And the patent wars continue. Attorneys are getting college funds in place for their kids.

Lawsuits won't end because the whole patent system is crap. It need a deeper revision.
For example,
Timeline, Inc is suing Facebook for the word Timeline.
If so, anyone can claim anything and sue for it.

I just looked at it...no it's not.

Under iPhone there's only the 4S.
And the iPad they're selling is only wifi.

...nice try though.

Wow, Motorola is very bitter recently. Is it because their phones are typically of poor quality and build?

so, when apple sues over napkin designs, is fully justified.... and when motorola sues AND WINS its over bitterness of their poor sales? lol

Build is something that Moto phones are better in, aren't they?
Quality is an unclear term. Which quality parameter are you referring to?

And even they were of poor quality and build, why is apple stealing from a company that makes phones of poor quality and build?

Miz , come on now, stop acting like Apple is the victim. They are getting what they deserve .

Hey, now fellas, take it easy on Miz. It's been a very difficult week for the baa baa types.

* Figures show that Android growth STILL outpaced iOS in the 4th quarter of 2011, despite the iPhone 4s' supposedly miraculous sales.
* A scientific study showed that iOS crashes *significantly* more than Android.
* A survey shows that Apple's phone support satisfaction has taken a nosedive
* Apple products are banned in Germany for (ironic pause) patent infringement.
* Another report said that Android users were more likely to score on the first date (pretty good for supposed virgin geeks!)
* Hopes that Apple would come back strong with an event in February have been dashed.

So, cut the man some slack. These are the times that test the resolve of a dyed in the *wool* partisan, so he can be excused if he doesn't quite bring his "A" game to the table.
