Victory For Apple In "Patent Trial of the Century," To the Tune of $1 Billion
pdabbadabba writes "The jury is in in the epic patent dispute between Apple and Samsung and Apple appears to be coming out on top. The court is still going through the 700+ items on the verdict form, but things seem to be going Apple's way so far. In the case of Apple's various UI patents, the jury is consistently ruling that Samsung not only violated Apple's patent, but did so willfully." Reader bob zee also points to the AP's story, as carried by Breitbart.com, and Charliemopps adds Reuters' take. Reader Samalie contributes a link to a live blog of the (at this writing) ongoing recitation of the verdict. Whether you like it or not, even this verdict won't be the last word.
I guess I better get ready to pony up to Apple for those brownies with rounded, beveled edges I made last night.
sigh. :-(
Not true. We, the spectators get a free show. That's worth something, isn't it?

You don't know the lawyers I know.
Are you trying to say that the lawyer fees will be a billion dollars?
You're right- the lawyers will charge 2 billion dollars.
Well, I'm glad I have some AAPL stock.
A triPhone? That sounds close enough, so they'd still get sued.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Toally agree. It's stupid to think that having competition is good. Clearly, the only smartphone that is allowed to exist is the iPhone. Everything else is a rip-off because it has icons and is rectangular.
I believe typically the fees include your very soul, the souls of your children and significant others, your very hopes, dreams and aspirations, with an airtight guarantee of a certain % of all future occurrences of personal satisfaction. I believe that is fairly typical; some lawyers charge more. It varies.

Did anyone else mistake (honestly and as it ought to be) he above fragment as
In the case of Apple's vicious UI patents,
Really? Then why is Samsung the butt of the joke on shows like Conan?
With rounded corners. Don't forget the rounded corners...
Two of my imaginary friends reproduced once
because corporations are people and deserve to be tried by a jury of their peers?
But the one iPhone guy was probably very fanatical about it.
And the two Android guys wouldn't stop talking about how fanatical the iPhone guy was.
Their may be a grammatical error, misspeling, or evn a typo in this post.
Thats funny. My office of 5000+ is about to buy iPhones for 20% of them to replace aging Blackberry phones. With that they have already purchased mass provisioning and corporate app distribution capabilities.
Guess personal anecdotes only tell a narrow picture of the landscape.
We really only have your personal anecdote to back up the assertion that personal anecdotes only tell a narrow picture.
But in this case the fees include your seoul.

They could hire some Linux guys, they love reinventing the wheel (again and again and ...)

My Gran used 40 personal anecdotes a day, and she lived to be 97...
In a survey of 100 programmers, 111111 thought that duck-typing was a good idea.
You realise Apple patented these things in the 2000s, a few hundred years before DS9?
When they came for the communists, I said "He's next door. Take him away. Goddam commies."
