Time for all the Andoird fanboys to biatch.

Apple has LOST this case in every other market on the planet.

Good, this will make Steve Jobs so happy.

//Samsung owes Apple one Instagram

Seriously, let's here the excuses Samsung apologists!

Apple bought the Judge!
Apple bought the Jury!
Everyone on the jury owns iPhones!
Oswald was a patsy!

Etc.

So based upon this precedent....

Who was the first with a flat tv panel with a trim and mildly rounded corners?

And the rich keep getting richer.

What's so funny is that people keep using the argument "They don't look that much alike."

As if that was what the argument and ruling were about. It was violation of patents. Misappropriating technology. In other words....STEALING.

That is an affront to competition and innovation and why Samsung lost (geez. I just typed Samsunk. it's already sticking)

BolloxReader: Someone won't be selling Apple any more electronics components, methinks.

Won't matter, Apple has been switching over manufacturing to Sharp and LG over the last few months.

LessO2: Time for all the Andoird fanboys to biatch.

Moron.

I will biatch that a farked up patent system has just farked over competition and therefore customers.

It will effect you as well ... as Apple gains strength from this absurd ruling they will screw over their pawns loyal customers with higher prices.

But I'm sure your lack of critical thinking skills just leaves you happy that "your side" won.

Sharp makes things with screens. LG makes phones. They both stole stuff from Apple.

Yes, keep pretending that's what Apple was suing over, and not specific designs and UI elements.

FTA:
The company's four design patents cover elements like the contours and shape of the iPhone.

Is it smart to kick a big customer to the curb right when you need to make a billion?

You do realize there's hundreds of free non-Adobe Flash players on the Android market, not to mention it being bundled in the most popular mobile browsers. In fact, most mobile sites will automatically redirect you to a direct Adobe download, if you don't have it installed.

Doesn't change the fact that Flash has been a POS for a long time, and that HTML5 and WebGL are much better, open standards. I mean can anyone honestly say "I love Flash! It's so fast and well made!"

AdolfOliverPanties: I have never owned or used an Apple product in my life.

I have had several Samsung devices.

Judging from this lawsuit, you probably know what it is like to use an Apple product.

Hooray for the broken patent system!

"You stole our patent for a black flat thing with glass! We want... 500 billion dollars! Or you could let this panel of high school dropouts decide for us."

AdolfOliverPanties: Does Apple make TVs yet? How about PC laptops?

They make Apple TV, and Mac laptops are PCs. So, yes.

However, Apple does NOT make cars.

I knew that Samsung was farked from the start when the judge forbid Samsung from showing evidence that Apple may have been influenced by Sony products when designing the iPhone.

I never thought the iPhone or iPad was revolutionary. Maybe the Newton was, especially given the work that Apple did in cooperation with ARM.

I'm also not surprised to hear the difference in development time for the look of the iPhone versus the Galaxy. Jobs was a perfectionist who never seemed happy with the design. He's always been like that, yelling at his underlings, pushing to go outside of the envelope. Samsung dudes were probably like, "meh, good enough" and released it much faster.

You should try the real thing--it's much better.

Does Apple make TVs yet? How about PC laptops? Samsung makes more than Androids.

Erm, apple makes laptops yes (and in case you live under a rock, Apple's entire computing line is capable of having Windows intalled if you so desire).

Depends what you use it for, i suppose.

Can't say HTML5 is much better, sadly

This is terrible news.

Samsung supplies a good bit of parts to Apple, specifically, NAND flash and a few quirky things that the phone needs.

As long as Samsung doesn't have some contractual agreement that they just signed prior to this ruling that stands for sometime, Samsung loses big.

However, if Samsung can sell products to Apple at market value, then Samsung would be best to purchase more of the raw materials to make the things needed for the iPhone. This would be icing on the cake for Samsung then, since they'd have more of the products needed by Apple, and Apple would have to pay at whatever Samsung deems necessary for the purchase of those initial raw materials plus the cost of the paying for the legal fees.

Your future iPhone just went up in price today.

Why are you complaining, then? If Apple doesn't make the products you use, why all the Apple hate?

I don't see how any reasonable person could look at Samsung's history and say they don't copy from others. What happens when they need to "innovate" on their own?

The complaint is that Apple prosecutes others for copying, when copying is all that Apple's been doing since the Lisa.

Screw Apple, I'll never buy their products because I don't pay for cool.
