Why defend Apple? They've completely abused the patent system and caused the courts (and ultimately taxpayers) money for things that don't benefit us, the customers. I'm not saying Samsung is any better; the courts really need to crack down on these types of things, and Apple has so far avoided the wrath of the courts. I for one hate this new patent troll Apple. Patents are to drive and protect innovation, and Apple has been trying to stifle just that. I think the courts should have been more specific as to where to place the "court-mandated statement", such as just below the product line, but above the legal stuff everybody skips, since that's where the most customers will see it without obstructing the flow of the page. It's just underhanded for Apple to hide this rather trivial statement that nobody is likely to actually read. Many of the people on Apple's site are likely to be on Apple's side anyway.
