    It was all thrown out in court. Interestingly enough - Apple has NEVER sued Google, in an American court in regards to its Galaxy Nexus. So that just shows the level of BS Apple is dealing. This isn't IP - this is simply Apple trying to claim money out of Samsung the same way that Microsoft has out of anything that Apple or Android sell.
    and USA courts protecting USA companies over those from other countries.

    FFS the piece of paper and stone (...umm what did they call them, oh thats right) tablet were inspirational to the electronic tablet, its is just the next step/writing technology.

    Mine cost about $1200. Awesome piece of kit. So awesome I need to buy another one due to too many fights in our house. All our next phones are going to be iphones to leverage off the investment in apps and integration/services apple provides. Couldn't care if it was made by Apple or Banana - it's a product that does a great job and well worth the money otherwise they wouldn't get mine.

    Don't you ever play competitive sport?

    Business is business, man. If any bastard gets in your way you cut them down. You swing any deal you can get - as long as it's in your favour. The quicker you get these ideals into your head, the easier your life will be.

    Apple are at it again

    Apple was granted a patent last week that will enable it to wirelessly disable the camera on iphones in certain locations, sparking fears that such techniques could be used to prevent citizens from communicating with each other or taking video during protests or events such as political conventions and gatherings.

    Go apple...

    http://au.eonline.com/news/342984/br...rss_topstories

    Bruce Willis really ticked off at Apple?
    The U.K.'s Daily Mail reported that the 57-year-old tough guy is mulling legal action against the tech giant because he's unhappy that the terms and conditions of Apple's iTunes Store prevent him from bequeathing his extensive digital library to his children.

    That's because, according to experts, the files purchased are really licenses giving users the right to download and listen to them, not actually own them.

    The Die Hard star is said to have thousands of hours of music, including some of his own from his own late '80s pop-blues album The Return of Bruno that he hoped to pass down to Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.

    But if you ask Willis' model wife, the whole story is just a bunch of pulp fiction.

    When a Netizen took to Twitter and suggested to Emma Hemming-Willis that he could just give his kids his login and password to his iTunes account, she tweeted back, "It's not a true story."
    While Bruce may not be going to war with Apple, the gossip at least will get folks paying attention to iTunes' complicated terms and conditions, which South Park famously lampooned a couple of seasons ago.
