Sale of Galaxy Nexus Banned in the US

Posted by Unknown on from the courts-give-up-and-ban-everything dept.

New submitter busyqth writes "After the injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1 earlier in the week, A U.S. district court judge has now also granted an injunction against the sale of Google's flagship ICS phone, the Galaxy Nexus. Is Steve Jobs laughing in the great beyond? Is this the beginning of the end for Android?" Two blows to Samsung in one week, and now the FTC is investigating Google for misuse of Motorola Mobility patents in relation to RAND standards.

    The Apple haters seem to have forgotten recent history. Since the Apple ][ every Apple design has been copied. When the graphic interface was commercialized the hacker crowd said 'who needs a mouse and pretty graphic screen when a green command line works just fine'. And then Microsoft spent 20 years trying to emulate the Macintosh and now you hackers are all using a graphic interface. Did anyone thank Apple? No, they copied and still copy and all the while put Apple down.

    I think it would be nice if someone besides Apple & Google think for themselves and come up with something refreshing.

    The marketplace has innovators and it has mass marketers. It has leaders and followers. It has companies who invest in R&D and it has cost cutting copycats. I'll support those with R&D.

    I care. I like to see people innovate. If there is no incentive to innovate, then it's stupid to innovate, because innovation involves risk and investment. When everyone can just sit back and minimize their costs by not innovating, instead only copying others as necessary to offset competitive advantages, then nobody innovates. Apple shouldn't be the only company developing these kinds of products. If companies could be secure that their ideas wouldn't be stolen then I'm confident we would see a lot more of these kinds of game-changer products. I want to see Apple defend their products vigorously, see other companies being encouraged to innovate more by it, and then see other companies out-innovate and have to defend themselves against Apple. That's all I want.
