It's about time.
- zschallz 14y agoWhy is it okay for Google to do it but not say, Oracle? It's ridiculous no matter who does it.
- mingramjr 14y agoBecause Apple attacked first
- tedunangst 14y agoWait, Apple sued Google?
- andybak 14y agoEssentially, yes.
- cheald 14y agoApple is waging a war by proxy on Google via attacks on Android handset manufacturers. They've mostly avoided direct engagement so far (which is smart, since Google isn't the one making money directly from Android), but it's obvious to anyone watching the overall swing of these lawsuits that Apple isn't waging war on HTC or Samsung as much as they are on Google and Android.
- azylman 14y agoApple has sued Google-owned Motorola and Android handset manufacturers, so yes. Now Google-owned Motorola is suing back.
- comatose_kid 14y agoI don't think that Apple suing to protect its intellectual property is wrong. But even if I did, I don't buy the logic that doing the 'wrong' thing is okay because the other guy did it first.
- orangecat 14y agoI don't think that Apple suing to protect its intellectual property is wrong. Do you think that Lodsys suing to protect its intellectual property is also not wrong? I don't buy the logic that doing the 'wrong' thing is okay because the other guy did it first. Using force in self-defence is unacceptable?
- rustynails 14y agoYou may want to re-read comatose-kid posting again. He doesn't support "others do it" as a justification.
- aviraldg 14y agoYeah, because "slide-to-unlock" is so innovative.
- fpgeek 14y agoIf it is, I'd like to see the size of the check Apple is writing Neonode. Oh, wait...
- drgath 14y agoMotorola sued Apple first
- burningout 14y agoAs another one wrote, apple threatened them to sue, so they sued back first.
