I'm getting really tired of this.
All these companies, including Google, need to file a class action and shut this company down forever.
Piece of ****.
"Can't compete?
Well, we will just sue for stealing even though that's exactly what we do"
Don't see it happening. Something will go down. Apple needs to be put in check. Gets to the point of absurdity.

Seperate discussion but the human race will never evolve to it's full potential until a few things stop:

Because Sprint needs the iPhone to stay competitive.
Think like this...if the At&t BS merger goes through then Sprint will be the smallest of the big carriers....by far...and the only not to have an iPhone.

You hate Apple for this?? this is ridiculous,
If you must hate something, hate the patent office who granted the patents.
Hate the judge who indeed confirmed this was a violation of license.
Apple indeed patented this, and used it in their software (check the mail program in macos for example, it will parse automatically date, locations etc and create events for you, it is sweet and very well done.). Microsoft did not copy this, because it is PATENTED, HTC decided to simply use the patent without permission, who are they that they can steal other's technology while other vendors won't?
HTC violated it. Apple has to protect their assets, what's the point of patents then?
See, same thing with the great instant DHCP stuff in macos, microsoft + linux don't have that. Linux is thinking about doing something similar to improve their product, but they are intelligent enough to simply not steal macos code.
Be mad at the judge, be mad at HTC that they didn't have the R&D to come up with their own so now they'll go down, be mad at the whole Patents/copyright stuff and sure, be mad at Apple for developing the technology and protecting it.
This is ridiculous.

You're right, there's plenty of blame to go around.
That doesn't change the fact that instead of trying to develop, instead of trying to be innovatitve, to keep in the market...they are sinking their claws into any company that they can.
They literally probably had their programmers going through code to try to find patents that might possibly have been violated to sue, instead of having them ya know...program.
It's sick. It has to be stopped.

It might be sick, but this is the nature of the business, it has been this way for years, and every company is expected to defend their own patents/copyrights.
This is the reason you would see other companies buying out smaller companies, sometimes just for a few patents, or get rid of the competition.
In this case, i don't know what Apple and HTC exchanges were, but normally it would go something like:
Hey HTC, you are violating our patent X and Y, please remove this from your product.
HTC says, sorry no can't do.
Apple says, fine, we'll see you in court and have the judge decide.
Judge says, yup. HTC, pay up, or remove that crap out of your product.
This is normal, this is what happens in pretty much any business.
I do like HTC and their products, and not a particular fan of apple, but this is simply Business As Usual. Choose to hate apple for other reasons please.

Google only has so much power. If they want yo offer some of these services they news to cooperate with Netflix, MPAA, etc. I think some of these blogs/people are blowing this out of proportion.
Tapa tapa tapa
The article sounds a bit hysterical to me, going for fearmongering which surprises me coming from Kendrick who I usually agree with. This feels like those Apple commissioned "Android is tracking you too!" articles that came out during the recent iPhone privacy problems.
The fact that both Netflix and Google are doing this only with videos makes very clear what is inspiring it...they are afraid of getting sued by some deep-pocketed movie studio in an RIAA style vendetta because some wizkid found a way around DRM on a rooted device and passed 100 copies of Avatar 5 or something. At the very least that possibility could make the studios deny their content to Android while still suppling it to tight-as-a-drum iPhones and ipads. That would be bad.
This seems like an altogether healthy and intelligent step for Google to take to protect android's future growth. I can't see Andy "Privacy? Where?" Rubin fighting an all out campaign against rooted Android devices...and the carriers won't since they they know rooted phones are a big draw against the iPhone.
This is definetly bloggers just looking for negative android stories to please Cupertino.

i dont think anything will happen for rooted users.
its what makes android / google so unique, Free from the closed source community.
if they where to clamp down on rooted users it would put off a lot of users, maybe making them switch to another OS.. google dont want that.
Anyway, its our device so its upto us what we do with it, we know that rooting voids our warranty / improves chances of bricking, but we do it still...
android is for the experienced phone user, if it wasnt hackable, i dont think we would like it so much

First, I know that it is true, but it is not the first step in an antirooting war that Kendrick tries to present it as. Therefore, it is fearmongering.
Second, since all such downloads go through Apple's proprietary money spinner called iTunes, it is a much more controllable environment than android with the market. Apple has pledged itself from the first iPod to be all about DRM....Google not so much.

Who knows. Corporate lawsuits are always on going and will always be something excepted. Most of the time they are used as a way of stopping your competitors or at least trying to compete against you. Really not very legitimate. Apple is a prime example. They steal from others, like Microsoft has done for many yrs and start legal action. I can't make this stuff up, research it.

havent tried it yet, but from screenshots I guess I can see why people would say that. So were going from xbox looking to winmo7 looking? I guess its a slight improvement... aside from aesthetics, does it navigate better? The thing I like about android is that it will probably change way before winmo does, just like TW will move on from its similarities to iOS way before iOS does... so who cares? As far as lawsuits, it does appear to just be corporate tactics, even if just to get a headline on engadget for a day, free advertising. I love apples one of wanting to see what samsung has coming in the future... looks like apple is developing something new, and this is how they do it!
All publicity is good publicity. "apple suing this" "apple suing that" "apple, apple, apple"

This, not settled yet (patent purchases from nortel still need reviewed by trade commission and fcc), and...
Firstly, love the new market.
Second, good freaking luck if microsoft tried that. Remember, this just the market's new interface. The "look and feel" you're refering to is windows phone 7's entire homescreen UI. Apples to oranges
On a side note; this is exactly why I think that a lot of apple's suit against samsung I going to go down in flames. They're trying to compare iOS's homescreen UI to touchwiz's app drawer. This would make te other half of the suit, that the external hardware appearance of the device's look similar, also somewhat shaky. I have a hard time believing that a judge will buy the arguement that people are choosing one device over another because of the external aesthetics alone (if you go with my first theory that the UI part will be thrown out), considering there have certainly been other devices with a middle select button that were never taken to court.

Apple thinks that they invented electronic devices. They have some pretty wild claims. Glad they don't make cars.....could you imagine that mess? They'd be claiming they invented the wheel, anything with 4 wheels is just copying them. They'd be trying to trademark items like "Sports Car", or "Coupe", and "Windshield Wiper".
They need to be slapped down with common sense approaches in the legal system.
They can't Sue Samsung because Samsung had a phone that looked similar to iPhone before it came out look it up

Good post, this is actually pretty spot on in my opinion. All these apple lawsuits accomplish 2 objectives for Apple as far as I can see.
1) Gets Apples name out in the tech blogs/sites regularly and gets the publicity.
2) Makes software and hardware manufacturers spend more time dealing with public/court/etc. After all, time is money.

As Apple said, its about the "Ecosystem" they don't have to be right...they just have to point fingers....
It kinda works like this, if you keep claiming a person is a "murderer" and spread the word around, people somewhere deep down will partly believe it. Negative news travels faster then positive news. So the general public will gain the impression that everyone is "Stealing" or "Copying" Apple regardless of whether its true or not...

Which phone is this? But I think the problem is that most likely Samsung didn't actually patent the design of their phone. Thats what Apple does. They patent everything in the broken patent system, especially generic non-tangible things like the rough layout of their UI. They even go as far as to trademark the "highway 280" logo for their IOS maps app. Then they go off and sue everyone that relatively may somewhat be sorta kinda similar to them. All this instead of simply making a new and more innovative product. Hey if you can't beat em, litigate em.

yeah its still up in the air to who the next nexus phone is going too.
Well I will probably get flack for this, but here goes. Before you get all happy about this aquisition by Google. Remember who Motorola has been in bed with for the better part of their phone "Greatness" , Verizon . The original we're going to throttle your data, you better not be tethering (even though your paying for unlimited) , if we can't charge you for it you can't do it, we're going to control everything you do on your phone carrier. So even though it's Google new company, the employees are still the old regime. With the old habits, especially the Executives. I'll always remember a quote from one of Verizon's press releases stating " the Companies bottom line is always the most important aspect in considerations involving customers" . I understand this true for any company. But to say it in a press release like that says a lot about how they perceive their customer base. Yes, I understand this is only my opinon
No flack here,you make avalid point

i live in seattle and googles from redmond, theyve been on the news about this quite a bit and theyve even said themselves they just wanted the patent portfolio to help in defending android and the developers against apple, microsoft and the rest of the other bull**** patent trolls.
I see where this will certainly help Google, and Motorola, with regards to patent lawsuits. But how will this help Samsung, and HTC? Is Google going to step in, and say "Get out of here, patent troll....check this out....PWNT!!!"

I'd imagine that since these patents are typically incredibly vague such as "scrolling menus" that if Apple sues HTC or Samsung over infringing on one of their vaguely worded patents then Google could jump in and brandish one of their equally vague patents and say that Google actually has the patent for it, not Apple.

just so yall know i didnt see a splash screen for this new motoroogle or googlerola or whatever you want lol (it has only been a day) so i decided to make one. I posted it on im.nick.hellos new thread for splash screens along with some others i made.
I just have to wait for him to convert them into splash img format and a flashable.
SO GO CHECK IT OUT
BTW: I hope im not hijacking the thread. I dont think i am because it is technically about the thread in a way. but if i am please set me straight!
Edit: In regards to the post above there is no real reason to buy HTC
1)they are doing great on there own
2) HTC would not give up sense and google would not want sense
3) HTC would be like 3X the amount that Motorola was
4)Motorola already had made the commitment to android and that was its sole operating system unlike HTC where they make phones for WP7 and Android.
4) Motorolas patent portfolio is much bigger
5) Motorolas not getting sued lol
Just my 2 cents theres probably other reasons too
Google did it for the Patents
I heard its to help cover their a$$ with apple lawsuits

If he had done any major philanthropic work, I might feel bad for him and wish him the best.
Sorry, but when you profiteer of the exploitation of workers, do little/nothing in direct work towards charitable causes, and sit on unprecedented profits with idle hands, I can't say I feel bad when their god dies.

Actually, Bono has said Apple was the biggest contributor to (Red). And there are plenty of speculations that he did anonymous donations.
What a inhumane and downright crappy comment to manke, about anyones death.
My heart, as an Apple fanboy, goes out to Apple, Job's family, and his friends.

He was a great guy, an innovator. While there's controversy over his products, especially here, he revolutionized the electronic world. Phones would be 10 years behind what they are today.
May he rest in peace. Maybe now he can really make the Jesus phone hahaha

An innovator? He did nothing innovative in the electronic world. there were already mp3 players before ipods. There a were already laptops and PC's before Mac books, and there were already touch screens before iPhone and iPad. Nothing he did revolutionized the electronic world. He was only a marketing genius.

this thread isn't about that. this thread is about his death, and sending his family our heartfelt wishes that they can make it through this dark time.
please refrain from posting negative comments in this thread.

Yeah, they must be broke, right? I mean, hey, Apple as a company only made $9.39B in 2010 (profits, not income).

That would be interesting to see (that he or Apple have done any charitable works), but unless its on paper, it's simply hearsay.
He established a foundation in '86 if I remember correctly, but apparantly the guy who he left to manage it said Jobs didn't seem very interested in maintaining it and was more focused on Apple (which he should have been to a certain degree, obviously if there's no money coming in, how can he help anyone, right?).
But the fact of the matter is, his charitable contributions seem to be nil. There's no reason to hide helping people out. You can be quiet about doing it, sure. But to leave no trail of it existing? Not so sure about that.
And to clarify, if his will ends up giving/establishing charities or anything of the like, good for him and RIP. But until then, I can't feel much for the guy.
There will be no jokes about how the latest iPhone was a the proverbial nail in the... well never mind.
As a innovator he was truly a genius. As a businessman and a promoter, he was second to none. He was a man living ahead of his time. What ever your opinion of Apple, the World has truly lost one of its best.
R.I.P. Steve Jobs
I hate Apple but R.I.P. Steve Jobs
I'm no Apple fanboy either, but it's likely that without Steve Jobs, I wouldn't be sending this message on my Galaxy Tab right now.
He was a bastard. He was also a visionary. RIP. It will be interesting to see if Apple can remain the innovator it was or if lawsuits will be its next big thing.
R.I.P Bro. He made a big change in the world with apple.
My first computer was an Apple ][+
I'll always have respect for the man and his vision, even if I disagree with the way Apple has been conducting business over the last few years.
RIP Steve Jobs - one of the great thinkers of our time.
(oh, and kudos to Google for the link on their homepage)
A person who made technology so popular among common people. RIP Steve...

Really bro??? Come on man, how can you speak ill of the dead? He was a visionary and revolutionized the mobile industry. I'm pretty confident in saying that if it wasn't for him and apple we wouldn't have the devices we have today, as advanced as they are.

It makes me feel warm and fuzzy knowing that people think the same thing as me. TBH, without him riling up the market like he did, we wouldn't have most of the devices we love so much today.

He was a bat-**** insane bastard for a long long time. How does him dying change that?
Im no apple fan either but without jobs pushing tech along and forcing others to improve their own products the devices we have now would be very different.
RIP Steve Jobs
I dont hate him at all. Call him a nemesis. When it all boils down he was an amazing visionary and set the bar for the industry time and time again.

I used "bastard" in the affectionate way.
Rest In Peace Steve Jobs. Technology was dramatically changed by this man. Not just computers, but technology. Respect due.
