Default Samsung vs Apple: Apple wins, over $1B in damages awarded
So much for market competition.

That ruling is ridiculous though...Samsung have a patent that has to be licensed out, and Apple didn't pay anything for it...and Apple don't have to pay any damages to Samsung at all?

Nationalism...

TLDR but sounds like investing in lawyers - vs. technology per se - has won the day for apple.

I can see the suckiness of that, though I know next to nothing about the actual development of multitouch technology. Seems like the core ideas are pretty old. But my first experiences with multitouch gesture libraries were Apple devices.

Tough to judge, since anytime Apple wins a court case of any sort, it really piises off Asher.

Well, everyone who tries to prove that too much freedom in the ability to patent (almost) everything isnīt an accelarator for prograss, but rather a brake, will find enough proof in this lawsuit

Isn't Samsung Apple's main supplier of screens for the various devices?
If I were Samsung I would tell them to go **** themselves. It would take at least a year before they can find sufficient replacement. Apple will be dead if they can't produce devices for a year or produce only significantly poorer quality devices.

First Google wins against Oracle, then Apple wins against Samsung... it's getting ridiculous now.
