http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/08/24Letter-from-Steve-Jobs.html
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve

Is Tim Cook a tight ass like Steve Jobs?
If not , I'll be looking forward to great things from them.

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!
Already saw this but putting my hate for Apple aside...
The tech industry will not be the same without him. Say what you will but the man knows what he's doing. I suspect if it wasn't for the owners themselves, I would own a Mac product. Either a MBP or a iPod but I digress. He changed the way consumers looked at smart phones and created a following that blindly followed, not trying to be mean here but giving credit where credit is due and plus you can say the same thing about Android.
I applaud all that he has done for the industry and I could care less what people think of me in this forums because half of the people here will say "YA OMGZ LIEK ANDRIOD ASOP IS ONE!!!11!"
With that said....
YA OMGZ LIEK ANDRIOD ASOP IS ONE!!!11!
That's a bummer. Jobs has done a lot for the tech world. i'm sure he will still be involved obviously. Now time for Tim Cook to step up and handle the game.

Umm, this has everything to do with the EVO 3d because like I said in my first post on here if the iPhone didn't exist then these bad ass android phones wouldnt be as bad ass because the simple fact that all phone manufacturers and I mean all are always comparing themselves to the iphone. Like it or not but the cellphone world would be nothing without Steve Jobs.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-sues-Apple-over-patent-infringement_id21252
"HTC just filed the lawsuit with the U.S. District Court of Delaware. Wearen’tsure what the 3 patents that Apple is being accused of infringing upon are, but we know that they have to do with the iPhone, the iPad and Mac computers. According to Reuters, HTC is even seekingtriple damages for what HTC is calling willful infringement. HTC is also said to be seeking compensatory damages."
I for one think that these lawsuits are going out of hand. But it's nice to hear that HTC finally has something to stike back after they lost a suit from apple.
Uhhhhh oh... As far as "real" is concerned I do believe that is what **** has just got.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
EDIT: Now that I am home and can type easier I just have to say that out of the context that we are all very well aware of I whole heartedly do not condone such obvious abuses of the patent system and the courts nor do I appreciate the stifling effect this most obviously does have on innovation. If you aren't a huge multi-billion dollar player with a huge patent pool and Google ain't got yo back, well, you are not entering the market. The barrier to entry is fncking astronomical. There will be no more paradigm shifting inventions from little guys...unless the little guy sells his innovation to someone with the money and the muscle and the connections to go to war with the likes of AAPL and MSFT. Monopoly, oligopoly, whatever form it takes...so long as bull**** like this persists there will only be tiny incremental moves forward in technology.
That said, I'm glad HTC is doing this. It is the only way to do big-tech business apparently. Between teh GOOG's fncking gigantic new warchest of patents from the damn near oldest member of the tele-comm market and HTC with counter-suits and counter-injunctions I've got to admit to having a nerd-rage inspired b0nar. I hope they tear the whole fncking system to pieces.
...more realistically, I just hope this IP-based game of mutually assured destruction, where the only way to win is to not play, is seen as truly as absurd as it is and thusly instigates reform...though I doubt it.
Enough being reasonable, off with Apple's head...
I am getting the popcorn ready...this is getting to be fun.
Apple is going down like a sweet muffin...
HTC gonna make some Apple sauce.

I agree the patent wars are quite insane, but mainly because it's mostly apple going after every android manufacturer because they sell a touchscreen device. Google has made it known that patent reform needs to happen now. I think all of the moto patent's are going to go towards crashing the system.
Google doesn't want to take out apple they make too much money off ads on their products. HTC on the other hand I think would like to mount Steve Jobs head on a pike in the front yard!

Why We Troll
At the end of this post there is a comment form, where you can weigh in and tell me I am wrong. If you do that, however—even if you have a great point—you're probably a troll.
I know. You don't think you are a troll. You are simply assured of your righteousness. You're just demonstrating your case. And you're justifiably adamant about it.
Which is exactly what makes you a troll. (Hi!)
Look, there are two basic types of trolls. One is the person who says or does something simply to get a rise out of people, or to fulfill some horrible void in his or her soul. The kind of ****head who harasses women with breast cancer.
But that kind of troll is thankfully pretty uncommon—like the comic book villain who actually wants to destroy Earth. More common is the guy who thinks he's flying the flag for truth and justice, and, in the process, becomes a complete asshole. A misguided villain. Like Magneto.
Trolling is often no more than self-righteousness. It's something people do because they are convinced that everyone who disagrees with them is wrong; they feel so strongly about other people being wrong that they justify and justify and, in the process, transform into giant dicks.
Trolling is an inability to filter: an uncontrollable urge to say "you're wrong." You are wrong about Apple. You are wrong about Google. You are wrong about Microsoft, and HP and Android and Sony and everything else, too. And while we are at it, your grammar is atrocious.
"While it is certainly likely that some people in the world are simply mean, I think that more often than not, mean things get said or written by people who have strong beliefs that they think represent the truth," says Dr. Simon Rego, Director of Psychology Training at Montefiore Medical Center. "And they expect others in the world to agree with them.
"I'd bet the people you call ‘trolls' would have good intentions, and see themselves as good people who are simply trying to help the world see things the "correct" (i.e., their) way. I would also bet that they think that other people are the ones being trolls."
Simply put: When you leave that comment down below, about how I'm wrong and Dr. Rego's a hack and by the way that sculpture's clearly an ogre, it's not that you're trying to be a troll. It's that sometimes we just can't come to bed because someone is wrong on the Internet. We stay up all night, seething. Tweeting. Calling in expert testimony from academics to bolster opinions, and writing missives about how everyone else is trolling us.
Why does that sound so familiar?

This is just insane. Have a look at this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/02/13/apple_us_ban_nexus/
Apple is coming off as a spoiled brat to me and it is getting really annoying. They get to sue Samsung for its alleged rip-off of features but when apple rips off android's notification system no one should sue them!!! Jackasses. :/
I wish Google sues them real big for the notifications rip off and teach apple to shut the f*&k up and go f*&k themselves!
Sent from tapatalk on my Droid X2
The patent system is broke. That's the REAL culprit here because it enables companies to make these ridiculous lawsuits.
I don't think Google would sue over the notifications because they understand that in this industry everybody is going to use a good idea when they see it. Success isn't just good ideas, it's who makes the best product with the idea. I wish Apple would just suck it up and get back to work like everyone else.
This is also really hypocritical of them. A long time ago, Steve Jobs attributed their success to the fact that they're not afraid to steal good ideas.
Also, the fact that they're targeting the Nexus's lockscreen, which is less like Apple's than most phones out there, proves that this is purely competitive, and less about protecting IP.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, sue.
Eh, it goes both ways. There's hardly a company in the mobile industry that doesn't have ongoing lawsuits against them and and started by them. It's just the way these things have been allowed to happen. Yep, ip law is very broken.

These corporations are really not all that worried about these law suits add you might think. For the most part, they continue on with business as usual... (from engineering and business standpoint)
Legally, these law suits are a political game. Apple has an unbelievable amount of money. They are trying to run the legal costs of these companies to run them out of business.
Apple sees a competitor who is actually doing better than them and they try and ban the phone. God, I hate Apple. So what are they suing over?
"Apple is fighting the Ice Cream Sandwich-loaded Nexus over four patents: predictive text; a data-tapper feature, which recognises data such as phone numbers and provides a link directly to the dialler, for example; a voice search feature that Apple believes is imitative of Siri; and the popular using-an-image-to-unlock feature."
This is ridiculous, Apple.
Ok suing for predictive text? Really? How is there's so different from all the other's?

Wow found this on a search of how Apple is Evil. This company never stops with it's lawsuit three file in less than a week. This time it's Kodak, what the hell does Kodak have to do with them? Is Apple this greedy or are they this desperate to prove something? All the parts maker should stop supplying this pathetic company with parts. The idiot fan boys just can't fathom that Samsung builds the components inside these apple pieces of crap. The best parts of these dumb phones is probably the Samsung parts. The idiots that run this company is just that idiots, following a God they name as the DEVIL JOBS. Maybe Jobs is the anti Christ remember they said he would be back and when he dies he will deceive the people with his charm and then Armageddon?
Jerk off of the year!
Breaking news:
Apple wants to file patent lawsuit against Kodak, fully aware that Kodak's bankrupt
This reminds me of an awesome quote from the Sitcom Scrubs (Edited to fit the scenario)
Apple: This Friday I am receiving an award from the AMA..
Dr. Cox (interrupting him): Jerk-off of the year.. no.. bastard of the year.. don't you tell me.. "Guy I despise so much I'd pay someone to kill you and stuff you and leave you by my bed so that when I wake up in the morning I gotto roll over and punch you in the face"... of the year.
Nothing Personal but i dont think emails are gona work. but word of mouth might. I am the local "tech guy" to my family friends, church etc.. etc..
Maybe apple will start listening if we spread the awful truth about their business practices beyond the techblogs and into the twittersphere and facebook streams. I wrote a letter to apple and intend to post it everyday on facebook, and to every public account apple has on social networks.
They may not care about us but they'll start listening of we are changing the minds of others who ask us for advice.

Don't forget that apple's products states "designed in California" when actually their engineering HQ is in Nevada. That slimeball move was to avoid California state taxes. They also outsource all their work to foreign countries and pay them in slave wages just like Nike, robbing real Americans job opportunities.

One thing that helped last time maintaining composure these people will piss you off some so much because they really will not give a crap stay focused on one thing writing what you say don't send repetitive things spam etc on fb although the spamming did take over htcs page lol
But we need to get everyday users to join in that means educating them to what we know .
Eg on htc fb yesterday people still asking when the evolte will drop they had no idea so getting a large following helps ..
Edit : it took 11 days start to finish to get htc to change its policy and 5 months to implementation of unlocking luckily its not that difficult in this case .

Most OEM's offer licensing deals for patent infringement, whereas apple wants to shut them out of the market completely. Apple knows they are going to lose this war just as they lost the desktop war during the 90's, they just want to delay the inevitable.
Are you kidding me?

are you f***ing kidding me apple?!?
that is so dumb... how are so many people oblivious to the things apple are doing, and just buying every product they make, year after year?!?
Thats just so iLame
Whats even worse than Apple's "ethics" is the "ethics" of the judge in this case. Either she is a complete moron or Apple has slipped her some money under the table....
I guess the HUGE ****ing Apple logo on the back of their devices isn't enough to distinguish the two devices. They're literally digging themselves a grave...
Can't they claim patent for the 3.5" didee screen; they can have that one.

I do not like apple any more than the rest of us but . . . When somebody wins you have to give them their due.
Really, I expect that the judge did the best that could be done given the evidence. Samsung maybe pushed the limit a little to closely and didn't pull it off. Samsung has the edge anyway - except maybe not the size niche it would like. I think they'll get a lot closer after yesterday . . .
About time. Go get them Apple.:thumbup:

So.... now nothing can be made with a rectangle shape with curved sides? Give me a freakin break.
Having a bunch of fan boys/gals buy every piece of crap they make like drones isn't enough? Now they have to try and take away the competition because the "sides are curved"

That patent pretty much describes LCD TV's, GPS devices, computer monitors.....ect. So stupid. This is why I hate on Apple. Not because I dislike their devices, because of their business practices.
If you think about the size of the companies involved there has to be enough creative talent to come up with an idea that is so different than what apple has it can't possibly be called a copyright infringement. The sooner these companies wise up and do that the better off we all will be.
The Patent Office needs to take some blame here too. Don't get me wrong, I do not approve of Apple's business practices, however, they're just doing whatever they can get away with. They shouldn't be able to get away with it, and that is why the blame should clearly fall on the Patent Office. The PO obviously has a lack of understanding pertaining to the technological field, so how are they the ones determining which patents to grant? They need to step up to the plate and throw away all of the frivolous patents that they ignorantly granted Apple. Again, that's the real problem here, if Apple doesn't have these absurd patents, they don't have all this power that they shouldn't have.

why does everyone hate samsung so much?
Everyone says there products are cheap, but they aren't that bad.
I was thinking of getting
new samsung windows phone 8(sprint for unlimited data) when it comes out
prob a windows surface tablet by samsung
and a series 7(8?) gamer laptop when windows 8 comes out?
anyone want to try to talk me out of it for asus, htc, msi or sager -i don't buy alienware
or android or linux of this?

I actually really like Apple's products. I don't like the mice though, as they are awfully limiting in the UI. I don't like the complete closed house approach they use, but they are big enough to make it work well. I very much dislike their tactics though.
I can tell you that the vast majority of people out there just don't care about who is *****ing (sueing) at who etc. They just think Apple is the bee's knee's and that's all there is to it.

I just checked wiki for a comparision between the company I work for and Apple. My company's revenue and overall worth is much greater then Apple's. With that in mind....we had a prototype parts inventory audit last year and the initial numbers came back saying we were missing 1.2 million dollars (US) worth of parts. That became a huge deal. The parts crib went on a 2 week lockdown. R&D stopped. Big wigs from Germany came. 2.6 million dollars is a huge deal to them, trust me.
