Pot calling Kettle black!!! LOL
On one hand, Apple should pay these fines as they institute similar practices.
On the other hand, could you imagine how much cheaper cool tech would be if all lawyers would just leave tech alone?
Oh wow! MacBooks would be what $5 cheaper, MacPro's would be $10 cheaper. Get real. Technology is expensive bc of R&D and fabrication plants. Apple is expensive bc fanboys and the rest of the Borg hive fall for it. I have an iPhone granted (who doesn't these days) but I'd rather control what I build my PC with and what goes on it. It's still way faster than and a 1/2 of what a Mac cost to start. Anyway, off topic...
Patents are here to protect work from being used and the person who was hard at work doesn't get recognition. The one fella that said it best about if Apple infringes it's not a crime but may God protect your soul if you infringe on Apple.
Open your eyes and think for yourself, don't let someone tell you what you need.
FYI - Apple, when is the iPhone gonna catch up with the rest of the smart phones in technology. They all had video recording b4 you were made. How about flash or silverlight. Youtube is flash video but I can't watch flash videos in the browser. WEAK!!!!
Ok bye.

Oh and Im no pc fanboy bc Bill Gates and his MS crew do some stupid **** too, I just know better when not to use an MS Product. Windows 7 is awesome.
