Half of the stuff Apple has patented was invented by someone else (rectangle shape). It's pure abuse to the patent system.
apple won because intelligence is overrated.
Apple won because it was then their back yard. Case should of been moved to another state at the very least.
Plus a better chance it'll be overturned on appeal. Multiple parts of the case can be brought up to try and overturned it.
I think the fact the jury came to this decision in 3 days despite the amount on evidence they had the duty to go through is suspicious enough.
Seems the jury wanted to just say this so they can leave type of deal.

The foreman even said that they glossed over prior art (Important evidence) because it was taking too long. Wtf is that!?
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Honestly, Samsung is guilty as charged. They need to stop spending money and time in trying to build ****ty proprietary apps that resemble iOS apps and sell their devices as Nexus devices. Clean Android. Nobody chooses a Samsung phone over an HTC phone because of the ROM and apps. It ALWAYS comes down to hardware.
Apple isn't completely innocent from copying others work. They just took advantage of the current patent laws. Thomas Edison pulled the same crap.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Pretty much everything apple has ever made software wise is just a "simpler more user friendly" rippoff. That's what apples whole sales pitch is! These lawsuits are just a perfect waste of the court system IMO. Also these idiot judges that side with them are breaking the law by attempting to create a monopoly.

I like Touchwiz apps. I don't like the launcher but that's just personal opinion. I don't particularly like the Nexus either. For me it IS a combination of the software and the hardware.
The fact that they stated that the SGS series and the iPhone were similar and that the Galaxy Tab and the iPad aren't shows that the jury lacked the competence to make an informed decision. The tablets are far more similar than any of the phones. Also the fact that they disregarded concept sketches to "save time" shows that this who lawsuit was mishandled. This shouldn't have come down to a jury.
half of it is bs and will get tossed but Samsung needs to ditch tw

Honestly there should be a non development Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc. General section. And what I'm trying to really figure out I'd if we can dig up some old dirt on all the technology that apple calls "theirs" for instance the first touchscreen, who and when, operating systems, layouts, etc. And sorry mods if this is in the wrong section but I wanted it to be tied specifically to Sammy as they just lost a billion dollars. Maybe even people could comment on what they think this is going to do to Sammy users. And it sorta is about development because that's what the whole lawsuit is about. So move it if you have to or don't but chime in. Thanks to all who have given opinions

they certainly did copy in some instance, but other areas i don't think should matter.
Obvious copying = BAD

^ you posted immediately after this, you realize there is sarcasm right?
Mmm, no offense but..... get over yourself?
The button is there so that iPhone people know exactly where to go to post about their phone (iPhone users aren't always the most technically inclined people in the world).
There's a lot to dislike about the company's practices, but you cannot deny that they put out a pretty good product and that they have spurred a *lot* of competition and innovation in mobile computing over the last decade.
I will never own an apple device, but there's no reason to go out of your way to hate a company that isn't doing you any harm.
I agree with You S15274N I had 3 I-Phones I could not stand the fact I pay for the phone and they control my technology like I am a baby. That, along with the Totalitarian marketing behavior "oh you want to add some new anything ? ...... 1.99 each plz"............Besides, the Apple followers are like Religious Zealots "Apple is my God....take my money"..... In my area we all call it "chic" phone you want something you can do nothing to but has a couple cute features.........oooohhhh then this phone is for you.
But, even it's a sister site it really rubs me the wrong way..........I just never expressed myself.... until now ........... THANKS !!!
Yeah... I'm not saying I blame XDA or anything... just stating that I really hate the ONE site I spend my time on to express my passion for android, now has big IPHONE button at the top of it....
And I am kinda laughing at myself about how much that bothers me, I know it shouldn't.
Not sure some of you realize what I'm TRYING to say.

As for hating the button...really? It's a phone. Not that big of a deal, dude. Just ignore it.

I agree with s15274n..
iPhones are the most expensive,useless, fragile phones ever.... they suck so bad....the Galaxy S phones are so much stronger and cheaper....hell the Evo has twice the power for about half the price ...
Meanwhile the iPhone is $800 and breaks as soon as it bumps against something .... jailbreaking is like a dice roll every time an update is released ... its a big waste of money like the iPad in my opinion

Apple always finds a way to top its own claims. I'm sure we will see another one soon
Genius...
Certainly, Apple has the best marketing strategy in the world. Step 1) Patent something that has already been used and claim it for yourself (even though you are 2 years behind the curve). Step 2) Your millions of minion-minded customers will think they are the first to have such product, and will claim it to be the BEST EVERRRRRR! Of course, they will be correct because Apple said so!
Yawn..........

Companies as large as Samsung (and they are a GIGANTIC company. They are huge in nearly every industry they are in, which is most.) have different divisions. Whatever the smartphone division is called likely has little to do with the component manufacturing division. Even if the smartphone division demanded the component manufacturing division to cut off Apple completely they would get nothing more than a simple "No" and likely some laughing...and even if that division did want to cut Apple off they are contractually bound. Not to mention it would just be bad business to cut off sales to one of the planets most prolific electronic component customers.
A few years back one division of Sony sued another division of Sony...I think it was a (surprise surprise) Copyright issue.
Yeah, I think that most people don't realize just how gigantic and diverse of a company that Samsung really is...
"Samsung Electronics said Friday that it topped 160 trillion won (138 billion U.S. dollars) in annual sales for the first time in 2011. For the second straight year, the company topped 15 trillion won (12.9 billion dollars) in operating profit on the back of more than 150 trillion won (129 billion dollars) in sales."
All of these lawsuits are ridiculous.. But I don't think the one listed in the OP is the most laughable..
Samsung recently lost a case where they claimed the absolute right to 3G against Apple...
The only people who come out ahead on all these frivolous lawsuits are the lawyers who are getting paid..

Some of the claims made by Apple are bad yes but what's even worse is when some of the courts agree with them.

Apple on Tuesday was awarded what is being considered as “the mother of all smartphone software patents,” according Phandroid’s Kevin Krause. Considering Apple’s recent track record, the company may be preparing to bring down a legal hail storm against Google’s Android. “The effects could be swift and lethal,” Krause admitted.
Of particular interest, patent number 8,223,134, which covers “Portable electronic device, method, and graphical user interface for displaying electronic lists and documents,” could be Apple’s biggest weapon. Basically, it covers user interfaces for smartphone email, telephone, camera, video player, browser, widgets, search, notes, maps and a multitouch interface. That’s a list of features in every competing smartphone OS.
PatentlyApple said, “Apple reinvented the smartphone, and today they get another patent victory to celebrate that fact… Apple’s iPhone truly reinvented the smartphone and Apple’s granted patent reflects the broad range of graphical user interface innovations that they brought to market.”
Apple has been steadfast in its quest to squash any competition it deems has stolen from the Cupertino-company. Over the past several months, Apple has been embroiled in a number of lawsuits around the globe, the most recent of which dealing with the Galaxy Nexus.
The granting of such a broad patent could have far reaching consequences on the marketplace, and potentially stifle any major future software advancements, which is ultimately bad for consumers.

Hahahaha I read this to, the question would be weather Apple decides to fight and get some sort of an injunction. I do think if these suits start getting out of control, it might backfire on Apple, but we will see. I mean, seriously, people didn't by Android because of a disappearing scroll bar, just like people didn't buy Android over Apple because of unified search.

Google will change to a different scrollbar. I doubt it will ever matter. This doesn't mean the death of Google.
I can think of several ways around it, and they don't require an ugly persistent scrollbar either.
One being, no scrollbar at all. Haven't we moved past the need for those on mobile devices?

Well, I was reading an article (don't ask for link I couldn't find it) where she has given Apple a hard time too.

It's about time, because that initial Nexus injunction was pure BS.....your trying to tell me that Apple lost market share and money because of unified search?

If the patent results in the creation of a smartphone monopoly on apple's part, then the courts might be able to rule the patent invalid if challenged.

It won't/can't unless nobody is willing to change it. A simple patch could remove scrollbars altogether and then its a non-issue.
here we go again
All this bull**** its getting out of control.. In the case that apple managed to kill EVERY SMART PHONE IN THE WORLD meaning iphone its the only remaining device.. I'd rather go back to an old dumb nokia 5120 or such over buying an apple device.
But I guess with this new patent they gonna affect even Microsoft and windows 8 phones.. And this its where I don't know if apple's legal department its crowded with retards.. Because I am sure that messing with Microsoft never its a good option.. They can smack apple down to the hell any day

Google will change to a different scrollbar. I doubt it will ever matter.

As long as googles scroll bar doesn't fully disappear they should be fine, perhaps if it shrinks to a 1 pixel wide bar all is well. Gotta love apple and its revolutionary software patents where a few lines of code can bypass them all.
Tapatalk/xda app infringe this patent at the moment, just saying xD

That's like saying Toyota suing everyone because Toyota car's wheel are round, and so are the competitors..
What shape do you want the tires to be? Square, better yet triangle?

If apple had their way, they would be apple shaped, with a bite out of it.
Seriously, all this patent bull**** is getting old.

Might as well sue nature. lol
I don't want to be negative because I love my android especially my s3 but anyone know how loosing that case in court to apple is going to affect us and our s3's? One of my friends said oh just wait a few weeks and demand an iPhone 5 from your carrier. I really don't want to do that as I abhore apple products. I despise the proprietary nature of the iPhones and how inflexible they are. No expanding memory.. no ability to tweak them ...just so very utilitarian and unmanageable... so if anyone knows how this loss to Samsung will affect us I'd love to hear opinions and thoughts... thanks.!

It could would to samsung, because more people are finding out how samsung makes apple's processors, etc. In fact, that essentially in the guts, hardware wise, similar products, though the apple is like 3x more, and samsung has a better quality and price.
This ban could be temporary; the nexus was banned, but if you check the play store, its back to being sold; it has for some time now.
So in the end, will really just have to watch as it plays out. This could be 'htc move' for apple; where people were unhappy with them because of them going back on their bootloader word. This could drive more people to samsung.
Really why make another one of these threads when a few already exist..... And last I read nothing is banned as of yet.that hearing is set for sometime in Dec. And on top of that the GS3 is not one of the phones Apple is going after. Most of the galaxy s2 variants and a couple galaxy s1 are the ones being questioned.

+1 You guys gonna give yourselves gray hairs tripping on that bs lawsuit.

+2, That lawsuit had absolutely nothing to do with the gs3 and will not affect us in any way. All it will do in my opinion is encourage Samsung and others to innovate more and be more creative which is good.
And why the heck would buying an iphone be a solution to anything? Your friend is dumb.

The lawsuit is far from over... that being said the S3 has had a 50% increase in sales since the verdict(S2s have been traded or sold to the resellers) so tell me who lost in court?

Just think of this is true, either Samsung will get money back. Or you can brag about your phone having LTE (if/when you get coverage) and their brand new ICrap 5 doesn't.

SAMSUNG Court Case
Well, all I have to say is...if the developers keep turning out stuff like this latest nightly, 08/31 CM10, Apple is going to sue them.
I was floored by the performance boost in the GUI and how I finally have a phone with no personal complaints I can cite.
CPU runs all the code I write fast enough for what I need, and the wireless N support doesn't suck.
On top of that, the radio on the unit works very well for voice calls, far better than my EVO does.
(My poor EVO has been relegated to displaying Weather, playing MP3's and movies as a gift to my sister.)
As for the lawsuit, I would like to remind everyone no money has changed hands yet. There is an appeal process. There _will_ be an appeal process because lawyers don't like to turn down that much cash, I can assure you.
Secondly, the last time LINUX was threatened, was SCO. A grass roots effort over a 5 year period, reduced the company to a rubble pile. Geeks like myself, have HUGE bearing on our friends and our families on what they should buy. Even the small number of geeks at the time working in the open source industry.
Now, it is an entirely different story. Open source runs the modern world now.
If Apple gets out of line, and starts shutting down product lines of companies for what could be argued as the most ridiculous legal proceedings ever, since the SCO case, we will mobilize.
We will mobilize our friends, our families, our places of work and like SCO, Apple will feel our wrath and it will wither and die as a company.
Many like myself feel this way because we understand how technology and science works, and it works by building on previous inventions.
_ALL_ companies build on previous products and technology. Apple is no exception.
If SAMSUNG copied the parts and software I could see legal validation for retribution. But the products displayed in the courtroom in this particular instance have little technological, software or GUI likeness if at all to any Apple product.
Secondly, the jury was stacked by Silicone Valley idiots, which has already been shown to have complete bias towards Apple, regardless of their beliefs of right or wrong in the said legal case against SAMSUNG.
