The lead story: Apple v. Samsung trial
Share:
The cool thing from all this is that we get to see many interesting prototypes, as well as learn juicy bits of inside info about the companies thanks to the companies' attorneys and witnesses. However, the thing is that all this information is scattered around numerous news posts and articles, and following it all might prove to be a bit difficult. No anymore! Below you'll find a complete list with all the important moments of the legal clash between Apple and Samsung, with some dating even before the start of the trial itself. We'll keep this list updated as the new info comes out, so you can just return to this post later (bookmark!) to see how things develop.

I want to read all of them so bad....but apple is kinda involved and when apple is involved we know bulls**t is the product..

That's pretty stupid to let their involvement stop u from properly following this trial.
You'll still make comments against apple though, still being not in the know

I was talking about the just the lawsuit...I like iPhones and iPads. I just don't like apple.

Geez. Phone Arena is going to be all over this trial. I am not blind to the far reaching effect this trial will have, particularly if Apple wins. And I am forcing myself to keep up with the major ideas just to stay informed with what is at stake. But this thing could spill over into September, and appeals could last another year to 18 months.
Is ANYONE besides me getting a little "patent litigation" burn out? I have had it since mid-2011, back when 530 Gemini and Jeff da Beat were arguing for Apple and Sniggly and Droid_X_Doug (who stilled owned a Droid X) were assuming the Pro-Android.
Those threads were way more interesting than the actually trial.....

Apple started suing companies after Steve Jobs passed away. All of this Samsung vs. Apple is a bunch of crap because its not hurting their market share or the amount of products they're selling

APPLE fanboys must be real IDIOTIC to mistake an android device for an apple iPhone>>> for crying out loud apple only releases an outdated iphone about once a year!! is it that hard for them to keep track of releases.. or why doesnt SIRI just make the release date an appointment or something!? >>> i hope apple does not "INVENT" a new gaming console btw...sony might get sued for using blu-ray or something messed up like that
