Google Seeks US Ban On iPhones, iPads, Macs
theodp writes "Following up on an announcement that it would rid itself of 4,000 employees world-wide and renege on a deal with the State of Illinois, Google's Motorola Mobility unit said it has filed a new patent-infringement case against Apple, which seeks a ban on U.S. imports of devices including the iPhone, iPad and Mac computers. 'Apple's unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers' innovations,' Motorola Mobility said in an e-mailed statement."
If you do patent lawsuit crap like this, they all are black hats.
Only scumbags pull this kind of Patent lawsuit crap.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Google's personality is one where it doesn't agressively go out to destroy the other party
They just want to take away 90% of Apple's revenue. Not 100%, so that's not aggressive. Right? Right????
There are two types of people in the world: Those who crave closure
To be fair, ALL Christians HAVE to be hypocrites, across the board, because their bible is so consistently self-contradictory. Simple example: "Love thy neighbor" and "judge not lest ye be judged" versus "though shalt not suffer a witch to live" and Leviticus 18.
But back to your comment: You're every kind of wrong there is to be. You're morally wrong, because you're being judgmental, critical, and condescending, which is hardly what is considered "Christian" behavior. You're intellectually wrong, because you don't seem to understand that Christianity is not a single interpretation of the Christian bible from which one can pick and choose, but a whole mess of them: Methodist, Baptist, etc. I'm pretty sure that all it takes to be a Christian is a belief in the story of Jesus dying on the cross for the sins of mankind. And you're spiritually wrong, because if Martin Luther can come up with his own interpretation of the Bible and call it a Christian religion, then anyone else is free to do so as well. Your desire to condemn those who define their own spirituality -- "self-reformed" Christians, if you will -- is misplaced dogmaticism.
You seriously do NOT know what a FRAND patent is, and that it can NOT be used to sue someone.
Motorola has NOTHING. Their patents are either bound to FRAND (that one will bite Google ion the arse, eventually. Anti-trust investigation targeting Google are alread launched) or are worthless.
And no. Apple is NOT mostly doing the suing. There are more law suits against them then initiated by them.
Motorola Mobility is the one who started the fight against Apple not the other way around. So to claim that this is due to Apple attacking them is wrong.
I do believe Google started the entire shebang by ripping off Apple's designs, or so says the lawsuits.
The cesspool just got a check and balance.
