Key witness in Apple-Samsung trial leaves Apple, doesn't want to testify

Its a conspiracy by apple
They paid him nice and made him quit to appear fair in trails.
Its shameful for Apple to admit the award winning design is stolen.

Apple can never play fair in either trails or competition.

well for one thing what the heck was Sony thinking. I still think they don't fully grasp the market yet but what can you do know. Its either jump on android or hope on windows phone 8.
. I think it was members of led zeplin that said it best when they said every one of there songs where not there idea. They were techniques and ideas takin from there influences with music. Then put together in there own way to make music history and musicians do the Sam with there music. Ifs past down.
of course if you get down to brass tacks all the designs came from previous influences but what apple did with it is like zeplin did for rock and roll. They re wrote it. If apple did not come out with the iphone I think we would be five years back in tech or at the very liest no where near the quad core monsters we se today with tablets and phones. I personally think Samsung did copy not only apples phone but there business mode to a point. But really its a rectangle screen in a rectangle body. There is no others conclusion you can come to when designing a touch screen phone. It can really go no other way unless you add a keyboard. I really think apple probably coppied a little from Sony but I also think that the iphone was made as soon as the technology was available to do so and that shape is really the only conclusion you can get for a all touch screen phone. I am sure apple got ideas from other areas also but it was pretty original in all aspects from hardware to software and materials used.
I own a galaxy nexus and a galaxy s 3. One of my first smartphones was a Samsung omnia and I loved it. I do believe Samsung took ideas a little but like I said that shape should not be slowed to be patterned because its really the only shape you can get. Besides that I have both an iphone and these phones and they couldn't be more different as far as user experience goes. That goes to the credit of google more than anybody. A personal assistant app has been around before siri .
I guess I can go on for ever with my reasons why there should be know lawsuites in either way and let the consumer be the one rewarded with continued inovation from rivelry . But i n a side note if apple would stop exploiting foreign workers to save a couple dollars and start supporting our people in America and building the iphone here since we have the skilled workers I would gladly support them a lot more. They are a sudo American company and are making way too much profit not to support our country. We should tax the crap on them so they have to build here. Atliest freaking Mexico.

As I said in a previous thread, this is going to be great PR for Sony - the inventor of the original iPhone.

As far as Nishibori testifying, Meh. If the deposition was properly taken (as in video recorded), the attorneys for Sammy just play the tape of the part(s) they want to show to the jury. What is the saying - a picture is worth a thousand words? Well, with video depositions, they have pictures with the witness actually speaking the words.

And apple is the inventor of android

11. Droid_X_Doug posted on 30 Jul 2012, 02:11 3 1

That he used the Sony prototype and Sammy phone (F700?) as inspiration for the drawings he made of the iPhone design?

This response was funny. Its almost like the ramblings of a mad man....

A key witness doesnt wanna testify ....FOR APPLE...he just left Apple this month...

And this is good for them?

I'm no judge nor am I on the jury.....but it would have the wheels turning in my head....

Our little taco has developed almost a knee-jerk response to anything Apple. If Apple were to lose this litigation, taco's response would likely be that the case got stream-lined for the appeal.

And I forgot to mention.....he drops the obligatory "copy Apple" phrase.....

I might begin to wonder if he really is a bot...

Yea taco does have a response to everything! Sammy should win, and if apple some how does, it wouldn't be right. They can't just look at who has what patents, because obviously, by reading this artical, some of apples patents don't belong to them, they are just patenting everything that Nokia Sony and Samsung didnt patent. Becuase they don't care it's free enterprise. If Sony Samsung and Nokia patent everything they made apple wouldn't have been able to make a phone,

And your response to Samsung and android losing is that the judge is bribed. Samsung has lost cases in Germany, Australia and the US now. When will you admit Samsung has copied?

This will be a really easy win for Apple. All the evidence is on their side.

21. Droid_X_Doug posted on 30 Jul 2012, 03:10 4 1

If so, why didn't Apple move for summary judgement? Because even they had to concede all the evidence was not on their side.

Serious the Iphone only has one button on the bottom. The galaxy has one button and two little ones its totally different lol. Its like when vanilla ice was getting sued by Queen for copyright and Vanilla Ice was like " No man its totally different Queen's song goes. da da da duh dun.... mine goes da da da duh dun teh...... Hear the difference its totally a different song." Same thing in this case its totally different lol
