Is anyone else just totally sick of Apple's abuse of the court system? I recently had the displeasure of having to repair a MacBook Pro for my daughter and I have to say that they have what I can only see as built in design flaws. Like the keyboard. You have to replace the entire aluminum top shell when you replace the keyboard... really? Is that really necessary when the keyboard is designed with thin layers that creates a very strong capillary effect, making it just suck up any fluid that comes close? I replaced just the keyboard thank you. Tediuous and annoying but $65 beats $450 any day of the week. F Apple. I now steadfastly refuse to purchase anything they market. These are acts of fear and not much else I think... keep living by the sword Apple I can't wait to see the tides turn

You could just read 8 words over and see its an apple thread and leave... I know it's a crazy concept, and completely against what you want. But its a thought.
OP Note: Apple is seriously pathetic. Even fanboys are leaving apple because of this crap. Which is funny.

Hey Apple, I have an excellent idea:
How about INSTEAD of suing your competition, you make your phones BETTER?
Too bad that's never gonna happen. This Cheapo-Depot company is going to make phone after phone after phone, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. They're going to lose one day, whether they give up or someone bombs their facility, theyll give up, and all of us Android users will laugh at their failure and pain.
The Next Sentence Is TRUE.
The Previous Sentence Was A LIE.

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.

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!

Always though its stupid to generalise people on what OS they use. I use Android for my Tablets and use iOS for my Phones. I must be stupid and intelligent. I prefer iOS for phones, it's much better (IMO) compared to Android. Tablets I'm the other way around, prefer Android.

If you have a problem with wifi on your iPad rub the back with a bounce dryer sheet, that should solve the static IP problem, lol.
On a somewhat related note, I spent 30 minutes in best buy trying to do a price match for a TV I bought the previous week. I couldn't get the girl to understand what was going on so she got a manager after 5 minutes. After the manager comes over I can't get him to comprehend what's going on either. Their system price is the same as the instore prices but he keeps saying it is "online" showing "online prices" yet the price is cheaper through my laptop and phone. Finally he says "when in doubt use a Mac," right then I knew why he had no common sense. After he gets his Mac it still took forever because I had to show him how to navigate the web (he was having trouble clicking links to get to the product page and cart, and also he couldn't figure out how to get to the previous page so I showed him that fancy back button) the product said see cart for price and he keep hitting add to cart with the same result, a pop up box that had a highlighted "go to cart" link right under the "add to cart" button he keep hitting.

I agree completely. Android is not for everyone and neither is iOS. Personally I don't like Apple because you re really locked into what Steve liked rather than what you like as far as look and feel. I'm not going to put anyone down for their choice and don't expect anyone to put me down for what I like. It's all about choice, and those differences in everything make life interesting.

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.
UK judge dismissed apple's claim on the galaxy tab 10.1 looking like iPad; says its not 'as cool' as iPad.

It would be nice if people could understand that these are major corporations that only have one purpose and that is to make money. They don't care about you, they don't care about me, all they want to do is move some product. There is no good or evil, they will cut each others throats to try to get ahead of each other. They would screw over their grandma to try and make a buck and then lie and say it was what she wanted.

It might be nice if you could keep on topic. People are aware that corperations exist to make money. Doesn't mean we cannot take an interest in what is going on with these companies and discuss it. Especially when these companies produce products we like. Discussion is what forums are for! In this case people with preferences for or against the court decision are able to discuss many different opinions related to the decision and both companies conduct before during and after the case

What do you guys think about google glass? Ive used a pair a few times, someone at the university has one. I think they are pretty sweet to be honest. But I keep reading this crazy reviews about how people are going to be using it for "always on" video recording, discreet photos, surveillance..
And then there are the people who think its going to cause car accidents, promote inattention, etc. Others are complaining about the cost (which isn't even released yet) or the lack of apps (again.. not released..)
I don't understand the constant "doom and gloom" outlook the general population and the media have on this. 90% of their information is plain wrong, and the other 10% is misinterpreted..
