[BREAKING] Apple V. Samsung Jury reaches verdict.


Recommended Posts

I'm not really surprised that Samsung lost, their own lawyers couldn't tell their products apart from Apples in court.

The excuses are funny though (The law is wrong! The judge is wrong! The jury is wrong!), it couldn't possibly be due to Samsung just copying Apple (like their own documents said they should)

In other news today,

Motorola lost its case against Apple

http://www.appleinsi...import_ban.html

This is from April, and doesn't include one non essential standards based patent, plus Google submitted 7 more non essential standards patents that Apple infringes. Don't worry Apple might still very well get banned, though this is really not about justice or law, this is about protecting US stock market and why Apple will be favored by courts despite stealing other companies' innovations which basically shows this whole thing is a farce.

But you know in the end, trolls and this whole BS how Apple is the only innovator won't stop the whole world because most of the world is not as corrupt as US patent system and why Apple can really count on this stuff only in US. They won't stop Android and innovation from stomping all over them. Only at the expense of American consumer.

Watch that TED talk I posted, it should explain it to you why it's wrong. The best stuff starts at 4:40

You can keep on wishing and hoping.

Exactly how I feel.

And this is how it went down with regards to the Samsung lawyer who couldn't tell the difference between an iPad and a Samsung Tablet at 10 feet.

Reuters reports the horrific embarrassment: when a Samsung attorney was asked by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh whether they could tell which tablet was which, what was the response? "Not at this distance, your honor."

Even Apples own icon designer for the iPhone was confused about which handset was which and when trying to explain some of her icon philosophies on the iPhone mistakenly picked up a Samsung phone instead and only noticed her error after someone pointed it out to her.

I have never owned an Apple iphone or a Samsung galaxy S phone but I can tell them apart quite easily as a matter of fact I could probably tell apart a Galaxy S II phone from an iphone with my eyes shut, blindfolded and one hand tied behind my back... what is wrong with people?

At the end of the day everyone is at fault here and most of all the patent system.

BUT THAT WAS A DELIBERATE PLOY AGAINST SAMSUNG!!!!

/s :shifty:

really? she couldn't tell them apart? moron of the year right there.... she should be embarrassed!

They both copy each other, which is why rulings vary wildly from country to country. For instance, South Korea found both Samsung and Apple guilty of infringing each other's patents and banned products by both companies from sale. However, it really isn't surprising that a US court sided with a US company.

This type of theatrics was done deliberately.. you can be 100% certain that the lawyer instructed her to do that.

and if the opposite happened you would find another conspiracy to push apple hate

i am glad of the verdict, it will lead to changes where the UI just wont be a grid of tiles, why i like the WinMo 7 /8 UI alot as well as PalmOS UI to a degree, i like HTC's Sense when not gridded out and has alot of wigets going on.

imo a smart device needs some sort of Interactivity bedsides a grid of icons, something the iPhone and bunch of Androids ( sans widgets ) lack. a Smart device shouldn't look like a kitchen floor with stickers on it

Just goes to show the dishonest tactics of Apple and the disgusting levels they'll go to to win a case.

apple must have payed off Samsungs lawyers for making the same mistake earlier in the case then i guess ?

This was clear when Microsoft collected money from almost every Android manufacturer - including samsung. Apple can now go after every Android manufacturer.wonder who's next - HTC?

bigger question is, what happens to android now? will Google license technology from Apple?

I'm not sure they'd have much of a case with HTC. Sense is massively different from the iOS launcher, the icon design is distinctly un-Apple like if I remember correctly and the devices are designed intentionally not to look like Apple devices.

However given that Sony and Nokia were the only brands mentioned that had a unique design compared to iPhone/iOS, I wouldn't be too surprised. However, my opinion is that the case wouldn't be quite as cut and dry as this one.

I got a question. How is it that BF Goodrich, Yokohama, Dunlop, Hankook, etc...can all make a round...16/17/18/19/20 inch object that is black in color, has a tread, fits on another round object, and from 4 feet away cannot be told apart from another, and yet they don't get sued?

lol true but i'm sure the rubber used, treads etc are patented

Does anyone have the patent on the tyre? Given that tyres have been around forever, I would suspect that the patent would now have expired. Or they could all have a broad cross-licensing agreement between them.

Now these brands can patent aspects of their tyre designs: i.e. construction, tread design etc - and then if that was copied in an obvious way without a licensing agreement, then they could be sued.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
