Surely that's not a new idea as people have been sharing photos without PC since the dawn of photograpty. Not so different to the complains made about apples legal cases.”
Actually no, we are not ignoring that whatsoever.
All these lawsuits are rubbish. Apple for instance are suing Samsung AGAIN over another 4 hyserical IP's:-
Quote:
“Apple is fighting the Ice Cream Sandwich-loaded Nexus over four patents: predictive text; a data-tapper feature, which recognises data such as phone numbers and provides a link directly to the dialler, for example; a voice search feature that Apple believes is imitative of Siri; and the popular using-an-image-to-unlock feature.”
Now come on! Predictive text!! We all know apple didn't do any one of them first, yet they have the bloody cheek to sue Samsung again? Funny thing is, they wont sue Google who actually make the OS.
Normally apple sues when they 'think' people have infringed their IP. I mean look at the whole Apple/Samsung debacle. Its absolute bollocks. Apple claim the S2 and the Galaxy Tablet look like the iphone and the ipad? What the hell were they smoking when they decided that rubbish? Only a complete fool would think they look alike. They now have more money than the US government. They see a threat and try to extinguish it by suing. Dont you think its odd that not one of apple lawsuits so far have been won?
Its simple really. They are all absolute nonsense. I mean old jobsie dropped the clanger when he claimed he would spend every last cent to destroy Android. But he really didn't have the balls to do it did he? Instead of trying to sue google they keep going after Samsung as they are the biggest threat to apple.
Like i said before. its about time the judges grew some bloody balls and throw every single lawsuit out by all companies and tell them to bloody grow the hell up.
Anyway, its clear to see whats going to happen soon. Consumers are going to see Apple for what they are. A greedy, manipulative, hideous company and they will come down with a bump soon.
