Holy cow! All of these ideas were brand new, as of the invention of the iPhone! None of this existed before the iPhone. What's the point of inventing stuff if everybody else is allowed to rip it off? They can still use their blackberry keyboards and the little nub for navigation - they used it up until the iPhone was invented.
Here are the patents and their descriptions

It is not the feature, but how it is implemented. What this is saying is that Samsung just flat out copied, rather than designing it from scratch.
Exactly... I'm really liking how Windows is trying to make something different.
At the end, it doesn't matter that much if the jury says the patents are invalid. The damage is done to samsung, so far the jury is saying: "Samsung, you copied Apple". And something tells me this is what most newspapers will tell.
Don't act surprised. Everyone saw this coming as they are clearly guilty. Should they have the trial in the UN?

Great day for designers. If Apple couldn't protect themselves against thief like Samsung, how could independent designer do it?

A jury finds against a company that blantantly copied the phone, tablet, even the power adapter, box, advertising, even actors, copied the look of the store, copied proprietary connectors. Even wrote giant documents detailing all the effort Apple put into the iPhone and what they needed to copy.
NEVER saw that one coming!!!
Maybe, just maybe, justice will be served. Samsung is a mighty sleazy company. http://www.kernelmag.com/features/report/3028/samsung-power-corruption-and-lies/
True, but since they are finding in Apple's favor (largely) on the design patents, its tougher to argue, even if damages are minimal, that Samsung didn't copy Apple. Remember, even the "best" scenario for Apple ($2.5 billion damages) wouldn't break the bank. Apple wants a symbolic victory first and foremost. They also want the patents to be valid, to force Samsung and others to design around them.

So Samsung's tablets, which haven't sold well, didn't infringe. Samsung's phones, which have sold well,did infringe, for the most part. Telling.

Left side brained people will never understand that art theft is a bad thing.
Jelly Bean doesn't have bounce back on my Galaxy Nexus, they changed it to an intensifying color when pulled. innovation. Possible.
well that could go either way. What if Apple just got fed up with being ripped off all the time and stopped for good? The world would be back on a slow climb with innovation rather than fast.
Speaking as a painter(art). If someone kept ripping off my work I would be pissed off and stop showing it publicly. What if Apple just started designing things never to see the outside world so no one can copy? We lose out because of thieving companies
Is the verge a pro-apple site? They seem to be enjoying this.
Yes. Pretty much so. But they are blatant about it like gizmodo used to be.
