I have vowed off Apple since the mid-90s. I've actively and
purposefully avoided everything related to them and advised everyone I
know to NOT use or buy their products, including iTunes and QuickTime
software.
Apple is evil. $536+ billion market capitalization. Ever hear the
expression, "Power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely"?
There it is. :-(

"While Samsung will certainly suffer lost sales from the issuance of
an injunction, the hardship to Apple of having to directly compete
with Samsung’s infringing products outweighs Samsung’s harm in light
of the previous findings by the Court."
A Samsung statement said: "Should Apple continue to make legal claims
based on such a generic design patent, design innovation and progress
in the industry could be restricted."
An Apple spokesperson said that "this kind of blatant copying is wrong
and, as we’ve said many times before, we need to protect Apple’s
intellectual property when companies steal our ideas," reiterating an
earlier company statement. The Cupertino-based company did not say
when — or even if — the bond would be posted.
Another reason why I don't buy tablets and why I would NEVER buy an
Apple product either for a phone or tablet. It seems that Apple's war
against Android is still going very strong with the courts sadly on
their side.
How the f**k is this good for the future of computing when the average
consumer is moving away from PCs and to smartphones and tablets?
