[QUOTE=barttool;33644003]This whole patent war is fucking stupid as hell. Yeah, you might argue apple deserves it for being a bunch of legal crybabies, but it's fucking stupid, at the end it's the costumers who get screwed because they can't get the phone they want. Oh, Samsung copied the way the phone shows a background when a webpage gets scrolled past its limits, better sue them and ban sales all over the world.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, just proof the current patent system is shit.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;33642314]Maybe now they'll try making new innovative products instead of suing everyone...
Right?[/QUOTE]
The iLamp?

The iDildo, so they can fuck more people.
I'm not sure how I should feel about this. I guess Apple deserves this for doing the same to Samsung, but no company should have their products banned because of some ridiculous patent/law.

Why not, Motorola developed the mobile phone and a huge amount of wireless technologies that Apple are abusing.
Holy shit, they won't be able to sell anything on Europe? That must be a huge loss of money.
I hope they don't enforce a ban. I think what Apple is doing with all the lawsuits is pathetic, but there's no reason to sink as low as them.
when you get down to it you guys are taking sides in a dispute between major corporations that all do terrible things to bring you their product

I hope Moto keeps it as a trump card in-case Apple starts acting up again.
Also isn't Motorola owned by Google now, or is that just the mobile division.
Alright, another ban. Could they now PLEASE move on and actually compete on the market instead of that lawyer bullshit.
Atleast if Apple are banned from ALL of europe, surely they cant sue other manufacturers in european courts? Since they have no product with sales to be damaged?
bam motorola outta fuckin' nowhere.

It's only iOS devices with Mobile Networking (iPhone 2G 3G 3GS 4 & iPad (2) 3G) So Macs, WiFi only iPads and the 4S are still for sale.

Doesn't work that way. It's not like you can pirate something in another country just because whatever you pirated isn't sold there.
And personally, yeah I hate apple, but let's not be ridiculous, at this point everyone is an asshole. Not just apple, not just Samsung, not anyone, just everyone.

The 4S does not have Mobile Networking? How the hell does it make calls?

Magic. It's apple after all.
[QUOTE=BAZ;33643608]I seriously can't wait till the government steps in and stops this. All of these patent wars as a whole are ridiculous, it's killing new-comers in markets as well as they do not hold enough bullshit patents to protect themselves.[/QUOTE]
They're too scared to step in because Apple will sue them for infringing their patent on governing patents.

Haven't you heard? Having an informed and unbiased opinion means you are sucking Apple's cock. At least, that's what I was told last time I tried to give my input in a news thread like this.

[quote] And if you're feeling smug because you didn't see the iPhone 4S in there, that's only because the lawsuit was filed back in April, but it's a pretty safe bet that the 4S includes the offending technology, too. [/quote]

right either you applaud the removal of consumer choice or you think apple fucking over consumers is totally okay.
see i can be a sarcastic twat as well yet it seems clear to me it's a colossal waste of internet bandwidth better spent on porn.
Well they can still sell the other iPods if I am correct

Take [i]that[/i] Apple!
Aaaaaaa
Stop fighting.
It's going from a fucking competition to something close to a faschist dictatorship.
"You can't have that phone because we didn't like what the creator did, have this one instead!"
It's fucking over the customer, as much as I hate Apple, it's out of hand and fucking dumb.
