Wozniak On the Samsung Patent Verdict

dgharmon writes "'I hate it,' Wozniak told Bloomberg in Shanghai today, referring to the patent battle. He thinks the ruling will be overruled. Samsung will of course appeal, and this case will go back and forth for months still, but Wozniak just wishes everyone could get along. 'I don’t think the decision of California will hold. And I don’t agree with it — very small things I don’t really call that innovative. I wish everybody would just agree to exchange all the patents and everybody can build the best forms they want to use everybody’s technologies,' he said."

      We tried world peace once. Then with all their new found free time mankind discovered magnetic monopoles. Unfortunately these did not coexist well with the Higgs boson and the universe collapsed on itself only to be replaced by an alternate universe that did not have world peace.

    I suspect that nearly everyone except the lawyers and leadership wish we could get along.

    Actually I suspect Woz gets a big bitchslap by the legal staff tomorrow morning.
    I further bet he tells them to go to hell. He owns his stock and there is nothing they can do about it.

    Shit man, I dunno if I'd of given that whole quote out and sourced it. You're likely to have to go into witness protection now.

    You're right, at least according to Apple, it's not a patent on a rectangle with rounded corners, it's a patent on ANY rectangle.

    When the judge in one of the cases asked Apple what Samsungs devices should look like to not infringe, they submitted a drawing of a triangular device with a circular screen.
