Apple has absolutely no reason to negotiate anything with thieves, unless it's under legal compulsion to do so.
Though a simple "discussion" sounds innocuous enough.
Apple: "We did everything first!"
Samsung: "No WE did everything first!"
It doesn't even matter anymore.
Apple: "We did everything first!"
Everyone else: "We were doing this stuff when you were borrowing money from Microsoft to stay alive!"

It's kind of ironic that you would post such an uninformed opinion in this particular story. The MS "investment" into Apple was actually the result of a settlement in a patent dispute. It also included MS agreeing to support IE as the default browser as well as the full Office suite on OSX.

Seriously??? Your commitment to Apple leaves me speechless

You're right... it's doesn't really matter anymore. We have so many amazing products today. But don't forget:
Apple launched a new generation of smartphones when everyone else at the time was doing the same ol' thing.
Palm announced yet another QWERTY WinMo Treo just 2 days before Apple announced the iPhone... and nobody else had a next-generation phone anywhere close to being on the market either.
Android phones didn't even come out until over a year after the iPhone.... and the first Samsung Android phone was 2 years after the iPhone.

now, when Windows 8 easily looks like a bigger fail than Vista
My commitment to Jobsian attitudes about tech and competition (which are very effective attitudes) are what should leave you speechless, mostly because they're so damn smart.

Because none of that matters right now. As in now, while the MS/Nokia ship is sinking; now, when the future of personal computing has been so easily handed to Apple; now, when Windows 8 easily looks like a bigger fail than Vista; and now, when the competition doesn't even have a viable tablet after over two years.
In your personal intelligent completely unbiased opinion, what makes Windows 8 look like a bigger fail than Vista?
I think because the tech community at large is complaining about it, because it requires people to change how they interact with Windows in a huge way.
It wasn't funny.
