[QUOTE=Zanfall;31649630]So you guys going to keep fighting over whos toy is better? Thats all these things are. Fancy toys.
Do you go up to kids with Legos and tell them that Megablocks are better and tell them that their brainwashed too?[/QUOTE]
Correction: [i]He's[/i] fighting over which toy is better
I think you nailed it. These are all amazing devices, but that does in no way allow Apple to be sue-happy dickheads. I said i was a satisfied customer, not "LEAVE APPLE ALOOOONE!!1! Dx". I'm brainwashed for having agreed with Mr.ANDROID-MASTER-RACE over there :downs:
Motorola, should name their next product, Ixoom.

[QUOTE=faze;31649092]I think Apple senses their exit from the mobility market.[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry, iPhone may have... Or, indeed, HAS lost its "wow" effect, but keep in mind they still have the biggest music store ever, the [del]biggest Smartphone application store ever[/del][i](Has Android Market passed them yet? I can't recall)[/i], and the most popular media players in all the world. They're still being rambling idiots though. Sue-happy morons or not, they're not letting go of the mobility market any time soon.
I think I've figured out why people like Apple products so much.
It's the shine.
They see that it's white and shiny, they think it's clean and edgy

This just in: Apple sues nature for producing fruits similar to their logo.

Sure, they [I]are[/I] being dickheads, but Apple is ensuring that they are the only company which can manufacture certain (undeniably superior) technologies; a considerably intelligent business movie.

That's not why I'm dumb'ing, dear.

inb4 Faze being an Android elitist and being hilariously oblivious about it.
I am not for patent wars but without patents there is no innovation at all. You don't invent when you can't be sure to get profit out of it.
I hope the EU makes use of its draconian competition rules and actually investigates Apple for being monopolistic.

You know, you're right. I'm going to leave the Android zealots to themselves now. It's been fun watching you contradict yourselves :v:

You're using a Mac, and Safari, therefore your argument is invalid.

Apple can sue anyone with a rectangle with a screen on it. Good job trademarks and designs people.

Guys, guys!
I made this, will I get sued?

Well now that you mention it, I happen to own the patent for that specific shade of grey. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Fun fact: Look in the mirror before you call someone a zealot without any evidence.
If anything, Apple fans are zealots. I faintly recall a study where the brainwaves of Christians seeing a cross are almost exactly the same as Apple fans seeing the Apple logo.
Hmmmmmmm.

I've been using XP and Internet-fucking-explorer until a few months ago, when i was given a MacBook Pro. Therefore your argument is infantile.

(Yeah, the daily mail, but it's a BBC study)
I think they're being dicks for suing Motorola, yet you address me like I'm blindly defending Apple. Don't you just love stereotypes.

I beg you to find any point in my posts where i have acted like a "Zealot". Do go ahead, i won't even tell you to fuck off if you should in some way twist my words to your benefit.
Let me point out your one major mistake here;
You stated you're a happy Apple customer.
Most of the people on this forum really, [I]really,[/I] [I][B]really[/B][/I] hate/dislike Apple (much more so recently) though there are a few Apple users like yourself here. The only reason they don't get bashed for it is because they don't state their love/like/general owning of an Apple product. Most people overlook the useragent info below your avatar.
On the subject, I don't think Apple will ever calm down for this.
Soon enough they'll start trying to claim copyrights on all-in-one computers that share the [I]slightly[/I] same shape as an iMac.
Though that's just my aimless prediction.

Well, it struck me as relevant at the time, and i must say, i had expected a less infantile response, especially from Facepunch. Pity.
Also, thank you for making a coherent post without telling me I'm brainwashed.

Let's start with the fact that you're being an asshole by calling people who think Apple's overstepping their boundaries Android zealots and just overall being a snotty prick?
Oh wait, that's a stereotype for Apple users. Way to live to the stereotype.

Actually, as i have [i]repeatedly[/i] stated, i am just as appalled by this as the rest of you. The fact that 90% of the other posts are just as snotty prick'ish, is one i won't go further into detail with. Fact is, a special someone in the thread actually [i]does[/i] act like a zealot, using every opportunity to make another sue-lolol-joke, and talking shit about everything Apple-related in earshot, rather than actually staying on the topic of the lawsuit.
That last punchline of yours would have been just that much better if it had anything resembling valid foundation :downs:
Apple is so full of itself.
