Apple Claims New Infringement After Being Ordered To Tell Samsung HTC Secrets
An anonymous reader writes "Ordered to tell Samsung all of the company's HTC secrets, Apple throws a tantrum and adds a bunch of new products to the never-ending list of products Samsung has infringed on. Apple's tantrum stems from a ruling on Thursday that could have a large effect on the Apple lawsuit. The Apple lawsuit, which was filed in February, alleges that Samsung violated Apple patents related to user interface, technology and style. The first decision was found in favor of Apple to the tune of $1 billion, but Samsung is trying to get that ruling thrown out. But as the Apple lawsuit has gone on, the Apple lawsuit has gotten fiercer, and because of a ruling on Thursday, Apple throws a tantrum and is trying to add even more products into the lawsuit."
If I wanted to read bias shit, I'd look up my ass !!
No, just accurate.
> They're not gaining fans with their current behaviour, they're losing them.
Fundamentally untrue, just like the rest of your post.
It is a basic, testable fact that Apple has more fans today than they did when they sued Samsung.
The entire iPad thing has happened since also. Which pretty much ruins your idea that Apple is somehow distracted by suing Samsung over iPhone and is not making any innovative products anymore. In the past 2 years, Apple went from 0% to 30% of the low-end PC market, and somehow shipped 4 generations of iPad already, plus a 5th iPad mini.
Dickish behavior is answering the iPhone 3 years later with a copy of the iPhone made from stolen iPhone plans. That is what Samsung did.
The worst thing about your fact-free post is it reeks of Nerd Entitlement, where you think that Apple should roll over for a belly rub because macho Samsung who can fab chip wants to copy effete designer iPhone features. Well, no. That is not how business works at all. Not how the law works either.
So you're just not operating in the real universe. You're in a bubble of Nerd Dogma like a Fox News viewer is in a bubble of Conservative Dogma. In your universe, Apple is a dick for taking Samsung to court and proving that Samsung wronged Apple. In your universe, Apple is not gaining fans, they're losing them. Well, that is not the real universe.
