[BREAKING] Apple V. Samsung Jury reaches verdict.


Recommended Posts

Hopefully this will spur new innovation and Samsung won't feel the need to just copy what Apple has done. Windows Phone although I don't like it, is innovative and looks absolutely nothing like an iPhone in any way and it was created in a post-iPhone world.

It can't spur innovation when most of the obvious gesture patents are upheld. The reason Microsoft does the same thing and is able to do that is because they are in cahoots with Apple.

Anyone else who does these natural gestures (double tap to zoom) and other stuff can't do it now because these Apple's ridiculous patents were voted upheld.

Apple now has weapon to go after everyone competing with them in this new touch generation of devices.

I guess Google should have patented it first? haha

Good. Regardless of whether or not Apple is being anti-competitve elsewhere, Samsung was clearly taking the p*** in my opinion. Maybe they'll hire some real software & hardware designers and create their own style, if they have any money left.

doesn't samsung supply parts to apple? I think samsung needs to play dirty if apple is.

Exactly! Since Samsung does make Apple's processors for them, I'd be like "crap, this batch is suddenly defective and we'll have to have a major slowdown until we fix it" which would totally screw Apple over.

Read what I said before replying. I said MOST...key word here is MOST . I did not say ALL.

i know... the problem is not fixing via software update the design faults that Apple accused, but the hardware design faults.

and yes, the patent system is borked, this court decision just shows it.

More lies. Microsoft aren't in cahoots. They have a cross licensing agreement which Samsung could also have if the two organizations agree the terms and the appropriate compensation (in both directions).

Remember this had already been offered to Samsung, but they chose not to take it up.

Damages time...this should be good.

1 billion, 51 million 855 thousand dollars

Not as much as apple asked for....

What was the original figure? Pretty sure that will get knocked down a few notches post appeals.

If it doesn't, well...

4:08:02 PM PDT Transform: $954,060

4:07:51 PM PDT Replenish: $3,350,256

4:07:40 PM PDT $53,123,612 for the Mesmerize

4:07:30 PM PDT Going through the damages for each phone. More than $57 million for the Prevail. Infused 4G: $44,792,974

Exactly! Since Samsung does make Apple's processors for them, I'd be like "crap, this batch is suddenly defective and we'll have to have a major slowdown until we fix it" which would totally screw Apple over.

And it would totally screw Samsung too. It would be a suicidal decision, and no stockholders will allow it.

it's not about patenting it first. Apple shouldn't even be able to patent things as vague as they do. it's like patenting the way a button is pushed, it's stupidly vague

Great news! Excellent news!

I don't even care if the launch a new iPhone or new computers, this has been Christmas in August.

Take that Samsung, copycat *******!

How is this good news? This nonsense is going to **** up the industry. (I really don't give 2 ****s about either company but this is bad).

Sure.. and they didn't pay anything to each other because Microsoft is one of the biggest patent trolls. Yes, they are in cahoots.

And Apple asking for insane amounts of money for licensing agreement is not reasonable at all especially on such generic patents. Nobody would have accepted that.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
