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."
Yellow screens, "difficulty" making white phones, can't even add a wallpaper to a "3G" phone, flash 10.1 released for all other phones. All this and they are screaming "patents" like SCO did for "copyrights" on Linux.
Looks like you applefags sure got told again
If math cannot be patented, then digital logic, which is binary mathematics, cannot be patented, which makes hardware unpatentable as well. Of course, anyone so inclined, and with sufficient knowledge, can describe anything in mathematical terms, which by that logic would thus invalidate all patents. Certainly, since the one of the foundations of quantum theory is the many worlds hypothesis, which is mathematical in nature, states that all possibilities occur somewhere in the multiverse, all things are also prior art.

There's a lot of astroturf and libertarian nuts in slashdot.
In your dreams.
all the stupid faggots who have ever given a fucking cent to apple. Look, we heterosexuals took homosexual sodomy off the law books so you homos could lick each others penises, so the least you faggots could do would be to quit sending apple your queer ass money.
The iPhone vs. Android flamebait stories are getting real fucking boring, guys.
The people whining about iPhone stories are getting real fucking boring, guy.
iOS vs. Android is nothing less than a battle for the hearts and minds of consumers. Which will win, the locked down environment with the most candy coating, or the Free Software, Open Standards competitor? Personally, I find it relevant enough to follow.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
C'mon folks, you can't be serious! Everyone who is anyone has Apple down solidly in the fag column. Now liberals have done the right thing by pushing for gay rights in the name of freedom from oppression, but Apple using homos are like the Taleban or other muslim nutcases, pushing for an exclusive lock on sexual behavior without understanding the importance of heterosexual relationships, you know, families, America's future, all those little pesky details that produce a civilization that give you homosexuals comfortable bathhouses for your anonymous hookups, and to kick us in the face even when we have been sympathetic to you losers is really some kind of fucking payback.
Maybe Aids is a good thing after all huh?
