To sum it up:

They out-Jobs Steve Jobs.

[ShadowAce]

Apple ping

[Emperor Palpatine]

I could care less.

Both sides are turds in my book.

Jobs for his cult

Google for sleeping with the Chicoms.

I’d love to see Apple and Google both go down in flames, lost jobs, and bankruptcy.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Throw Bill Gates into the mix and we can hear more about intellectual propoerty spats.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Jobs stole from Xerox and now karma has come to bite him. What comes around, goes around, Stevie!

[ShadowAce]

I don’t like either company, either. I don’t use any Apple product, and I use Google as little as possible.

[Emperor Palpatine]

Thew funny thing is, Jobs, Gates, and the Google troika are the kind of pimply-faced sissy marys I used to beat up and push into lockers when I was in high school.

Too bad they stopped getting the treatment geeks and nerds deserve.

WTF is wrong with you?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Bingo.

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

Too bad they stopped getting the treatment geeks and nerds deserve. You're a douchebag. Crawl back into your hole and never bother anybody again.

Ping to read later.

This article is a pretty pathetic Apple fanboy article. Bottom line, poor Steve Jobs got his feelings hurt that a close business partner decided to play in his sandbox. It ignores that fact that Microsoft was already producing touch screen phones that predate the Iphone. The form factor of a rectangular, touch-screen data phone is not original to Apple. I hope Apple loses big in this whole thing.

I’ll never understand why Jobs trusted the Googlers that much in the first place. It was clear they abandoned their “Don’t be evil” mantra at the point where the company got serious. Oh well, copying Apple’s innovations is a long-standing tradition in the high-tech business; it’s been going on since the 1980’s... ask Microsoft for example...

1. Perfectly sums it up.
2. You can’t patent an idea. In this case the idea was a rectangular phone with a touchscreen on which 3rd party apps can run.

Man, for some reason this thread really drew the creepy-crawlies out of the woodwork.... I think I’ll just step aside and let them stew in their own juices. See ya later.

[Astronaut]

Oh, you cant say anything bad about Steve Jobs! The Apple fanboys still worship his corpse. Apple/Jobs can never do any wrong.

[Emperor Palpatine]

No.

Jocks always rule and always will.
