[QUOTE=VagabondSleuth;25781960]I personally find hating Apple is being very Hipster. [/QUOTE] How? Hipsters have an Apple product... [QUOTE=ifaux;25781783]i'm not blindly defending apple, i'm defending them in this specific thread because people are acting stupid. laugh if you wish; because tbh i could care less if some guy laughed at me on the internet..:v:[/QUOTE] Both companies are stupid. But Apple pulls out more bullshit IP lawsuits than anyone else besides Rambus.
[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;25783133]How? Hipsters have an Apple product...[/QUOTE] Hipsters are 'hip', i.e, following the latest trends. The biggest bandwagon/trend you could get right now on facepunch is apple hating. This is what he means. And I agree with him. Online angsty teens just want some big multi-national to rebel against.
[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;25759830]More like everyone is suing everyone.[/QUOTE] Even 4 year olds get sued nowadays...
So, question: If I make a patent for a touch screen device, that has a processor in it, and runs OS X, that can be controlled with a keyboard and mouse, and in 10 years Apple makes a touchscreen iMac - can I sue them?

Then Apple sued Nokia in retaliation late September for patent infringement, and Motorola sued Apple, in early October, as a safety measure I guess. Now Apple is suing Motorola. To me, it seems like Apple started the whole mess.
I love apple's products (At least they're mac line) but I hate how they handle business. Steve Jobs is a twat. If apple would stop trying to be so self-sufficient and introverted, and start including other companies in what they do, they could easily sore to the top of the market, but instead they try to buy out and sue the competition into submission. All that comes from they're behavior is a hatred for the company, and not the product.
Even this is pretty pointless, the iOS products are pretty damn good, It was a good choice, otherwise i had a Android

Nokia and Motorola suing Apple has little to nothing to do with the rest of the lawsuits. and nokia's suing everyone, not just apple.
Does Steve Jobs know when to stop?

That's really not how it works, and it's fucking stupid. It completely ignores any rational reasons behind decisions and just says "LOL NO U TREND FOLLOWR"

US patent system just sucking again, move along
[QUOTE=thisispain;25794312]simmer down man damn if you don't calm down back there we're not gonna go to mcdonalds[/QUOTE] that was a fairly calm post, "hipster" is just the dumbest way to dismiss the other side of anything. it's totally mindless.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;25794669]that was a fairly calm post, "hipster" is just the dumbest way to dismiss the other side of anything. it's totally mindless.[/QUOTE] I don't see why you hate apple so much. Sure they make expensive things, but they are really nice quality. The quality control that apple goes through is strict, apple had the lowest failure rates of any laptops until asus managed to take that title away from them about a year ago with netbooks. Even so apple still has an impressive record. Not only that but iOS is quite nice to use. I'm guessing you just don't like the fact that you can't afford it. Apple has done revolutionary things. The first iphone was an incredible technological achievement, and is still a very nice piece of hardware. Sure there were mp3 players before the ipod but look at how revolutionary it was. Apple designed an incredible UI for their ipod and then continued to develop and refine it in to what it is today.

No, I don't hate apple fanboys, I don't hate apple products, I hate apple in and of itself for business practices and etc. I don't like fanboys who are obnoxious about it, that's obvious, but I don't hate apple users. You're seriously slow witted.

It's their product and their rules, don't like it? don't buy it. The fact of the matter is you are just coming in and flaming people and endlessly acting stupid. Apple has made some great products and made big jumps in technology, they had the first brilliant phone (now there are more that rival it of course), but they had pretty much the original vision. They had the first mainstream tablet that works wonders for many things, and they are still continuing to provide updates such as wireless printing and ability to port spreadsheets, graphs, presentations, and word documents to the microsoft counterparts, all packed in a neat and nice package with a brilliantly simple and easy to use UI. It's funny because you refuse to acknowledge apple's achievements and simply spew stuff about how YOU dont like it so it MUST be bad.. Guess what, not everybody is going to like one product.
