Does anyone remember when 616 million was a lot of money?

I wouldn't mind getting $616 million.... I'd buy an island for everyone in my family, and have more than enough left over to build luxury homes on them

That's what happens when you copy others.

How pathetic that Nokia has to resort to lawsuits because they're too stupid to try and be innovate and compete by offering quality products. In the long run, it's Nokia that will suffer, not Apple.

I'm not up on patent or trademark law, but from what I understand it's similar to driving to a destination. Theres a bunch of different ways to get to the same place, just depends on which turns your take. Patents are similar in the sense that, yes products can do the same thing but their underlying method of how it does it is different. I'm not a big enough dork to thoroughly explain it the way that it should but all smartphones can sync your calendar and email, hook up to WiFi, and capture pictures, but their underlying "code" may be different. Kodak may "own" a certain way a picture is captured and then displayed on a screen. Apple may have come up with a different solution, or not...

Kodaks way may just be a faster and more efficient way of doing the same thing.

Wassup, you blind iSheep- it's OK when Apple sues other manufacturers but not when Apple are being sued... Owkaayy...

Ok, Wassup, misread your post... I agree with you. I really like it when Apple are being sued because they wanna sue everyone- instead of competing fairly by innovation, as you noted, they want to go to courts. The HTC saga is a good example- Apple want to ban HTC products from entering the US. How desperate is that...

@lwazi. You like it when Apple gets sued, but you don't like it when Apple sues? Wow, thanks for making it clear to all of us that you're a jerk :)

Looks like Apple is getting a taste of their own medicine.

I wonder if the fandroid trolls are outraged that Nokia is suing people to protect the IP?
28. remixfa posted on 23 Jul 2011, 10:13 1 0
as always, your an idiot and behind. nokia already sued and won. thats just what nokia got this year from them. There is a difference between suing to protect patents and suing over similar icon coloring which isnt pattented. Apple sues to protect marketshare, not IP.

Now since Nokia has the money it deserves lets see what these two titans can come up with now. Hopefully we won't hear from lawsuits for a while but hear more about innovation.

seems that the success of Apple, is built on the back of Nokia
