Apple / Samsung Court Ruling

[burwil]

The article mentioned email notifications and such. Nothing specific to the notification bar and if it's even a part of Motorola's latest filing against Apple.

Do you own an apple product. They have had notifications for as long as I can remember. The pull down bar is new.

FWIW, they're prior notification "system" was fairly terrible, at least for my uses and IMO.

They have abroad. If anything, it shows how disparate IP law is throughout the world.

True, but don't you think the worst is over for Samsung?

 

[Michael Alan Goff]

You interested in taking a 3-4% pay cut?

Depends.

How much am I making?

 

[burwil]

Google has not been granted the patent.

And as I stated earlier it is not necessarily a condition for a lawsuit. Again the info is out there for all interested readers.

Yes, although them losing an alleged $12 billion in value since the verdict came down can't be a good thing.

In this case, you make 25-30 billion dollars. Or a cut of 1 billion.

Point being, its still a lot of money. And Id be surprised if no one besides the Bank of Samsung feels the loss.

Then heck yeah, I'd be okay with that.

You're not Samsung and I doubt they are OK with it. I'm sure their shareholders aren't either.

Then why ask if your next response is essentially "you don't know what anyway"?

As for the innovation being all software now? I think we still have room for some hardware innovation, aside from battery. Everyone seems to be obsessing over PPI when it comes to phones, but LG recently teased a 5" 1080p screen. Imagine how great it will be to have one of those. Now imagine one of those with high PPI.

The PPI isn't the big thing, but it'll come. The big thing, in my opinion, is taking the screen resolution of 1080 and putting it in my hand.

Anything over 275 is overkill, IMO. The type of device matters as well. The further you have to hold it away from your eyes, the less the actual PPI matters.

If you want to go with marketing speak, technically a 1920x1080 40" screen is a "Retina" display because of how far you are when you're normally watching the screen.

Again, do you know the specific patents Motorola is bringing to this new/updated case?

Contrary to popular opinion, I own no Apple products. I have never purchased an Apple product for my personal use. I did have to use Apple products on a daily basis as a part of previous job.

Those who think it's okay for apple to own patents to finger gestures such as pinch and zoom : what's to keep them, even as we speak from filing a patent for every conceivable way it's possible to move your fingers over the screen so that they leave no other method for us to zoom in without buying an iPhone or ipad? Draw a Z to zoom? Sorry, we own that. Squiggly line? That's ours too.

Maybe they should try to patent every conceivable way to use your fingers on a touchscreen. That would probably open some eyes to the need for some sort of patent reform.

Good point

 

[Johnly]

If you want reform, start a movement. Because it is vapor.

Apple is richer than a number of developed countries. They will litigate and litigate and litigate.....

Of course, that is their last option. The OS is done...not much left to do....

Android came out 2 years before the first iPhone.
How's Android dependent on Apple? Sure iPod was there before iPhone but so was Xoom or whatever the name is

Uhh, no it didn't. Android was in development but was not released until after the iPhone. And the original version of android was closer to blackberry than what it ended up as.

I'm not sure what you're referring to in the last part of your post.

Yes, it is. Google can't sue for them looking similar if its not legally protected.
