Apple successfully sues Samsung for over $1bn

And the jury were apparently picked from an area about 10 miles away from Apples headquarters. This is not a victory for the consumer. This just reinforces Apple's monopoly.
|
I like Apple goods but this doesnt seem very fair.
|
patenting a "multi touch screen"... not long before they try to claim they invented sound.
|
Apple is a ****ty company, Macs are overstylised pieces of **** that aren't worth the plastic they're encased in and their line of ipods and the like have just become a joke.
|
It seems completely fair to me. Samsung absolutely has been coping Apple, the Samsung phones and their tablets are almost identical copies.
Why shouldn't Samsung be punished for copying Apple? We don't allow people copying designer clothing and handbags and shoes, so why should we allow people copying electronic products?? Samsungs products look almost EXACTLY the same. If i was Apple i'd be pissed off too. The jury made the right call on this one. |

That stinks Samsung should have Won but they are South Korea based. |
Pathetic result, but then again Apple have never liked having competition.

If Samsung wants to compete with Apple why don't they make their own innovative products? Why do they only come out with cheap knockoffs a couple of months after Apple? |

Good :hmph:
Serves them right for trying to be Apple and make knock-off Apple goods. No body touches Apple |

That story forgot to mention how each jury member will shortly be receiving a new iPhone 4 and iPad 2 :D

(and that 2002 tablet looks horrible, it looks nothing like an iPad, it looks like one of my grandma's picture frames. Microsoft tablets failed because they just used windows OS on them, Apple invented a whole new OS for tablets and smart phones, iOS which is what people love.) |
No Microsoft is Apples secret partner in some bits

BiB Lmao stop moving the goalposts just because you can't cope with the fact Apple copied Windows first. So stop getting all high and mighty about how Samsung copied Apple when Apple originally copied some of their ideas from other companies anyway. |

oh please, by that logic Microsoft copied the idea from Star Trek. |

Microsoft release tablet. Apple release tablet. Samsung releases tablet. Apple sues Samsung. D'you really not get where I'm coming from?????????? |

Didn't that old Microsoft tablet use a stylus? A stylus won't even work on an iPad. They had totally different operating systems, and totally different user experiences. The same cannot be said about the iPad and Samsung's copycat version. |

Putting a shiny new cover on it doesn't mean that the original premise is not the same? Even changing the processor doesn't mean that the idea is not the same? The idea was a tablet computer, and Microsoft thought of it first and Apple copied it. |
To be fair to Alex the copyright bid for the tablet format was proved unsuccessful and didn't hold up in court, the case went against Samsung in the touch screen phone area. Although the fact they tried to sue for that (when, as you've said, Microsoft came up with first) is pretty laughable indeed.
The fact of the matter is that once you've created a world of new technology there's going to be imitations, variants and knock-offs. You shouldn't be able to copyright an "idea" any more than you should be able to copyright a "thought". The invention of the Dyson didn't stop other vacuum products, the invention of Coca Cola didn't stop Pepsi, and so on. Unless the exact same technology is used, right down to materials and programming, I struggle to see the legitimacy here, and the whole case just stinks of "we've afforded better lawyers than you". |
Stephen Fry @stephenfry
You may think me an Apple fanboi but these lawsuits give me not pleasure but distaste. Stephen Fry has spoken. Close the thread tbh |
Btw if anyone is interested in the full evidence report, Apple released a 132 page document today: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/08/he...vidence-today/
