An interesting lecture on how creativity really works;
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/kir...the_remix.html

Creativity is built on the work of others.
Henry Ford; "progress happens when all the factors that make for it are
ready and then it is inevitable"

It also shows how Steve Jobs thought it was ok for Apple to copy off others,
but not ok for anyone else to copy their stuff.
Steve Jobs; "we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas"

The reader comments posted after such articles make interesting reading.
It's amazing how much passion has been generated amongst the general
public over technical, legal, and ethical matters surrounding the
manufacture and use of wireless telephones.

To what exactly ?

It will be appealed ... and probably appealed again.

Some US judges are known to make outrageous decisions in this sort of case
to ensure the decision is appealed, knowing they actually have no say. Yes,
I know it was a jury (of only 9 I think ?).

This decision is far from "made". :)

The hole thing is corrupt it seems that it only took 3 days to come out
with this massive decision.

Trouble is the case was not fought on natural grounds Apple is a US
company and Samsung is a Korean one, so its obvious that a US court
would side with Apple.

I hear that Ford is taking all the car companies to court now.

Especially when Apple, The court and the jury are all from the San
Jose , CA area.

On a lighter note?

That will get Apple some sales for sure, and rightly so, they make good
products. I appreciate that they have to defend their investment with
the limited rights granted to them.
The patents are just part of the business though, and the response of
their competitors will be, we've got work to do, we have a business to
run, what are the options ? To pay royalties, to work around the
patents, to develop an alternative, to continue to litigate, to exchange
patent rights etc. I wouldn't expect any radical change in Android phones
