Why Apple Is Suing Every Android Manufacturer In Sight

First time accepted submitter amiller2571 writes "The eyes of the technology world are focused on the epic patent struggle between Apple and Samsung — the latest iteration of Apple's frantic legal battle against everything Android. The iPhone maker has also brought suits against Android device manufacturers HTC and Motorola. Apple has faced criticism for its endless lawsuits designed to stunt competition from Google's Android, but a quick look at Android device shipments in the second quarter of 2012 reveals a key number that suggest Apple is right to worry." Spoiler alert: the number the article focuses on is 68 — as in, the 68 percent of the smart phone market in this year's second quarter that consisted of Android phones.

Yup, that's right kids, basing purchasing decisions in part on corporate ethics is "douchebaggish". Just keep consuming mindlessly and it'll all turn out for the best!

Fucking moron.

So are you saying that Samsung and other android phone manufactures should stop trying to mimic the iPhone and go their own path? That would be great, since there are other features that give an Android phone an edge over the iPhone. Unfortunately good quality handset hardware and seamless OS software upgrades aren't one of them.
