Company says its rivals are being "anticompetitive" by trying to defend themselves with IP
In a scene straight out of Bizarro World, Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) lawyers are crying foul about Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (SEO:005930) and recent Google Inc. (GOOG) acquisitions Motorola's allegedly "anticompetitive" use of patents.
I. Apple Claims Android Phone makers are "Abusing" Patent System
Yes, this is the same Apple that has initiated a patent war [1][2][3][4][5] with these smartphone rivals. And it's the same rival that has tried to remove competing products from the market, rather than agree to negotiate a licensing fee. And it's the same company that patented multi-touch gestures 26 years after they were invented at a research university. And it's the same company that allegedly doctored evidence in European courts [1][2] to support its lawsuits against Android.
Yet in Apple's rose-colored glasses it is Samsung and Motorola who are bullies. Apparently Apple is irate about these companies'
countersuits, which rely largely on......

But there was a good reason for this: avoid software that could be malware. That's a problem that plagues the Android Marketplace.
I do think, though, that Apple should turn over certification of all iOS apps to a third party, though. Don't be surprised that when Jobs leaves the scene from Apple we'll see this change.

In a scene straight out of Bizarro World, Apple's lawyers are crying foul... Stories like this make me laugh at all of the Jobs lovers. Apple is the corporate Soviet Union. Except that Jobs figured out that Stalin didn't paint the gulags the right color, and call the guards "team mates" and refer to the KGB as "Fulfillment Helpers." If he had done that, the Russian women would have turned in their own families to the State so they could show their shiny new ipodskies to each other down at Starbucksky.
Like they've done here for years.
