Apple wins again - Off-topic

"A Dutch court has banned all trading of Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Ace across most countries in Europe."

Damn!
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

Yeah.. I don't know what to say anymore

Never fear...

You didn't read the court ruling did you? The Judge DENIED all of Apple's claims except for one and that's the Gallery App. This is a huge defeat for Apple. Samsung can easily copy/paste it's defense to the case in Germany and win that one too.
Anyway back to the case. The court has said in it's ruling that it denies all of Apple's claims except for one. It also acknowledges that the one claim that it did appoint is technically easy to change and has thus given Samsung until October 13th the time to rectify it or the sales ban wil go into affect.
Easy as pie. The only thing Samsung has todo is release a firmware update with a different gallery app and done.

Yup,
"Samsung has already said that the photo browsing conflict can easily be solved with a modification, a statement that basically validates Apple."
But why didn't Samsung just modify it, or just use their own stuff in the first place?

So just update huh.

It's not Samsung - it's the Android gallery. I have the same gallery on my SGS2 that I had on most of the ROMs I tried on my HD2, including the Nexus One ROMs. I don't get why Samsung are being brought up about this.

My mistake, you are correct. But yes, that's strange.
"The judge thinks that Samsung has violated the method for swiping through a photo gallery."
But ALL Android devices uses this swiping. Even WP7 and Symbian?

This was a "non-win" considering it doesn't go into effect until October - so Samsung has already stated they will update the Gallery to coincide with the changes Apple states infringe upon their patent.
And the Dutch court threw out everything else that Apple was claiming. Couple with the Shenanigans that Apple pulled in the German court system - they are quickly losing steam.
And.... Sammy isn't missing 1 day of sales because of this. But we shall see if Samsung sues Apple back for the monetary losses of having to go to court over this whole thing.

Hey apple, go suck on a Droid

A free tattoo is usually a bad idea. A tattoo is permanent and paying for quality work is a necessity. I have quite a few and I'm happy with all of my work. Once it heals, you may be able to have someone fix it.
What happened is they went too deep and/or overworked the area. Good luck with that one.

Never.
FYI Siri was never Apple's invention. They bought the app from a developer and cleared all it's traces from the app store.
I don't think so, I tried it and wasn't that impressed and my friend who owns it doesn't even use it only when he's drunk and asks it stupid things. lol
Not very practical for out door use, Maybe to play with, or when driving but there are lots of other voice recognition apps available, Siri will also work withother jailbroken IOS devices, so if you wanted a cheaper iPhone or and iPod touch 4g instead
iris
this app does not function as advetised there are android apps that do the same functions there is iris,eva, and a few more. btw iris is siri spelled backwards. this tech existed before siri so apple may sue
And now we know that Apple is censoring or fixing some of the answers.
No.
If you want an iPhone, buy it, but don't buy it for Siri. It's fun the first three hours and that's it.

Very true, hes so well-rounded and down to earth, he's the complete opposite of a fanboy.
He's pretty impartial but he's far from down to Earth. Some of his ideas regarding tech and patent licensing are probably never going to happen. For instance (and I'm paraphrasing here) he thinks Apple should agree to license all of it's "General UI" elements for a reasonable fee. That will never happen, Apple has invested too much on it's UI and that's the only real advantage they have. Also he want's iTunes for Android. Where's the logic in that?
That said I have a lot of respect for him and wish he still held the reigns at Apple.
