You reckon? considering the different FOV/lens and starting position it looks to me like a lot of thought has been used in creating a different image.
If he wanted to copy it would have been so easy to crouch down on the bridge with the kit lens and wait for the bus to drive past.

It's the same concept.

OMG, Steve Jobs really would be raging right now with this and everything else regarding android lately

Surely apple will just put on their website.

"Samsung galaxy tab, not as cool as the iPad, even UK judges agree."

with a link to the case.

Mr Paul · 19 Jul 2012 at 14:50

No, they HAVE to directly mention the Tab does NOT copy the iPad.

LOL so much for Jobs saying before he passed away that he wanted to destroy Android

. He must be spinning in his grave with this ruling

Nope the Egyptians patented that action when they used to entomb mummies that would often turn, so unless he wants to be sued for infringement...

Maybe they need to submit the following video instead:

Lol publicly admitting that they aren't ashamed of stealing great ideas. can't be a smart move. This video should be played in every Apple case where prior art is brought up.

Mr Paul · 20 Jul 2012 at 11:38

To right!

The US patent office needs taken to task on their stupidity. I would also like individuals at the USPO financial affairs looked at TBH (cynical much? )

I completely agree. It's laughable the number of patents Apple have been granted that are nothing new, or else something so basic that they should have been rejected. IIrc they patented 'arranging icons in a grid'. It's ludicrous.

Yes because legally its not as good - hardly a great advert for Samsung.

Another judge with some common sense:

Just bang their heads together, stick them in a room and leave them in there until all disputes are sorted out.

The show goes on with a GT 7.7 ban:

Interesting but how can a German court tell the rest of the EU what to do? Also, **** Apple, this is those bloody design patents again, the ones of a rectangle.

Richie · 24 Jul 2012 at 12:07

Considering that a UK judge ruled against a ban, I cannot see how a German court can overrule this.

Here comes the $2.525 billion demand:

why does this make me hate apple more? i know "Every company does this" but not to this level they are literally suing others on bits that were in mobile phones since the frickin start.. who the heck grants those patents needs a good kick in the face.
