Why people don't like the fact that Apple is using Android features in iOS 7

To be honest, I think a lot of patients should be revoked. Their purpose to allow produces to recoup R&D costs are often negligible when some don't even do the R&D and become patent trolls. This is why is dislike Apple for being a hypocrite. Hopefully they're not around for too long.

You know the case which Samsung lost $1 billion to Apple might get overturned - as a Jury member failed to mention Samsung basically sacked him and he convinced the jury based on his own "patent" experience to vote against them.

There's nothing hypocritical here. If any of these things was patented, you might have a point. Also, you should hope that apple is around for a long time. Otherwise android will become a piece of garbage. Apple and google need each other to drive the market forward.

Absolutely, categorically false.

In my OP, I explain how it's hypocritical. They complain that others use their ideas/features, yet they themselves use others' ideas/features.

I should start another thread...

Why people should stop being hypocritical...

Here is the way I see it. if YOU came up with ideas and it was YOUR company and YOU thought it was so cool you got patents on YOUR cool idea.
YOU would be mad as HELL if someone took YOUR idea.

It's easy to hate on apple. hell nearly everyone here is a android fanboy. but let something like this happen to YOU and it would be ALL different.

Since "YOU" (figure of speech, not directed at OP) don't have any patents it's easy to not get it. It's easier to just blindly Hate since its not YOUR idea/patent getting Ripped off.

(the YOU and YOURS aren't direct attacks on OP)

I know if I patent something and someone Steals it, that means WAR. I will sue until the end of time.

You cannot use your own experience to influence your opinions.

No. Apple complains about people using their PATENTED features/technology and PATENTED design identity. There is a difference.

So you're saying, If I walked into the Apple HQ and a staff member took my lollipop and by some miracle I am on the jury - I can use my own experience with Apples "harsh nature" (of stealing my lollipop) against them? this is why I view that High courts should be judge ruled only.
 
It boils down to the fact that Apple are the hypocrites here. They have done all they could to stagnate the creative pool by buying up every patent they could, which has hindered some degree of advancement in the smartphone industry. Now Apple is taking from others what they don't want to give out themselves. Apple are the ones being the hypocrites.

Except every single shred of any 'bias' raised against the foreman was proven to me untrue. He never worked for Samsung. He never had any dealings with Samsung. He never used his experience to somehow bias the jury against Samsung.

Apple hasn't bought any patents that have been asserted in any of their cases.
 
its not just Android features they have taken, also features from Windows Phone

Are you really so sure?

Editorial: What WWDC 2013 tells us about Apple

In Summary,

1) Early Android had no set appearance. It was mostly determined by user-defined skins. It's virtually impossible to use a design that somehow doesn't bear at least a passing similarity to some feature or design already done.
2) IOS7 explicitly follows what Google told its developers to avoid.
3) I can just as easily argue that IOS7's multitasking bar is a redesigned variation of Safari's page switcher.

In short, I think people are just going to see what they want to see, and believe what they want to believe.
 
Also... If we are attempting to explain why people don't like Apple evolving in ways that remind people of other systems, it doesn't seem to matter if the perception of hypocrisy is true or not, only that it is perceived. This is like trying to explain why one tribe dislikes some attribute of a neighboring tribe's god(s). The factual existence, or lack thereof, of the god(s) in question is not really relevant to the explanation of perception of those same by either tribe... that is, unless one is trying to convince the former tribe to abandon their beliefs. If we are discussing the perception in its own sake or how that perception came into being, unless we have an agenda to attempt to change that perception, rather than merely explain it, the merits of those perceptions may not need proving.

Just a thought... seems like we're having three different conversations dependent on the point of view and motives of various participants.

1. "Let me explain their beliefs."
2. "Their beliefs are wrong, let me show you how."
3. "Because I disagree with their beliefs on a wholly unrelated issue, I assume their beliefs on this are also wrong."
