It seems sort of like the Michael Jordan case. He wears Air Jordans every match even though they're not allowed because Nike pays the fine for each game. Samsung is paying the fine and making a profit still.
LOL, and they wanted a billion dollars? Did Apple get laughed out of court after that demand?
Samsung is the biggest copycat in the history of technology. Their market share is made up of cheap low end phones. Not a fan at all. Not because I own apple products but because they have no vision and nothing of interest to me other than TV's. Ok bye.
The Galaxy S3 and S4 are "cheap low end" phones?

What a world where $1 Billion is seen as chump change.

Check out this video and you'll Apple hasn't done much inventing. Remixing sure, but inventing nope. Sorry, rounded corners don't count.
Good artist copy. Great artist steal.

Oh and for the cheap low end phones...ever heard of the Galaxy S4? Not exactly cheap...
All it takes is willful ignorance and an arbitrary definition of invention in order to believe this claim.![]()
Unfortunately both the person you quoted and the guy in the video are correct about Apple not inventing much.
This was even discussed at TED by Kirby Ferguson:

Like I said, willful ignorance and an arbitrary definition of invention.
Theres nothing in tech4all's argument or Kirby Ferguson's presentation that leads to willful ignorance.
Leads to? The argument that Apple has not invented much is based on willful ignorance - ignoring the things that they did invent and creating arbitrary categories and definitions to dismiss the thing that they do discuss.
For instance, in Kirby's multitouch example, he dismisses Apple's invention of a Multi-Touch implementation based on the fact that multi-touch, in general, already existed.
Exactly, and Apple has done this many times before and continues to do this.
The problem isn't the fact that Apple didn't invent. The problem is that Apple UNETHICALLY uses their power to create a monopoly through a flawed system.

This problem becomes is worse when people prefer to have an allegiance to a corporation instead of tossing it aside and promoting whats best for the consumer. There's no reason to be an 'Apple Stan.' There's also nothing wrong with point out Apple's failures.
That's quite an accusation. And what monopoly exactly have they created?
Yes. Is that a problem?
That's not a fact.
Nice rant. Again, based on your own arbitrary opinions.
What does that have to do with what we were talking about?
They had a BIG monopoly during the iPod's peak. They owned about 85-90% of the market. They swallowed up pretty much all orders of NAND memory, thereby making it impossible for other players to purchase any NAND or even get any at such a price that made it possible to compete. And guess who provided them that large cut? SAMSUNG.
They're pushing for the monopoly via iOS but we all know its not going to happen with Android being an open platform.
Sorry, it most definitely *IS* a fact that Apple hasn't invented many things. Tech4all's linked video already proves that. The problem is now you for being in denial.

Comical how you ridicule others for being biased where you obviously have an axe to grind with Apple.
Time to reform patent law.
