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.

Rotation? You mean the same thing that's been available since before the 6700? Wow, Apple. F**k you.
