Fuck Apple

[Scuba_Steve]

Fear not Samsung/Android fanbois & Apple haters. Samsung (as expected) will be appealing

Update: As expected, Samsung has indicated it will appeal the ruling. Wall Street Journal's Evan Ramstad tweets that it plans to file post-verdict motions to overturn the decision and if those are unsuccessful, it will take its case to the Appeals Court.

Hardly surprising.

That is completely over my head. There are enough similarities however to convince a jury, who have heard all the evidence, and since that is the system in which these things must be proven, I will accept it, over your word.

Unless you took part in the design of the software for one or more that is?

The jury were probably a bunch of fucking n00bs. The GUI of an OS does not determine what the OS actually is, that's the job of the kernel. For example, some distros of Linux use a shell that appears similar to OSX, whereas others aim for a more Windows feel. This doesn't mean that the OS is actually an OSX or Windows clone, it's just the GUI. The UI of iOS and Android are very different, and one would have to be an idiot to not know the difference, unless the version of Android was deliberately designed to look like that of iOS.

The typical cager doesn't know the difference between a GSXR1000, R1, CBR1000RR or ZX10R either. They just think of them as "racey type looking bikes". Does that mean those bikes are all copied off each other? Maybe Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki should start suing each other for making the same product. But they're not actually the same, are they?

It's the same as the software piracy laws. Dumbasses with no idea how a computer works are making laws based on some bullshit they heard from yet another idiot.

iOS and Android are so different that it's hardly worth making the comparison. The hardware is vastly different, too. Even though they're both based on *nix, the kernels are not the same, so they're a lot different from one another. Android is based on GPL whereas iOS uses a proprietary closed source platform.

I wonder how many of the jury owned Apple products or were some how influenced by Apple's extensive PR campaign during the trial...

Funny how Apple uses a lot of Samsung's components in the iPhones.

Imagine if the two worked together, we would have technology in our hands that puts what we have now to shame.

No we wouldn't. Apple isn't interested in anything but making money. The don't want to know about open source. All they want is their own proprietary bullshit and to force users into paying for their overpriced crap. Android is good because it's an open source platform.

Let's not forget that all the major companies are currently suing each other (sometimes more than once). They are also careful, as they continue to supply each other components.

For the most part, it's a game to keep the competitors product out of a market so the other can capture a larger share (which is worth more than damages - esp when you factor in the cost of lawyers). Samsung and the Galaxy S III is a prime target as it's exceeding all expectations for units delivered (actually my boss and I have just got them a month or so ago for testing).

Here's the Korean court case info http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/ga...msung-products

Slightly different result to the US one, but then they wouldn't have had a bunch of jurors from San Jose from just down the road from Apple HQ.

IT technology is probably no different from any other product. Most anything that comes out of Asia has been based on an earlier development from the west, apart from buck teeth and round faces.

I suppose it is nearly impossible to get a fair trial, until the jury is made up of people who understand puters.


I still reckon they are very similar in appearance, and since I'm the common layman they are trying to sell shit to, I still think they have a case.

All that said, fuck grapes!

does that mean motorcycle manufacturers could be sued by bicycle manufacturers? After all, they're essentially the same design and perform the same function.

All that said, fuck grapes!

leave the grapes the fuck alone.
