Apple grasping at straws again: Apple Claims Android Started With Them

You guys still crack me up. Do you read what you post?

if Apple were to sue Google directly over this particular patent, the could conceivably get an injunction.

That's another case somewhere further down the line, if it happens at all.

It seems to me that it is actually the sensationalized media whom are the ones grasping at straws here. This stuff hasn't even happened yet (and is likely NOT to happen, as Apple needs competition), and you guys are already buying into it like it has. Plus that article (and its source) said nothing about Apple claiming to have 'started Android' (as a whole), but rather only an API that iOS and Android supposedly share in common.

And as far as the article that Thadd posted, from which - by the way - is just seething with objective reporting (love the red eyed Steve Jobs and image captions implying that Apple is going after ALL Android phones, when in reality they're mostly only going after Samsung's Galaxy lineup), most of this stuff only further goes to show that the patent system is broken. Yes everyone has too many patents, and yes Apple has been forced to patent just about everything having to do with their products as well (they even said this during the keynotes for the first release of the iPhone), but it's all pretty ridiculous. Where is the hate for Nokia as they claimed to own the patents for, and actively sued over, the commonly used concept of GSM calling, 3G data, and Wi-Fi on a handheld device? Here's another one, just reported about earlier today, regarding some big names getting sued over some common Wi-Fi and LTE patents (Apple, HTC, More Sued Over Wi-Fi, LTE Patents).

Anyway, Apple is right in pointing out that the patent monopoly is a major issue, but I doubt they were 'crying' about it. If anything, they mentioned one word about it in their testimony, and a few low-level media outlets/blogs took it and blew it up. Then you guys eat it up like candy.

it's a blog i posted, shaun. i chose it because there's no such thing as "objective reporting" on apple, outside of editorial/blog. the review system is about as broken as it is for video games.

Because Apple has wronged me and their elitism pisses me off. My iPod Touch is a POS and it's Apple's fault. You can go back in this thread and read why I hate Apple.

Oh, and to add more to why I hate Apple, iTunes pops up a message every single time I open it telling me I don't have the proper drivers installed and I need to reinstall. I've reinstalled a lot of times trying to fix it, I've followed their guide on fixing the registry and guess what... It's still broken.

I know man, its just that I hate yellow journalism (on any topic) about as much as you hate Apple. One of my largest pet peeves, I'm sure you understand.

And Doc, I wish I could take a look at that Touch for you. I'd fix it for you if I could, my old iPod Touch works flawlessly.

Started to type out a response but then smacked myself twice remembering who I'm dealing with here.
