Is this how neogafers roll now

My first hate PM ever. Good stuff.

all this over fucking phones? is this what console wars kids graduate to?

THEYRE PHONES. jesus christ.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

We need to start pointing fingers in here, I blame microsoft owning jobs in the 80s for this.

DAMN IT BILL DAMN IT!

 

[Kinitari]

Next few days will be super interesting with this in the news.

At the -very least- this can be used to bring some serious light on the fucked up patent system, more so than if the software patents weren't declared as infringement.

My first hate PM ever. Good stuff.

He's ingnoring you.

 

[Madrugador]

Wow, this is terrible. Patent bullshit.

 

[KHarvey16]

the judge was clearly an apple fanboy and im sure that Apple will give him some gift until he die.

At least pay some kind of attention.

lol

its not rigged, but the evidence was there that bounce back and pinch to zoom were invalid

I don't know enough to say anything, they both made their arguments. Jury decided. Samsung should make better arguments.

 

[kurtrussell]

Some people ask "Greatest pc guy of all time, Gates or Jobs?"


I say "Wozniak." ;D

When in reality, it's Dennis Ritchie

This has little to do with phones....

Engadget flooded with tears.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

All sorts of lawyerly stuff I'd go into if it wasn't dinner time, but I will say this:

Fuck the jury system.

 

[No_Style]

Hug it out people. C'mon.

 

[djplaeskool]

So, $1B and they must cease seals of essentially ALL infringing devices?
Ouch.

 

[DR2K]

The big thing is...

Samsung must take down all phones affected in the lawsuit off the shelves.

ROFL!

Shit I wanted to get some for bomba prices.

ROFL!

They are all basically obsolete anyway, so that's the least of their issues.

Seriously? There's some stupid trolling in this thread from both sides but christ...hahaha

Folks need to relax

 

[RoadHazard]

Kind of reaffirms my belief that putting a bunch of uneducated fools (on this matter) in the jury to decide something as important as this makes no sense. They clearly don't fully understand what they've done here. These things should be decided by people who actually understand them. But that's just not how it works, I guess.

 

[giga]

Has Apple lost any of their lawsuit crusades?

Not a jury trial, but they lost the infamous look and feel case against Microsoft. They lost against Nokia for wireless tech. (Apple decided to settle) They lost against Kodak for their imaging patents.

 

[Nevasleep]

If a private message isn't private, what's the point?

Well there isn't any point to that message, so why should it stay private.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Not a single claim against Apple? It's a joke that it's so lopp sided.

We're doomed to shitty handsets from now on.

 

[mackattk]

nothing is rigged, the evidence was there that samsung copied apple on many a things. It's one thing to say this is bullshit and it shouldn't matter if they did because it's all basic stuff. But the evidence was there.

I guess I shouldn't have said that. But this is kind of mindblowing to me.

 

[Seguin]

At least pay some kind of attention.

seriously, the judge is a chick! not a dude.

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Ask RIM, Nokia and Microsoft how they can think outside the box and make something else. Or even Samsung with the S3 and the Note.

RIM doesn't make smart phones, Nokia trys to make cheap mainstream colourful phones which nobody wants, none of samsungs phones look like the iphone, iphone has similar shape but is small with metal sides. it's like patenting a trash can. Again they look nothing alike. Don't even get me started on software patents

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Free iphones all round

 

[SRG01]

I don't know enough to say anything, they both made their arguments. Jury decided. Samsung should make better arguments.

But that's the weird part. The pinch to zoom had PLENTY of prior art. Why wasn't it struck down? What did the jury see that we didn't?

As already pointed out, this jury was more qualified and tech-backgrounded compared to the Oracle vs Google trial.

 

[freenudemacusers]

If a private message isn't private, what's the point?

If someone sends me a dweeby message like that it won't stay private.

ingnore

welp, enjoy your gaf vacation for being a dick and posting a private message

You say this simply because they didn't come to the same conclusion you did.

Private Message

If a private message isn't private, what's the point?

He should have done his name calling in the thread. You want to go in. Go all the way in. Don't retire it to some private message so no one can see.

 

[LiK]

damages are worse according to CNET

Damages owed by Samsung:
* $2.3 billion and counting

 

[Kusagari]

The big thing is...

Samsung must take down all phones affected in the lawsuit off the shelves.

ROFL!

LOL

This is going to fuck over not only Samsung but so many phone companies.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

But that's the weird part. The pinch to zoom had PLENTY of prior art. Why wasn't it struck down? What did the jury see that we didn't?

who knows. I'm not freaking out like everyone else though. I'll wait for the inevitable "what it all realistically means..." article that will come tonight/tomorrow.

Should be interesting to see how it all went down and what it means for the products/future of certain products.

 

[EvilDick34]

This is beyond rigged. This jury absolutely gave Apple a clean sweep outside of not awarding the full damages Apple asked for. This seriously is going to get owned in appeals courts, there is no way this will stand.

 

[iamblades]

But that's the weird part. The pinch to zoom had PLENTY of prior art. Why wasn't it struck down? What did the jury see that we didn't?

This is the part I don't understand.

Those two apple patents are CLEARLY invalid and have prior art going waaay back.

 

[victreeb3l]

is the galaxy nexus still banned?

 

[evlcookie]

The only winners in this entire case and the 200 future ones are the lawyers.

Fuck I wish I was a lawyer.

 

[3N16MA]

 

[MThanded]

welp, enjoy your gaf vacation for being a dick and posting a private message

Is this some rule I don't know about. We are allowed to send PMs like that now? I'm not going to stand by while someone calls me a dipshit in a private message.

 

[SRG01]

damages are worse according to CNET

That's around the original amount that was specified by Apple.

 

[D4Danger]

Well there isn't any point to that message, so why should it stay private.

because it's a private message. private.

posting them in public should be bannable if it isn't already

 

[Blastoise]

Thermonuclear war has changed...

 

[Mr Swine]

Well does this mean that apple can go and sue every android company that makes smartphones?

 

[phosphor112]

This is fucking terrible. This is seriously some of the worst shit I've seen in a while.

 

[mackattk]

He should have done his name calling in the thread. You want to go in. Go all the way in. Don't retire it to some private message so no one can see.

I would have at least hid his username, but that really isn't for this thread.

 

[gcubed]

lol


I don't know enough to say anything, they both made their arguments. Jury decided. Samsung should make better arguments.

they showed it in action in a product prior to any apple product. thats all they need to do. Jury is dumb

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

This is between the two of you. Who are you to shame him publicly? Got a problem with it, show a mod.

 

[Dizzy]

Bit disappointed to seeing Apple do so well. I don't really participate in phone wars but I know that the Iphone is the most expensive phone available here and it sure as hell isn't the best hardware, far from it and the OS is debatable. Fuck paying more just for the brand name.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

damages are worse according to CNET

wtf why did the verge stop at 1 billion. That's a pretty big difference. Who is wronggggggggggg.

they showed it in action in a product prior to any apple product. thats all they need to do. Jury is dumb

but legally speaking apple had the patent didn't they? I don't know how this shit works. It's all entertainment for me
