I think he was referring to an obligation to their shareholders. You're also thinking of trademarks, and I'm pretty sure it is a troll account.
A fleshlight? C'mon.. Have you seen a Mac Pro? or a fleshlight?
That's a seriously huge... fleshlight.

Leaked? Is that the best they could come up with? Leaked and muck up's? That seriously made me laugh really loud
It says quite a lot, doesn't it.
Dead argument!!
----------
That's a physical clock for heavens sake!
Apple does not make such clocks to my knowledge!
----------
Are you suggesting that Jury's make unmistakably always the right decision?

I think it looks sleek, modern and much better then any of the bulldozes from competitors.
This was one of the main reasons that made me switch. Why must I jailbreak my phone to have that freedom? Why is APPLE so stubborn about this? There are so many jailbroken phones out there and instead of pausing to think why this might me so, APPLE goes to court about it. Sometimes I think they don't give a hoot about what the customer wants, they just insist on doing it their way, no matter what...
Sad and very, very arrogant!!----------
So please sue MACRUMORS, because obviously, the quote system is adding random text. You are a funny man...
If you find the time, please point out the difference between the original and the quote!!!!----------
bbb-4b has kind of got lost in his own argumentation. His post where always about touchscreens!!! Now, all of a sudden, they aren't anymore...

Harland and Wolff
Check what they build if you don't "get it"!----------
When making fun of other peoples typos, you should mybe check your own text before sending it....A fleshlight? C'mon.. Have you seen a Mac Pro? or a fleshlight?
That would a seriously huge... fleshlight.

Are you suggesting that we never stop even if it has been decided in court? Of course people/jurys make mistakes. But did they here? There is just no way to get this right!!! No matter the outcome, there will always be different opinions!
It's not very high considering apple profited $38B in 2013 off $128B in revenue. An award of $2B would roughly translate into "Samsung stole 2.56% of Apples's revenue"... Of course, there are other non-mobile products/services that you would have to take into account, but you get the idea... $2B is not high when you consider Sams mobile sales.
Be careful what you say. The device used to post that comment may have a Samsung component inside it. You do understand that Apple works with Samsung to bring life to various Apple products? The more anti-Samsung people appear the more silly they sound.
It's like being anti-Hitler in the 1940's but driving around in a Volkswagen Beetle.
It's a sliding scale. I hate some of the things Samsung does, on the other hand I own 3 Samsung products myself. I hate that NSA spies on people, on the other hand I love the amount of active research going on in USA. It's not a love or hate game.
What changed between the 5 and 5C? Let's see slightly better better front facing camera. But Samsung doesn't have a patent or license for that. Slightly bigger battery, also Samsung has no patent or licensing for bigger batteries.
The other change was the biggest change, switch from Metal/glass to Plastic (unapologetically). That's the only thing Samsung might have a patent in, the extreme overuse of plastic!
its always going to really look like something. are new shapes still being invented/thought of?
if it looks like anything to me its the DIR-826L but its the internals and space usage that matter more.
I don't understand people saying about Samsung should have pay more. What do they judge on what law, calculation, and what criteria? Your own law? , your own calculation?, your own emotion?, Explain it here before you complain about the justice system and court. If we can't rely on justice system and law this day, what else we could rely on?
But Apple are a paragon of virtue? Not only have they been found guilty of patent infringement themselves, then there was the clock they tried to steal from the Swiss company. Least we not forgot the ebook price fixing debacle.
Another "brilliant" post!!

Thank you very much for your brilliant and unbiased comment...

To me "That would a seriously huge... fleshlight. " is not a full sentence, but then again, I am german. I would have used a "be" in the first part of the sentence, as in: "That would be a seriously huge... fleshlight. "
I'm hoping frameworks like Hood.ie will allow proper offline access. Seems like a much better way to do it, run the app offline at all times and sync when a connection is available.
I know, I use regex quite a bit in our app. We swap variables with placeholders in real time as the user types in a text editor. Since you can't append elements to a text node there's some fancy logic on top of the regex to split/replace nodes as it finds them, depending on what type of element the text exists in. It sounds easy in theory but in practice it's quite complicated. As I'm sure you've encountered, using regex on HTML is more challenging than plain text.
When controversial patents like some of these come up I ask myself this: If this feature was available as a paid addon, would I pay for it and how much? In this case I would as I see value in it's offering.
It's high level and a bit vague, but it's better than most spec sheets I receive. When you really get down to it, API, algorithm, application, are all synonym's from a users perspective.
If you focus on the pieces and not the package it's easy to see prior art in a lot of things. In 1996 Netscape had been out for less than 2 years. The idea of having a GUI based email client link contact info in an email I received to other applications on my computer was bleeding edge at the time. I don't remember having any apps that did this at that time.
Of course it doesn't matter, you are right! You know, Hitler and Joe Bloggs (a guy who killed a guy in an armed robbery) are both equally guilty of crime! Genius!!

I lose any respect I might have for someone when they invoke using Hitler in a post. Especially in an analogy. It's actually pretty offensive.
Copyright doesn't require active protection to avoid "losing" it either: you are confusing the issue with trademaks.

I'm not sure if you're aware of the silliness of your comparison.

Well, then $368 million for just one patent convert a company in Stalin then
