How can Samsung be so ill equipped at defending themselves, One quick google search and I can find prior art made by Samsung that looks exactly like the ipad yet was released by samsung 4 years prior to the ipad 1

Front on display (like the court case) this looks exactly like an ipad, dimension wise it could be rather different, but apple isn't complaining about the size are they? Its the look and feel they 'claim' to have developed.
I seriously hope they are going to be sharing their new found secret for FREE for the benefit of the rest of mankind and the planet and are not just wanting fill their coffers with additional profits...
What could be the possible fallout from game developers on this hack?
Would it be possible that potential new and current game developers that are considering the PS3 for games due to its lack of piracy might have second thoughts?
The PS3 has a big learning curve due to its architecture and therefore devopers need to invest more time and resources to program for the PS3 than other systems.
Why would they do that if they can make games for more less complex hardware knowing their work will be pirated on either system anyway?
The only benefit from this would be for users who want to use linux on the PS3 without hardware limitations, Sony can easily open this up making the hack pointless for those users.
But piracy and cheating will run rampant if this goes mainstream, He claimed that it will open the plaform to piracy but claiming "I'm not going to personally have anything to do with that" but it's exactly what hes doing, maybe he wont pirate personally but he is the one who will be solely responsible for all the piracy that will come from it.
