1217568 2011-07-18 22:03:00 Microsoft is getting $5 per Android handset sold by HTC following a patent settlement over intellectual property infringement in April 2010 relating to Android. And continuing lawsuits by Microsoft against other handset makers are reportedly seeking between $7.50 and $12.50 per device sold using Android as well. Safari (3993)
1217569 2011-07-18 22:08:00 Microsoft are scum just like Apple.

Its a shame these companies can't just let success depend on the quality and value of their products, instead they have to screw over the entire industry and screw over the consumers, who after all foot the entire bill for the billions spent on legal action.

A hex on them all, And someone rouse Steve twatface from his sickbed and give him a punch in the swede.

1217570 2011-07-18 22:09:00 I will state a reason for my dislike for apple, Basicly they are so backwards and counter productive for the rest of the world. If they cant dominate it, they sue the living sh*t out of it in order to crush competition out of the market.

Not only does that leave the world with a limited market but it also halts innovation because no one is allowed to develop anything else.

Example it with the next gen bluetooth apple have developed. Dont ever expect that to be used in a free, sustainable and innovative manner.

Looking at these patents its quite easy to see that there is no real innovation behind them, nothing is really propitiatory. The fact that every single android device uses it is quite a revelation. To me It is another apple scam in order to try and get everyone else to bow down to jobsie.

aka smart business.

I'm confussed as to why people are talking about counter-suing apple for patent infringements when thats no better than apple suing HTC. e.g. How would you like it if you designed something and someone else copied you. So you decide to sue them over it but everyone starts hating on you because of it. Yeah Apple's doing it for the market domination and the money but isn't that one of the main goals for most business?

I hope Apple wins in court, I hate andriod for the same reason I hate forza. No matter how good it is it's just piggy backing another idea (gt) stealing the market for it and then consumers are left to buy it because the original was kept exclusive (not that Apple was ever goning to do different but idc). Even though you could argue that andriod is different (blah blah blah) it was only created because Apple basically fueled the touchscreen smartphone market. If Apple didn't make the iPhone i serverly doubt that Andriod would exsist. Apple created this market they can do whatever the f**k with it that they want.

That is so of the most retarded reasoning I have ever come across, well done.

Following that line of thought the only car we should have is a Ford, Old henry could have sued everyone off the market after he made enough money to hire a team of lawyers.

And GT didn't invent racing games, what are you smoking? They merely focused on car collecting.

1217575 2011-07-18 23:31:00 I think it's more about how much Crapple are losing out to Android, because someone has come up with a better system that's more open. So we better sue as we don't want the consumer to have a choice gary67 (56)
1217576 2011-07-19 00:21:00 That is so of the most retarded reasoning I have ever come across, well done.
