating system that wasnt funded by a person that happened to be a chairman at apple while ios was in development?

And how do you know those companies dont feel as entitled. Are you a spokesperson for these companies? As far as im concerned creative thinks they single handedly inveted mp3 players just as an example

Rofl, I didn't know iPhones didn't have that yet? Hell, even my ancient Samsung Reality, a feature phone from three years ago, had that. The thing ran BrewOS which sucked terribly, yet still had that feature.

I think its because Apple seem to be the only one winning injunctions so they look more of the bad guy.

nokia won over the use of wi-fi, g2 and g3 in phones. apple pays nokia royalties for every phone sold.like apple nokia could force apple to stop sales of the iphone in certain countries but they don't because they make money off of them. samsung makes iphone components for example.
