Apple and Samsung are reportedly in talks to settle all of their patent litigation cases. Perhaps Steve Jobs Holy War will come to an end and everyone can just get on and make phones.

All we are saying is give peace a chance

Makes sense. Google, HTC and Apple have all settled, so it was only Samsung who seem to want the war.

The only real winners are the lawyers. No matter what the outcomes.

Those nukes turned out to be a bit of a damp squib then I'd asked for my money back

Seems sense has prevailed.

More like Apple. You cant help getting things mixed up can you

Who wanted Thermonuclear War on Android? Steve Jobs!

Tim Cook had become weary of legal battles unlike his predecessor. Hope that clears things up for you.

Apple boss Tim Cook said, "I'd highly prefer to settle versus battle", signalling a possible truce in the iPhone and iPad maker's legal warfare with Samsung and other Android phone and tablet manufacturers.

Apple's CEO continued that he'd "always hated litigation". Nonetheless, he couldn't resist adding, "we need people to invent their own stuff".

Yes the amount Apple had demanded had not been remotely near the amounts they had been given. There had been wins on both sides. But on the whole Apple only really got pocket money out of them. However the lawyers had always been the real winners.

Apple managed to settle with both google and htc. Only samsung didn't despite several attempts by both parties. Samsung and Apple now seem to be talking but that might be more to do with samsungs recent court failures, we will never know. Quite how you lay that blame on apple I don't know.

I think the amount of dirty linen aired in public recently has made all parties think again, especially apple who clearly disliked some of their inner fears being publicly displayed.

You really are hilarious or deluded

Apple's latest case they wanted the $2.2 billion and they only got $120 million. Not much difference huh?! Apple probably realise they are not making much progress other than lining lawyers pockets.

Because they have BOTH failed in court cases. There was nothing to gain by this idiotic constant suing from Apple. Apple started the suing, Samsung wouldn't bow to apples ridiculous requests so rightly they continued. That's why the blame lies with apple.

As far as i know. it was apple who approached Samsung to talk now.

I comment on what I feel like. For you to state I have an axe to grind with samsung when you make such silly remarks about apple is ironic at best.

However, I do think samsungs advertising is tacky.

If you think the difference between what one asks for and what they are awarded is the measure of success, I can understand why you think the way you do.

I'll tell you something, the amount of trolling you do on here, you have a cheek to say anything is ironic when all i have is a different opinion to you and 2 other people on here about apple!! I have never once made any silly remarks about apple. I just don't think they are the best phones or tablets, and i feel they have many things they could seriously improve on. You and the other 2 on here disagree and seem to want to constantly question it and cause arguments about it.

You however, constantly make silly remarks about Samsung. It's weird that the only company you seem to have a go at, is Samsung. No one else..... Speaks volumes really.

Every piece of advertising is tacky.

You can tell me what you like. Unfortunately, the rest of your post demonstrates the inflated opinion you have of yourself so it's a little difficult to take you seriously.

Apple can no longer attack google by proxy so continuing with this is probably pointless now. In addition the scope for any further litigation in this area is diminishing rapidly as they know. Trying to copy Apple for any manufacturer would be very detrimental to them in the market given where Apple is technologically.

Inflated opinion? Thats very funny coming from you

I'll tell you what. Drop your silly and constant digs at Samsung and i may take you a bit more serious. Sadly, your name is very apt on here. While you're at it, off you pop and find some of the silly remarks i have said about apple.

It was always pointless! Apple decided to sue everyone left right and centre to stifle innovation because competitors were coming out with much better hardware and a much better user experience. Android took apples crown and they didn't like it.

Thankfully now, common sense has prevailed and they are now going to talk like adults.

You continue with your inflated opinion. I have no need for you to take me seriously, why on earth do you think I need re-enforcement from you

My comments about Samsung (which are actually quite rare) are based on my view of their products (which I own 2 of) and their behaviour. If you feel I've said something wrong, feel free to attempt to correct me.

As for my name on here, what a silly comment.

Oh you do have a need for people to take you seriously! That can be seen from the 'im correct, everyone else is wrong' posts you constantly make!

Quite rare? I was away for a while and didn't have much time to look on here, but anytime i did pop on, your posts had samsung in them no matter what the context of the post was. You seem to have a pop at them very often for some weird reason.

It's amusing you say that your opinions are based on ownership and use of samsung products, yet my ownership of several apple products seems to count for nothing when i have an opinion you or the other 2 here don't like!!

Weird how that works isn't it?

As for my name on here, what a silly comment.

These quotes from Samsung's lead attorney John Quinn made me laugh

According to Apple, John Quinn, Samsung's lead attorney, has never seriously considered the possibility of settling the two companies' various patent suits out of court – what in legal jargon is known as "alternative dispute resolution" (ADR).

"It's kind of hard to talk settlement with a jihadist," Quinn reportedly told Apple. Asked about Samsung's chances of success in the courts, Quinn is said to have compared Cupertino's lawsuits to an unpopular war, saying, "This is Apple's Vietnam, and people are sick of it."

I really have no need for people to take me seriously if they don't feel the need to. I don't come on here for endorsement by no bodies on a forum.

You clearly feel you do

I don't think I've ever said your opinion counts for nothing, but I will quite happily question them if they do not match mine. I'm sure you would prefer if everyone just agreed with you, but that is very unlikely to happen.
