Re: Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 Patents...
I was going to make the same comment, but you beat me to it. At the time, Apple complaining about Microsoft stealing their idea of a point and click interface was hilarious, considering Apple stole the idea from XPARC, who developed the x-windows interface for UNIX.

Re: Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 Patents...
Basically this suit translates to; Other phones are gaining on the iPhone's cool factor, and Apple just can't have that, so they wanna crush the competition in any way possible.
Bastards.

Re: Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 Patents...
I wonder what Apple's only carrier in the US thinks of this? ATT I don't think currently has any Android handsets but were believed to release a few of them this year (along with webOS devices). I wonder if the timing of this has more to do about ATT releasing Android handsets soon then HTC Android handsets in general. If an ATT iPhone customer wants an Android handset, it is a lot easier for them (if they like their carrier) to upgrade to an Android handset from ATT rather than jump ship to another carrier. They don't have to deal with possible early termination fees, difference in coverage, etc. Seems like Apple may be burning the only bridge they are standing on in the US, unless they were planning to release to other carriers soon.

Re: Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 Patents...
I don't give a shit whether or not Apple has the rights to do this, or even if they had the patents first. I can now guarantee you that I will never in my life buy an Apple product, and I will never stand behind them. This is a low blow to a company who has innovated for years and has started to do things BETTER than Apple has, and of course, they feel threatened.
I read the article on Engadget and some of the patents they own are ridiculous. I find it completely insane that some of those things can even be patented. This one here is just stupid: Code:
The '381 Patent, entitled "List Scrolling And Document Translation, Scaling, And Rotation On A Touch-Screen Display," was duly and legally issued on December 23, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A copy of the '381 Patent is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

It is only a matter of time till a company patents breathing and then we all will have to pay royalties to breathe since that company would be credited with inventing breathing >.>

Re: Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 Patents...
I'm going to file a patent for every single piece of possible hardware used in personal computing and see what I can get. Then I'm going to sue everyone. Awesome.
