Really Harry? Are you insinuating that Samsung didn't innovate anything and simply blatantly copied the iphone? Have you used a Samsung phone recently? There are tons of features that are missing on iphones - things are not black and white, all companies innovate, and all companies get inspiration (or copy, if you prefer) from others. Apple is not innocent of the copying, and they have so much as said it clearly - Jobs was open about stealing ideas.

This case had nothing whatsoever to do with copyright; it was about patent infringement.

Given that Apple are one of Samsung's biggest customers, Samsung still make money even if Apple do take market share from them.

It's crazy. Still I think we should try to do without FRAND I mean company like Apple would have only room to win with it ;D
I don't really believe that forced innovation is a good thing. Just think if this could be expanded to other areas... |

On other hand if someone comes up with something which saves thousands of man years it's their, doesn't help anyone else... It's a good thing we aren't inventing cars now, just think how complicated those would be...

Second, we *are* inventing cars now: Have you heard of TESLA MOTORS? Elon Musk is inventing commercially viable electric cars using the internet-derived software-development methodologies of silicon valley. And he's licensed his technologies to TOYOTA (For the 2013 electric RAV4) and DAIMLER-BENZ. Nothing complicated involved. http://www.windingroad.com/articles/...tesla-model-s/ A bit closer to you, FISKER is building a super-luxury hybrid-electric automobile unlike anything that came before. http://www.windingroad.com/articles/...-fisker-karma/ Patents and copyrights don't get in the way of honest R&D or original developers, they only get in the way of freeloaders, ripoff artists, and plagiarists. None of which are adding meaningful to the sum total of human existence. Specific patents can and should be challenged but valid patents need to be honored no matter how they might "inconvenience" those incapable of original work. In this case, the jury found the patents valid; until the appeals court says otherwise, they need to be respected. Last edited by fjtorres; 08-25-2012 at 06:41 PM. |

Problems is that things like steering wheel couldn't be used by anyone else if developed now if I understood right. What is after joystick, buttons, switches, what after those? What about other ideas like indicators, gears and so on. Just the interface... When the most obvious and best ways are exhausted, we are left with clunky user interfaces...
