Apple Sues HTC Again Over Patents
recoiledsnake writes "Apple is suing HTC again over patent infringement. Apple is adding two new patents to the 20 included in the earlier case while adding additional details to two patents included previously. Although Android is not mentioned in any of the court documents, many of the patent infringement complaints refer to the software rather than the hardware that HTC manufactures, leading to speculation that Google is the real target, especially considering that Android sales are surpassing the iPhone's. With HTC countersuing Apple, Microsoft siding with HTC over Android, and Apple trying to stop import of Nokia phones, it seems like Apple has set off a patent Armageddon in the mobile space."
If we can pay for a first post on Slahsdot, we can pay to have your grandma assassinated.
Food for thought.
Looks like you wasted your money. My grandma already grabbed her popcorn, posted before you, and even managed to die before you could get her assassinated.
So all you're telling us is that you're slower than my grandma.
Food for thought.
Yes, but you've got to buy license.

I don't think you need that E for the acronym to work.

So spice them up a bit!
"Apple iPhone used to bludgeon pensioner, HTC handset used as shield by rescuer!"
"iPhone used as canoe by 14 year old stranded after typhoon!"
"Beowulf Cluster of HTC phones used to cure cancer!"
See? It's like working for a News Corp company!

There is no grey area here.
Only becasue somebody has probably patented "A means of generating shading with an absence of color by setting the R, G and B elements of the shading to identical values between 0 and 0xFF, not including the boundary values themselves which are covered by separate patents".

'Tis simply the nature of magical devices, traveller. One must not lay hands on the precious without firm grounding in the mystic depths of the reality distortion field.
"iPhone used as canoe by 14 year old stranded after typhoon!"
Yes, but apple didn't honor the warranty, since the hunidity indicators on the outside of the phone went red.

I hope the judge makes them Thunderdome for it. I'm willing to bet that, in a life-or-death situation, Steve Jobs sheds his fake human skin and shows his true alien form.
