Change.org Petition against Apple

Hello everyone,
If you don't know today is a bad day for Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners. If you haven't heard yet Apple Inc. won a preliminary ban against all Galaxy Nexus sales in the United States. This is bad for all things android and I have created a petition so hopefully all of you will sign it.
Also please share with your friends and family and everything else. Don't let this go unanswered.
http://t.co/c97hudxY
Also if anyone can make a picture or something for me as a logo that would be great.
If you have any suggestions on anything I should add to the petition please tell me.
Here is another petition for the same thing.
https://defendinnovation.org

I feel your annoyance but I'm way too cynical to think this will have any impact on Apple at all. Just shake your head at them and grab a beer. There are lots of other petition worthy causes out there.

OK, but keep in mind that this has been going on forever and it's just a preliminary ban. I wouldn't get all worked up just yet.

Can't be mad at Apple for exercising their right to go after companies who they think infringe upon their IP. In short, deal with it.

What really burns Apples ass is that Motorola used to make the Apple CPU (power-pc/G5 chip) and now Google owns Motorola
No petition will even raise an eyebrow, let alone get anything done.
This is how Apple does business...if you can't make a better product, keep them in court.
Apple definately spends way more in lawyer fees than it does on R&D.

This petition already has over 6,000 signatures. I would sign it. https://defendinnovation.org/

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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

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.

Awesome for who, exactly? Do you own HTC or Samsung stock or something?
Consumers (i.e. you, me) don't win when products are banned or pulled from the market.

You are right consumers don't win but maybe in the long run it teach there greedy asses a little lesson which may in turn eventually help us consumers. Companies have worked togethor in ways similar to tuis whole situation for years and the apple decided to be ignorant. If theu would just keep working togethor and let us consumers decide for ourselves instead of trying to force our hands then everyone wins. I understand there are as many faithful apple guys as there are us android guys. People will get what they prefer on there own. I don't care for ios so no matter what happens I will still use an android phone and ios users will still use iphone. It should be our choice. No theres

Thing is, I know so many people who would only buy an Iphone... I expect to have to order several of the new one's as soon as they're officially available for folks at work...

Exactly just as I would only buy android. That's what I mean it should be our decision all this ban this ban thay sh1t is for the birds. I want to pick what phone I have I don't want apple or samsung as far as that goes to choose for me. I personally chose the galaxy s3 and anyone who wants an iphone and want lte with should have that choice as a consumer. They want android users to not get google now and ios users to not get lte.

Thankfully, it is not up to Apple.

As much as people dislike Apple, think about this.

You realize how much you just got played right? Not only did that little iphone button get you to stay on their website longer; it got you to take a screenshot of it and then go to a Nexus forum and post on there causing even more people to see their website. AND you are going to contact customer service at vzw in which case they will then try to sell you something after reading your pointless email.
Seems like VERY effective marketing strategy to me.

I have both Android and i devices. Personally I find the whole idea of arguing over a phone pretty retarded... like eating paint chips retarded. I heard an Apple engineer designed a thermostat called the nest, let's argue which thermostat is better, or should it have a larger screen? How about refrigerators? Let's argue about which one makes the best ice.

[Discussion]Apples New Claims

So, I don't know if anyone has read the new claims that crapple seems to be bringing to court but here is a link to the post.
http://phandroid.com/2012/11/06/app...01/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Although here is some what of a break down of the contents.
It seems as though Apple has gone some crazy insane on crack or something because now they want to add 17 devices because they're all compatible with a stylus in some way. Now how the hell is that possible? None of Apple's products use a stylus, that I'm aware of anyway. At least they don't ship with one. Also, they are going after the GNex now, because hmmmm....It's running Jelly Bean?! That doesn't make any damn sense what so ever. So I though I would just bring this up for some discussion because I don' have the slightest idea how they can do this?

I always read about apple trying find something ***** about android / Samsung software and products. It seems like they just want own the market, but that just it not everyone cares for them. I see how their product is their own. But lot of it seems picky

My mom for some reason got an iPhone 5, I told here it was a piece of worthless crap, and she didn't listen. Needless to say 2 weeks later she is taking it back I convinced her to get a Note 2!
But along the lines of the whole patent thing, they say there going after the GNex because it has Jelly Bean, BUT all other JB devices are fine!? Makes NO damn sense!

Ya I seen apple attack Samsung for a lot of things. Last couple of years, last time I read anything was that apple claim Samsung copy their design.. Silly power hungry company's

I have a small feeling they are attacking the GNex because it is ALWAYS updated. Google keeps the GNex on top of it. Apple probably views it as a threat because while we are here using the GNex for quite awhile (since we don't get bored with it), Apple has to release an entire new product to keep the users entertained.
