That's my point. Apple was within their rights to sue Samsung. Samsung was within their rights to sue Apple. If patents are flawed then they need to change.
But we have had patents since the beginning and to claim that what Apple is doing is outrages intentionally omits the history of patent suits.
Really which smartphones did Apple rip off and why didn't anyone sue Apple? You think RiM wouldn't sue Apple if they thought they infringed on their IP?
Apple creates products people want. If people didn't like Apple's products they wouldn't buy them.
The rest of rant is just pure rubbish:
1. Apple switch to Intel processors because IBM could not meet Apple's supply demand. It was a supple issue, that forced Apple to switch.
2. The term "Workstation" predates Personal Computer.
They're called contracts - Samsung isn't going to stop supplying Apple with parts. FYI Samsung would and have sued people over IP infringement. It happens all the time.
LMOL - you apparently haven't been following Wall Street lately or the financial crisis....how many CEOs of these large banks got fired?
You also realize that CEO pay is out of whack of company earnings and people on the board of directors and compensation boards are made up of the same people who get paid these inflated salaries.
But another way, you work for Goldman Sachs right....
Hate to break it to you Potsy but the Telcos where given Billions of tax payer dollars to do just that. That haven't bothered and the Telcos sued local governments when local governments tried to pick up the slack and roll out wifi in areas that were not being served by the Telcos.
FYI the jury is not the Patent Office. It's not their responsibility to determine prior art. Apple has their patents. Samsung has their patents. That's all they need to know. The jury can decide based on Apple's patents that Samsung infringed. If later the Patent Office invalidates the Patent, then and only then does a jury
not consider Apple's patent, not before.
There are no timelines for verdicts. It can take you a week it can take you an hour. If there is a problem with the verdict the judge, if allowed, can toss it and/or there will be an appeal.
This is hardly surprising. How many times has a Texas jury condemned an innocent man to death on circumstantial evidence with only an hours deliberation....Seriously people need to calm down.
Ummm think again, selling individual songs has generated enormous profits for the recording industry. Even at 99 cents a song, they are making tons of money.
Spoken by a moron who doesn't have a fucking clue. So genius where are senior citizens going to get health insurance? Health insurance companies won't insure old people. Medicare Advantage plans - which are private health insurance - only are available because the federal government provides subsidies.
You are a fucking moron. You said it yourself: "generally healthy family."
Alot of people need healthcare genius. What happens if your child gets sick? What happens of your child gets diabetes? What if you have a heart attack? Do think it can happen to a health person, think again. Cancer, almost a dead certainty.
Nobody expects to get sick but it happens. But hey keep thinking that way. Jackasses like you are the reason my premiums go up.

Apple created the clone market jackass.

Clueless....
Yeah because nobody sued Apple over IP....oh wait.....
They're called contracts - Samsung isn't going to stop supplying Apple with parts. FYI Samsung would and have sued people over IP infringement. It happens all the time.
So why does the Federal Government settle all the time with Goldman Sachs....
"It's a phone and tablet operating system that's on more devices. That's why more people buy it."
Fixed that for you....
Three things:
1. Samsung is not a startup
2. Apple is not a patent troll.
3. Microsoft managed to create a smartphone that does not look and feel and operate like an iPhone.
So you're saying the earth was created in 7 days and is 10,000 years old.

Who's market is being eaten away? Did you see Apple's Q2 earnings report? Apple's market cap is bigger than Exxon Mobile.
Facts don't support your argument.
LMOL - it's not like Apple's earnings say otherwise...oh wait.....

Because it's their job. Perhaps you should take your head out of your ass and do some research before posting inane blather....
By what's being played on the radio? Wow welcome to the '80s....
Ummm think again, selling individual songs has generated enormous profits for the recording industry. Even at 99 cents a song, they are making tons of money.
You mean advertising. Wow what a concept.
Because back in the day that's exactly what happened to senior citizens....
Thank You!

What? What exactly is the small stuff? Good luck finding a doctor that that accepts patients that do not have health insurance.
FYI his numbers were mind numbingly low! Blood tests alone would blow a hole in budget easy.
RTA - system builders were buying the OEM version. Microsoft was losing money because they were suppose to buy retail. Moron.
LMOL - really....
