What's the point of spreading around doom and gloom that will probably never come to fruition?
What the article fails to mention is that most of those patents could never be used to critically damage Google because Google could argue that it would destroy competition/ put them out of business/ create a monopoly. In other words, not happening.
I LOLd so hard at the Steve Jobs quote. He was owned by Bill Gates. Now Android are apparently copying him. Windows mobile was revolutionary before his over hyped and priced junk came out.

Pretty good piece. It's blatantly evident that the patent system is broken & is being exploited.
This crap just makes me angry. I can't stand that skeevy little company. They remind me of the spoiled little kid that expects everything for themselves, and nothing for anyone else.
Why do people waste their time on that site?

This is why people need to stop using convenience as their sole criterion for deciding which product to purchase. Every purchase has ethical implications. If you give money to Apple, you're helping them perpetuate these atrocities.
I have no respect for anyone who reads articles like this and still uses iProducts.

I agree with this completely. All that would be required to stall a potential suit, is an anti-competition counter suit. Federal laws are in place to prevent power moves, like the ones Apple has been pulling lately.

That is the dumbest **** I have read on here in a long while and including the dumb **** I post! Google is supposed to sit by and let apple block all of their software but not give apple a taste of its own medicine?
This is why kids who get bullied end up committing suicide these days because we have forgotten what our parents taught us which is fight back! Even Martin Luther King who wasn't violent fought back, maybe not physically but he did!

I think you fail to understand what really happens. Apple attacks all android vendors with patents. What generally happens in this case is that both parties raise a mutual agreement and the "infringer" pays licensing fees to the other. But with Apple, it's different, they don't want royalties or money of any kind, they want to destroy the others. So the others have no choice but fighting back with the same weapons.
Patents have been weapons like in the cold war days for quite some time now, nobody dared attacking, fearing mutual destruction, now one vendor has been stupid enough to start the war without willing to discuss, so the other partied have no other choice than either dying or fighting back. Google doesn't do evil here, they just do what is needed to stay alive.
We all knew this was coming. Google has stated repeatedly that the reason they bought Motorola was for their patents.
Go Google!

As a member of this awesome and ever expanding community, I feel it's my responsibility to inform other members of the dangers of phone use while driving. We own very sophisticated and appealing devices especially when modded. Yesterday I was involved in an accident involving 3 cars all because I was paying more attention to my phone and not the road. I ran a red light and t-boned another car which in turn hit another car. Nobody was injured thankfully but, it could've been much worse. I just wrote this so my fellow members can have extra care when driving, it can be very tempting to use our devices while driving PLEASE DON'T!!!!
Thank you and be safe.

Thanks god nobody got injured, but I seriously got a little irritated by this post. You put other people in danger because you were playing with your phone. And now you're warning others because you feel it's your responsibility? It should be clear that you shouldn't use your phone while driving!

Re: It can wait
I would like to think 99% of this forum are aware of the stupidity of using a phone while driving without your public service announcement. Thankfully you didn't kill anyone whilst you decided your time is better spent pissballing about rather then concentrating on not killing innocent people :thumbup:

glad it was only metal which was bent ....I think talking on cell phone and driving should be worth a ticket in Florida ....
You don't have those commercials where you live? The one where it'll have just one word in black text over a white background (for example)
"Hey"
Then it has someone explain how that was the last word their son/daughter/brother/sister etc. ever saw because that was the text message they were reading when they got into a fatal car accident.
I see the commercial almost daily here and don't personally need to be reminded, but the gesture is nice I suppose.
What you have to remember is that you are responsible for moving thousands of pounds of sharp, jagged metal, glass and combustible fuels. Generally speaking, none of these play very well with the human body. If you stop paying attention to what you're doing for even a second, you can effectively turn your car into a wrecking ball or missile.
There are plenty of ways to have your texts read to you via Bluetooth headsets or over your car speakers. This is Android, we can literally do just about anything with these phones.
(Off topic Apple rant spawned from this)
Every time I get in a car with an iPhone user they are always driving and messing with texts or music. Freaking idiots.
Just to clear the air a bit and I should have posted this from the beginning, I wasnt TEXTING or TALKING on the phone. I was merely flipping thru tracks on my music player and got distracted. I'm not saying this makes it any better, rather I am just stating the facts. I have apologized to the people I hit and I am TRULY SORRY not that it matters to anyone here. This can happen to anyone and I just hope that it doesnt. Lesson learned.

To all of you who are serving and have served. I want to say thank you to you and your families. Both of you make the ultimate sacrifice by serving our country and fighting for our rights. To the soldiers/sailors with boots on the ground, or families at home seperated from loved ones holding the world together, I give thanks. Be sure to thank a service member today, and everyday, but please thank their families as well.
I have been on both sides as a member and as one with the loved one deployed. Both are equally as difficult.

Guys, XDA is a global community focused on smartphone-related matters. There are people here from outside the US as well. Now the whole idea of celebrating 'serving your country' might sound all nice to you guys, but to many people from other parts of the world, it will sound like 'celebrating blindly following orders given by your superiors, invading other nations and mass-murdering civilians there in the name of collateral damage while actually serving interests of financial institutions and corporations who are the only ones benefiting from war'.
So I hope we can all keep XDA a nice and friendly place and try not to bring up discussions that may be extremely offensive to many people who are a part of this community.
Then why did you bring it up?
Why didn't you just ask a mod to close it on that principle alone?
Now that you did bring it up, unfortunately this should now be closed. Thanks. :sly:

First off, its in the general section, so correct me if im wrong, but doesnt require it to be related to smart phones. If i posted this in the wrong section i could se a problem.
Yes this is a multinational forum, but in no way was it to bring offense to anyone. I specifically said thanks to the veterans. That is ANY who have served no matter what military or legion. I specified my branch i served as did a few others. And we say thanks because for us, we volunteered our lives, and willingly risked them. Yes, we may follow orders just as others do as well. But again. We volunteered as many do. Sorry if someone takes offense. Mods have already posted their thanks as well. If they chose to close it so be it. One more thing, i do know and understand some countries to force people to serve in their military. While not all do agree to motives behind what happens. We still stand proud and do what is needed, in no way does this express the opinion of XDA. Just myself. I dont agree to alot that has been going down man nor do i care for the civilian losses. That defiantly is a harsh reality to events. So again. If someone is offended. I am sorry. If you have served in ANY military. I thank you.

I think it's mainly because there's only one Apple phone releases a year and there's a million Android devices every year. Android now owns more than 70% market share. If the Nexus was the only Android device available, 7 in 10 people would have a Nexus, 2 would have an iPhone, 1 would have a Windows 8 phone and one 1 Blackberry. With the Nexus being the best, its retail value would be higher than the iPhone. It's not that the Apple has high resale value. It's that there's only one IPhone a year from one manufacturer and it happens to be second place in market share. Completely understandable.

It comes down to the simple fact that they want to stop all competition by suing everyone because they can't innovate. And they want to charge exorbitant amounts for what they sell. Their thinking is that they should be the only ones around and you either pay their high prices or did without. They are nothing but crooks that are clogging up the legal system to make themselves richer but the moment while people have to scrape and save just to have food.

11/10 people. I see.
Also, apple is good at marketing and developing a 'cult' for their brand. Additionally, their devices are simple and limited (insert vehicle comparison analogy here). I am never able to use a modern OS without getting OCD'd to skin/theme/flash/etc so no Apple for me, like most of the people here.
Apple produces social phones with the support of some socialists.

If they kept them here they would still make a profit.. They are so big of a company that they could single handedly make a giant dent in the unemployment rate in the United States and offer many people an honest job. Instead its a game to them to see how much money they can aquire when they do not actually need it and never will. I am aware that they are not the only company to do it but it still passes me off... So f*** apple and their rotten greed. I would he happiest if their company went under and they lost everything

Yeah but apple isn't going to fail anytime soon. The company is huge and the average consumer loves their products because they are simple and they just work. If my galaxy s 4g wasnt rooted and custom rom'd then i wouldnt even be able to use it for simple tasks. The average person doesnt have the time for all that. They want something that works properly and works really good. Not everyone wants to mod and constantly theme their device every day of the week. You can do that with apple if you jailbrake your device anyways. I don't understand why do you guys take things like this so personally. So what if apple does what it does. Does it have any relevance with our life or take anything away from you? No. They aren't taking away from YOUR market share or taking away your money so why should it even matter to any of you at all. I'm only in high school and it seems like I understand this better than you guys. It really is not a big deal at all. I know that my next phone isn't gonna be another android unless they come out with a 32gb nexus. I don't have a problem with apple and sure as helI don't have the time to waste constantly tinkering and "fixing" my phone all the damn time just to get it to work. If I don't relash my phone every 2 month, how slow it is is just unbearable.

Yeah but apple isn't going to fail anytime soon. The company is huge and the average consumer loves their products because they are simple and they just work. If my galaxy s 4g wasnt rooted and custom rom'd then i wouldnt even be able to use it for simple tasks. The average person doesnt have the time for all that. They want something that works properly and works really good. Not everyone wants to mod and constantly theme their device every day of the week. You can do that with apple if you jailbrake your device anyways. I don't understand why do you guys take things like this so personally. So what if apple does what it does. Does it have any relevance with our life or take anything away from you? No. They aren't taking away from YOUR market share or taking away your money so why should it even matter to any of you at all. I'm only in high school and it seems like I understand this better than you guys. It really is not a big deal at all.

There is more to it besides android vs apple.. And since you are in high school I will overlook your ignorance.. But when you are out of high school and looking for a job but can't get one because companies like apple would rather get super cheap labor than give back to the country that abled them to do so much.. Then maybe u will be singing a different tune.

My biggest issue with them is their constant law suits against competition that do nothing but clog up the legal system. Those who gain that much power become scared of losing that power and eventually fall hard.
