| I guess this feeds all the Apple fanboys, if Apple says it's bad, it's bad for them |

Patent infringement is bad from whatever side it comes from. China has done a LOT of piracy, but it doesn't mean that the ones doing the invention need to be punished for it! And Apple has a long history of stealing smaller company and unknown developers ideas and then telling them "SUE US IF YOU CAN!" just because they know these tiny firms and developers cannot handle the costs for a lawsuit. Patents are there for a reason, but it looks like only Apple is the one allowed to protect its own according to lots of the reactions I've been seeing everywhere!! Not talking about you coolcolors though, cause you're cool , but I'm just talking in general | |

There are too many things to read among the thousands of patent applications and lawsuits from (nearly) free webistes like Patent Bolt and Patently Apple these days to keep track of what new technologies and products are coming and who is suing whom for what. One needs a 3-D lawsuit map displaying the various ongoing suits on a vast wall in realtime.

| I wouldn't sign that in every case. Many patents are just trivial and should not have been granted at all.

| Apple may be known among all the Apple fanboys (and fangirls) as the great innovator, but I don't believe they've ever had a completely original idea. I believe iOS was originally based on Unix, and MacOS is basically a UNIX operating system. And the tablet was actually invented by Microsoft about five years ahead of the iPad, but Apple proudly takes full credit for having the first tablet. Microsoft's tablet ran Windows XP and used a stylus, and after no one was interested, Microsoft dropped the ball big time. |

![]() I believe that toshiba used to have those windows XP tablets ... I had my hands on one for a few days (working at a computer shop after the toshiba rep left us one, so we could push it on customers) ... but the touch interface was designed for a stylus & it was pressure based, rather than touch-capacitive ... so it was a real chore to use. Took about 5 seconds for the novelty to wear off.

| What you probably meant that Darwin (the Unix kernel on Mac OS X) is based on FreeBSD. But the GUI is something Apple wrote.

| Even the book meant to praise and deify Steve Jobs described how he and Apple took ideas and inventions by others and got the credit (and money.) Walter Isaacson seemed to know little and had been uninterested in IT but repeated favorites phrases by Jobs as if it were from the Bible. From what I've read on one of the 'Apple fanboys' websites, Patently Apple, they do invent to apply for patents and make profits. Meanwhile, all the Apple fanboys' websites published news based on the Reuters' interview with Richard Posner. Quote:

It's capacitive but still requires a stylus, anoying (or a USB mouse) It runs XP-Tablet Edition suprisingly well considering what it is, a PentiumIII-933 Frankly I use it as little more than a windows based iPod Touch, though I have a 120gb HDD in it. But what these things originally sold for borders on the obscene.

| It's funny how Apple has always sued Microsoft for the same thing? Coincidence or hypocrisy? |
