Weren't most of the 'vague' ones thrown out, ie: iPad design. From the article it seems they mostly won on some of the more worthy software patents.

Oh, I forgot Incredible is a 'droid' phone. I should have searched that specifically, as it's much higher spec'd than anything in the search results.

I agree it needs to be done. It's just unfortunate that they should get the money at all.

Maybe you should invent the camerama

Funny how that works eh... "Samsung wins Korean battle in Apple patent war" (Samsung is Korean)

Not really an anal typo - it's a blatantly incorrect statement.

Sue Apple for what? They know better and pay for their Samsung tech. Samsung refused to pay for Apple tech and now the court says they have to. That's the way business works.

I agree, the design is a trend, but two points...

Well considering Samsung won all but one of the suits in Korea, it quite possibly can.

This suit has nothing to do with the capacitive touchscreens (compared to resistive in pre-iPhone phones) that Apple made so popular. In any case, you're right, they didn't invent it.

Really? You don't think one of these copied the other, at all?

Why is it bad? Because Samsung might have to innovate now? Seems good to me.

If Samsung and their team of overly paid lawyers could not prove that, I highly doubt you can either - especially considering you didn't offer a shred of evidence, just opinion, which frankly, doesn't matter in a court of law.

Why would you have less choices? It used to be you can choose between an iPhone that does everything one way or a Samsung that does everything the same way - not much of a choice there. Now, you'll get to choose between the iPhone that does everything one way and the Samsung that does everything a different way, the…

Can you show me a video of this wonderous pinch zoom feature you speak of? As far as I remember, Apple invented pinch to zoom and it's the smoothest and best pinch to zoom that exists, plus you have the double tap to zoom intuitively to the content size (which I honestly prefer much more than pinch to zoom).

30 seconds would be good for a panarama, but notice it's called camalapse. It's for time lapse photography, 30 seconds would make one shitty timelapse.

Only problem I see with your IGG is that it will probably just inspire the RIAA to think, 'oh shit, we thought he'd just file bankruptcy and we'd never see the money, but if all the little people are going to chip in, we should start suing more people and taking all the little peoples money.'

I completely disagree with this case. But, wouldn't anything over the statutory maximum be what's considered excessive. I don't think the eighth amendment will help him here.

Yeah, but I don't think there is anything wrong with pressing a million CDs and leaving them for people to take freely. It's only when you sell copies that it's illegal, correct me if I'm wrong. Now, stealing it in the first place, that's the only thing I see wrong, if that analogy were to apply.
