I think Apple win's regardless '
The Samsung case isn't just about patent infringement. It's about a public display of fire from Apple.
Samsung's feeling the heat and this serves notice to others that Apple designs are not for copying without consequences.
There was a time not too long ago that Apple couldn't afford to protect their IP like this.
Excellent post !
I agree, details aside I expect Apple will win this contest they've started.
It would be nice if after this is over, Apple would return to being the classy company it once was. I've been a very long time supporter, and never been as unhappy with them as in the present.
They had other options than to publicly spew the wild accusations (even if true) they did. Yet with Steve Jobs at the helm, his uncontrollable rage was "out there" for all to see.
I happily used my Macs for _years_ without hearing the criticism of Apple from non-enthusiast friends & associates. Most "innocent bystanders" understand defending a companies products. It happens in every industry. But rarely do companies as large as Apple, have their CEO's come unglued in public.
I would enjoy nothing more than to see Apple settle down & operate by example as the premier company they once were & still could be. Im not alone in my disapproval with their current ways.
They're so busy grabbing headlines & flaunting their financial success, they fail to realize they're being watched by powerful people with massive wealth. Not all of whom agree with, nor are they happy with Apples methods.
But hey! Apple does as Apple wants.
