You guys noticed the date of the article? This is before the Apple vs. Samsung verdict, and certainly not the first Motorola vs. Apple litigation. Just another chapter of the game everybody plays.

Put down the pitchforks, no need to pull a Reddit.

With Apple suing Samsung, and now Google suing Apple, doesn't it seem like the main people who stand to benefit from this are the lawyers? Lawyer conspiracy I tell you

These patent wars just have me face-palming.

They patent things so obvious and basic that they shouldn't even be able to be patented and then proceed to sue each other over stupid large amounts of money while wasting federal money getting the courts to fight over it and bring in jurors.

Not to mention the obvious appeal that Samsung is planning. Especially after several jurors revealed they pretty much went against what they were told to do.

I seriously hope Google goes Braveheart on Apple for Samsung. Man, I wonder how much all they both spend in lawyers in a year..

Which they probably do.

Anyway, I dislike both, Apple and Google, so I can't really root for anyone.

Ohhhh shit.

Google is finally up and suing Apple itself? Shit just got REAL ladies and gentlemen. Google has pretty much always abstained from direct confrontation with Apple, so doing this.....hooo boy.

I love our Google overlords to no end, but I'm still hoping for some reasonable patent reform, because this back and forth is just ridiculous.

Oooo really looking forward to work tomorrow. I'm doing a co-op at one of Apples suppliers (Broadcom - supplies their connectivity chips in all their products) and most of my co-workers are pretty deep into Apple stock.

Apple has just invoked economic MAD.

Okay first of all this isn't the same as a "lawsuit" in federal court, this is an ITC filing.

Nothing should change considering this news has been known for almost a week now.
