Wall of text, TL;DR.
And so it begins, an even more pointless back and forth between two incredibly successful companies. It's never going to end.
I don't get bgr and their apple fanaticism. I like android but I'm not making up crap in support of it like I hear almost everyday about apple.
Just makes me laugh how stupid it is. Hope google gives then a swift kick in the nuts. Bc chocolate chip ice cream sandwich offers virtual reality synch and the new google maps will navigate ur car so u don't have to drive. Will also support Brainwave V3.2x that plugs in your skull so u will never have to talk to anyone ever again. You talk w ur brain!

They just got a judge to block sales of galaxy nexus. Even before trial. Appl has to post a bond before court will enforce the injunction.

If you guys really think that by having "an all out war" benefits the consumer, you've lost your minds.
You know all that talk about how Apple doesn't innovate because they are busy suing? Well, if Google joined in, who would innovate?
Think before you get all childish revenge rage syndrome. All this will work out.
Am I glad this is happening? No. I'm not, but I wouldn't be happy if Google blocked the iPhone either. Competition is good, and stiffling it, NO MATTER WHO DOES IT, is bad.

There is such a thing as defending your business. If Google, htc, Motorola and Samsung do nothing that would be incredibly stupid. Apple will not cease there endless litigation unless companies make it just as difficult for them. Sorry but you don't sound very informed on the subject.

Yikes. I don't care for Apple personally, but I certainly don't wish death upon anyone.
If they really have patents on their technology, then they are doing the right thing by protecting their intellectual property. You just can't go around stealing other peoples stuff. I'm not saying HTC or Samsung or anyone else stole anything, just saying that IF they did - then they are facing their consequences.
The Patent War has gotten out of control with ALL the manufactures. Just seems this is the first that has actually stopped a device in its tracks. All this patent stuff is BS I would hate having the job of making sure a device doesn't infringe on one of Apples, Samsungs, Motorola, Googles, etc's patents. I would be willing to be that just about any device would infringe on some patented somewhere.
BTW I'm currently Patenting how I tie my shoes SO WATCH OUT..
My old blackberrys from back in the day had this feature far before the iPhone. Who grants these patents.

It has gotten out of control. Something so minor should not be enough to block a shipment. Plus, that is a feature BUILT into Android, so they should not be after HTC but Google for that. I think devices that have skins can be attacked more because they added those patent violating features themselves vs. just building from google's source.

The patent they are talking about was applied for back in 1996 and granted in 1999. It is for clicking on a recognizable text string and bringing up a menu or performing a UI action. So, yes, clicking on a telephone number will no longer bring up the dialer, or clicking on an email address will not bring up the email app, etc. Which I think is ****ing bull****. It's common sense that when I click on a telephone number it brings up the dialer. Who wouldnt think of that? I didnt think things that were blatantly obvious were patentable. But I guess if you're crApple you can get anything patented.

Imagine on your home computer, clicking on a link in xda and it doesn't open, just highlights it, then you have to copy and paste to go to that page.
Why would apple be given a patent for this? Its ridiculous and HTC has ALREADY removed the feature from their phones so the fact that they are still blocking them is asinine.

Oh I agree, but that is for the courts to decide. I think it needs to be more in-depth. Like prove that the programming code was stolen or something. Not just that the end result is the same. Kind of like prescription drugs. There are the brand names that have the rights to it, and then there are generics that are the same thing but branded differently.

The interesting thing this time is that they are actually claiming that Android itself infringes on their patent, and they have already previously won against HTC in court. HTC was able to "work around" the issue to avoid the infringement, but they still technically lost in court and were originally found to be infringing on Apple's patents.
My point is, if they are able to seal a victory against HTC in court again, this time they can use the ruling against other Android manufacturers.. This case could turn out to be a very in important one for Android to win.
They're crying because of the IDC report that is putting Windows Phones ahead of them in worldwide market share by 2016. It's like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum when they get bad news. Might as well go after HTC since they made the modifications last time.

Anytime someone tries to tell you that free-market capitalism leads to monopolies, use Apple as an example against that.
Apple is becoming a monopoly because governments and their courts are allowing them to. These cases should be thrown out of court, but I'm guessing Apple has influential connections and allies.

Yes this may never work, but currently at the end of my shift at work, and I started thinking what would really show people what's going on behind the scenes with Apple suing HTC and Samsung. And this is the idea that I came up with, with the idea that it probably would never work, but hey its just a thought lol.
We've seen HTC comparing itself to Samsungs GSIII, just trying to compare itself. What if HTC and Samsung did it together with Google as the head supporter of Android, with a headline of something around, "Apple's run scared, attempting to ban these phones from you." Or "Meet the phones that Apple is terrified off..." Something in that sense to stir up curiousity and interest in. And on my mind, YMMV, I picture the OG EVO commercials with the Andrioids flying around the phone and showing it off with quotes from reviews.
But in the end, a for more info go to here, to show the potential customer what is going on since none of Apple's lawsuits are very big in the news unfortunately.
Obviously HTC and Sammy fans don't get along too well, but the Android OEMS seriously need to stick together for some time if they're ever going to have a chance if Apple keeps chipping away at them with court.
Reminder, this is just my personal opinion, but please share what you think of it. Or what you would add / change because I'm curious of this would ever be a true way to really give Apple some SERIOUSLY BAD PR, or if I'm just some nut case, who needs to get a job with daytime hours lol.

Apple will always have their hardcore followers. No matter how much better my EVO LTE is the hardcore apple-ites will say Apple has better blah blah blah. And they will inevitably say "that's the phone that violated all the apple patents!" *snarl/*
Anyways, I like your idea. Don't think it's gonna happen though.
You know the iPhone's use of google maps generates 40% of Google's income? And now that Apple is deciding to make its own map app to replace Google maps as the default in iPhone it seems like an all out break in the companies.
Apple isn't innovating anymore, all they're doing is filing stupid patents and suing. They'll probably win because they are on top and have the $ to pay lawyers where other companies don't.

I don't know what the percentage is but I bet it's a good amount, much more than 2% but no where near 40%.

It would be a much bigger blow if Apple were to get rid of Google search all together but I do feel the maps thing will put a bit of a dent in Google's bottom line.

I agree, I'm just saying it's going to sting a bit at Google. Hopefully it might help them get on the manufacturers and carriers a bit more to make sure they're selling quality products, I love Android but some of the stuff that gets put out there is absolute crap.
I know this thread has gotten off topic so I say to the OP, that might help if Google were to advertize. They make almost all their money off of ads but don't advertize themselves. The carriers do advertize phones a bit but they're more interested in selling you on their network than a specific phone. Not to mention the fact 3 of the 4 national carriers sell the iPhone so they wouldn't put down one of their own products.
Yeah, just came up with 40% off the top of my head because I was smoking crack.

Lol at least someone understands where I'm coming from. I doubt this will ever work but it was just an idea at the time.
But overall, I feel Google needs to help the OEMs stick together, for some amount of time, just to make it harder for Apple to try to make its dream of shutting Android down. Yes it would be hard, but on their current path, they may get their chance.
I laughed at some of the comments, but I guess the question I was trying to get around to ask,
Do you think google and the OEMs should make commercials with Google as the headliner to tell the world what Apple is suing about? I think if the overall general public knew, besides us tech enthusiasts , maybe people would see Apple for who they really are...
Just my two cents, and go!

This is actually what I've been hoping would happen for quite a while. It's much easier to pick them off one by one than to attack a united front. Unfortunately the all-mighty (dollar, euro, whatever) always wins out. If the manufacturers and Google could put aside their differences and come together and attack Apple, I think Apple would be forced to back down. For the first time in 4 years Android's world-wide usage dropped last quarter. It only dropped about 0.6% (from, I think, 51% to 50.4%) but a drop none the less. Symbian had over 50% of the market 4yrs ago, now it's dead. "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" -Winston Churchill

For the first time in 4 years Android's world-wide usage dropped last quarter. It only dropped about 0.6% (from, I think, 51% to 50.4%) but a drop none the less. Symbian had over 50% of the market 4yrs ago, now it's dead. "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" -Winston Churchill

This is what I was aiming for. Google needs to make serious friends, not just wayside acquaintances, to make Android that much stronger.

Want more laughs?
This is obvious if you check out XDA's homepage but for those who don't:
Apple Must Publish Notice That Samsung Didn’t Copy iPad In U.K.
Basically, on their UK site, Apple has to post "sorry, Samsung didn't copy the iPad design". I made apple.co.uk my homepage to see when it goes live. Hilarious.

Hm, when Apple does it, we cry about how messed up the industry is, but when HTC does it, all of a sudden, it's okay.
XDA users; prime examples of the word "tool".

Normally, I agree with you. If HTC starts willy-nilly suing Apple over ridiculous things then yeah, they're no better. However this was a counterclaim against a specific lawsuit that Apple filed against HTC. Basically it's a counterclaim for the court to "take back" what they first said. If indeed the article is correct about it being a counter claim, that is.

I don't take issue with what HTC is doing. I just find it hilarious how XDA users find it to be acceptable that HTC is responding with a lawsuit, seeing as a lawsuit started this whole thing.
I note with interest the top post of this page; "i hope Android takes over iOS".
So, we want competition, but we want the competition to be gone. We don't want Apple fighting the battle with lawsuits, we want the battle to be fought with innovation and good ideas, but when HTC fights with lawsuits, we applaud them as though it's some sort of "revenge". We demonize iOS but fail to realize we wouldn't have Android the way it is without Apple.
...
Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous this is? Probably, I tend to get filed away as an Apple fanboy though, you watch, someone will say that about this post.
I suppose in the average XDA user's mind, we're all soldiers in some epic war, and we need to constantly "rattle the troops" as if we're trying to keep up morale against the big bad Apple.
When in reality, you're just some guy that bought an Android device and you happen to like Android enough that you'll root your phone and flash a different ROM.

It is messed up,
It's a reap what you sow thing, Apple is now getting a taste.
You seem to forget most of us here were affected by Apple's ridiculous injunction, mid-purchase. So yeah, when they're getting theirs, don't sue me for smiling about it.
I'm hoping to see some end to it .vs this never ending litigation.
I want to see what will be said/addressed here about this Patent war:

That's great and all. I'm glad that you feel a bit of vengence for a slight delay in getting your device.
You'll just have to excuse me if I don't take you seriously if one minute you're happy about litigation when it's against Apple but the next minute when it's against HTC you're all up in arms about patent litigation.

Theres a word for people that hate either Apple or Android and they're called fanboys and they are highly retarded considering Apple and Microsoft work hand in hand together they sell each others products so quit *****in they both make quality products no matter what you want to say it's the truth Jesus Christ.
And by the way I've worked for both companies. I did network administration for apples central headquarters here in Austin Texas, and network engineering for Microsoft when I was going to school in Seattle, so I think I know a little about what I'm saying here. Let the flaming begin because it's inevitable

No flaming from me either. Although if your statements are directed at anyone in particular I think you've got some anger involved. But I think you're just making the general statement. I don't like apple because, (while ignorance is bliss) I feel they prey on the less tech savvy their product mark up is ridiculous and they are in my opinion deceitful with their customers, who aren't as tech savvy subtly convincing them that (as am example) they must buy the $50 apple brand fm transmitter rather than the $5 non-apple one that does the same thing. And similar such stuff, now... Do I think that Microsoft is righteous and upright in their business practices... Probably not but I do know I bought a $300 Intel Core 2 duo laptop last year that would have cost upwards of $1200 if it had an apple logo on it and was running... Snow Leopard or wtf the current mac os is.
