Apple went crazy (21)
derda: Hahah 1bn for Samsung to pay. Now that's as insane as it gets.
And that from a company that has itself only copied stuff from BSD/Linux.
Sure Samsung tried to copy some stuff as they're jerks. But honestly one billion for a company that has only obsolete and overpriced products.
Where's the lunatic asylum?

Perhaps it's worth $1bn to them to close Samsung down.

Samsung have a lot of behind the scene products. Memory chips is a large part of their operations. There's a good chance that some of their memory solutions is in your computer.

I had to promise my son the IT expert to never invest in hi tech without first checking with him because I usually screw up.

Good picture, how true.
I've tested several phones before buying the Xperia X10 Mini pro and honestly I didn't remark the flip back nor the rounded corners. Still need to check my phone for the back flip which seems Samsung only.
But hey I bought it because:
- I could have bought 10 Iphones for the price of my Xperia
- it's smaller and lighter
- has more features
So saying I would have bought instead is insane. I simply don't have the money for such, sorry. I would have sticked to my 10 years old Sony/Ericsson.
The whole indemnity is ridiculous to the max.

Ooops, 10 Xperia for the price of 1 Iphone of course.

When did Apple copy from Linux?? Please, lets have some links, as I can find no details confirming this "Fact" or is this just a view you're passing on from the uninformed??
APPLE TOOK REDUNDANT IDEAS AND MADE THEM BETTER, LIVE WITH IT!!!
For you information, Apple, under Steve Jobs, took his own OS named Next, a derivative of UNIX, and had that used as the base OS for Macs and IOS, BSD is also a unix based system and is open sourced, so no copying occurred!
Linux is a separate derivative of Unix!
FALSE Facts may have clouded your judgement.

the information companies are like the train barons from the previous century.... imagine it only costs less than pennies to send gb of information wireless and yet we pay approximate .32 cents for it - it is all profit to these the new "Information Barons"
so who are the crazy folk now? - us
for buying at the price they are selling.

Ok, I agree with you that facts should be correct.
But in my opinion APPLE TOOK REDUNDANT IDEAS AND MADE THEM WORSE!!!
Ugly, slow and locked in softwares. Is that the future of computers?
I don't think so. Open Source and Free Software is something worth fighting for.
I could make a long list of excellent programs that you find in GNU/Linux, but can't find in Microsoft's or Apple's products. But I will not do it, you will have to find out yourselves. And sooner or later you will...

I am happy to acknowledge your opinion, but disagree, Apple did not become the richest company in the world by selling poor or useless systems, in fact without Apple you would probably be paying 10 times more for a desktop computer, and Microsoft would play second fiddle to IBM.
Apple produce well designed and desirable electronic equipment, with an excellent customer service.
However, those that don't like or want Apple can always choose something else, such as Linux based systems, I use both Apple and Linux computers, I like them both and feel both have areas they excel in, but why knock something just because its expensive or "in Vogue" ? To me that just smacks of jealousy.

You are someway right again, but all this products, programs, softwares, gadgets and apps hysteria is that good for our cvilization? What are we doing to ourselves when we competing within our own species in this way? Yes, Darwin talked about the survival of the fittest. But do we have to extend that into extreme?
So Apple and Microsoft should compete to death because it would be cheaper for us?
But what about physical products? If you haven't seen "The Light Bulb Conspiracy", it's time now.
And choosing between Microsoft and Apple, I choose the philantropical mentality that comes from Microsoft's Bill Gates. There is nothing noble in getting rich, when so many people in the world live on less than 1$ a day.

Believe me when I say there is nothing good regarding Microsoft and Mr Gates, this man took more than a few ideas from others, got other people to rework those ideas and then started selling DOS, and never reimbursed those who helped build his empire, without Steve Wozniak (Co founder of Apple Inc) gates would never have had a decent OS and certainly never have produced MSOffice. MS Excel was ported to DOS from Wozniak's design of spreadsheet software for the Apple 1. As was MS Word.
But hey, Windows is a mass seller, so it all came good, for Mr gates, and, he does his bit for charity, just watch out if he does take control of satellite technology, because then he will be watching YOU!!!!!!

Maybe you already saw the movie "Antitrust", where Tim Robbins plays Bill Gates. He is developing satellite technology in the film. This is a very underestimated movie.

About the battle Apple vs Samsung:
"Apple Loses Patent Lawsuit Against Samsung in Japan"
Apple Inc. lost a patent lawsuit in Japan as a Tokyo judge ruled that Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) smartphones and a tablet computer didn’t infringe on an Apple invention for synchronizing music and video data with servers.
Apple and Samsung are battling over the smartphone market, estimated by Bloomberg Industries to be worth $219 billion last year, with patent disputes being litigated on four continents.
Apple won a $1.05 billion verdict in the U.S. on Aug. 24, with a jury finding that Suwon, South Korea-based Samsung infringed six of seven patents for mobile devices....
Both companies were barred from selling some phones and tablet computers in South Korea on Aug. 24 when a Seoul Central District Court ruled they infringed each other’s patents....
Samsung retained its position as the world’s biggest seller of smartphones in the second quarter, holding about 35 percent of the market, Strategy Analytics said in July. Apple had the second slot with about 18 percent, according to the market researcher."

Conclusion: We need usable, global patent laws. The current situation is INSANE!
In EU most Apple patents are considered to ridiculous but in US this should weigh one billion...
