jury is in. Apple wins $120,000,000 in infringement of two Patents. Samsung wins $153,000 for their purchased patent on having the number of pictures in an album next to its iconbadging. Can anyone say "obvious" and "prior art?" PING!

Correct me if I’m wrong....but Apple likely expended at least a hundred million bucks in legal costs, lawyers, experts, etc....to get to this point. So of the $120 million in fines....they really make just $20 million off this effort?

Now maybe they can go away and realize that you can’t sue your way to a monopoly,
And maybe Android companies can team up and start litigating this patent troll too.

LOL!...all the while Samsung supplies Apple with parts to build their stuff...like displays. Sounds like a family quarrel.

A monopolistic giant BLEEDS, as it exits the courtroom.
Apple, as I remember them, when I had my LC475, had the same frame of mind, as the high priest with the bells on. You, the lowly, unknowing, owner of one of their products, was treated with disdain, when asked ‘what went wrong with the machine?’
At least that was my experience with the Portland, OR Apple shop, located on the Columbia river floodplain, near to the vicinity of Leatherman Tools.

The photos in the article of the "copycat cellphone" industry are quite telling -- particularly this one:
Yep, the old adage,
You can tell the leaders -- they're the ones with the arrows in their backs..."
...is as true now as it ever was...
