I am terribly upset at the court money wasted on these cases, and the lost sales on taxes. With the economy the way it is, it is NOT a good idea to help companies build monopolies with overly broad patents and out-of-control litigation.

I don't consider myself an Apple hater, but I will never purchase another Apple device after these heavy-handed patent suits. I seriously think judges should have the option to say, "your suit is silly, I'm putting this patent in the public domain". That should discourage companies going to court unless it's open and shut. And the patent offices need to stop approving these overly broad patents.
