Apple should patent sitting so all of the fatties would get sued
[QUOTE=M_B;20516433]
i believe it's that they patented rotating the phone and having the display rotate with it [b]via use of rotational sensors[/b][/QUOTE]

Apple suing Google?
Courtroom Pajama Party!
[QUOTE=Roleplay World;20517370]Apple Cries too much.[/QUOTE]
It is basically like this.
Apple - "Bawwwww *Cries eyes out* we got competition
HTC - "Get the fuck over it, everyone has competition"
Apple - "*Sniff* Fuck you, ill sue you for 20 infringements and make myself look like a even bigger asswipe then i already am"
HTC - "Ok.."
Apple VS Google
That's actually kind of tough.

they're both powerful
haha there was an add for the Nexus one on the bottom of the page for me when i was posting this, but Apple is only good to idiots in the US outside of the country there are better phones and less overpriced.
This court battle is like the creator of the first phone with a redial button suing anyone who added anything near a redial function. There should be something defined as always open, like controls or inputs.
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;20515765]but if some company sued apple for this it'd be okay.[/QUOTE]
Thing is, Apple has a history of suing people for stupid shit. Like that college that just so happens to have an apple in its logo that looks NOTHING like the Apple logo, that kind of shit. Plus with Apple's recent attitude towards stuff like how Google does its business people are picking on Apply alot more these days because Jobs is frankly making himself out to be a complete and utter jack-ass. That is, assuming he has any say in these lawsuits in the first place.
[QUOTE=helpiminabox;20515907]How do you even patent rotation. Honestly.
That's one of the dumbest things I've heard.[/QUOTE]
I remember when that movie "Stealth" came out, I heard rumors that the company making that film tried to copyright the word "stealth", but it's just a rumor.
[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;20516409]I never understood how patents fit in with the capitalist idea of non-monopoly.
Surely it helps monopoly by making certain technologies unique to one patentholder, thereby harming the competition? It sounds pretty damn dumb to me.[/QUOTE]
It's a double-edged sword. It ensures that someone's idea doesn't just get magic'd away by an already huge company and making all the money while the inventor gets jack-shit. On the other hand, it also encourages innovation, so that companies have to think of a new (and possibly better) way to do something.
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;20521697]hahahahahahaha[/QUOTE]
