Jury Finds Largely in Favor of Apple in Apple vs. Samsung Trial, Awards More than $1 Billion in Damages

If you put a bunch of people to rule on evidence they don't understand then the way it goes is this way. Apple is an american company and Samsung is not, then Apple will always win hands down in the USA.

This case will of course find is way in to higher court and hopefully there will be some people with the basic understanding of technology that will struck it down.

There is after all a lot of prior works before I phone that invalidates this ruling, Apple them self have stolen the ideas. And the patents ruled upon in this case is a joke in general since its basic human interaction and normal usage of technology that for some reason the US patent office gave away like as much else the US patent office did not understand what it was for.

Only way this will play out in the end is that all customers on all front are the losers especially higher instances stand by this ruling. Because then all real competition is crushed and also no one can develop any kind of phones, computers or any other tech that is dependent on software.

So not even as an Apple owner my self would think this ruling is a benefit for us the customers or the general population of this planet.

Nonsense, the competition has stolen ideas from the iPhone - proper competition is where you go and invent stuff yourself.
 
it's funny that TouchWiz is CLEARLY the worst Android skin. Hopefully this just means more innovation
 
Good!!

And here is what will happen to you when you blatantly steal others IP. Sumsuck, bend over and take it like a man.

Great news for IP protection, and a kick in the head for the fandroids. Happy days.:D

It's bad for everyone, no matter what, but some are too blind to see. Let them celebrate... when they're paying $1000 for the next iPhone, which looks exactly like their current iPhone, the joke will be on them.

No, it's only bad for copycats. Windows Mobile looks nothing like iPhone or Droids.

Too bad. Now Samsung will have to get this money back by charging Apple more for components which is reasonable as this fine is considered an integral part of "the cost of business".

And Samsung / Apple will pass the costs on to the consumer - win!
 
Samsung is having difficulty to take advantage of the situation now. Apple is still holding its glory! :):D
 
A clean sweep against Samsung would show tremendous bias in the jurors findings. Hmm... this is most curious.

Well, betters Samsungs appeal anyways.
 
That's right Samsung. Pay me....
