8 Samsung phones Apple wants banned (pictures)

Strange, of all the Samsung devices images above I can't see:
An Apple port interface
IOS
Non reuser replacable batteries
A round Start menu button
Exhorbitant appearance over function pricing

Just what did these US based jurors make their decision on? That the device had a shiny trim and rounded corners? As far as I'm aware the Galaxy SII doesn't even have a shiny metal surround. Just what has Apple patented then?
During some of the "development" images I have seen the Nokia Lumia would match against a Apple design with its slopey end corners. Perhaps Nokia will be next on the Apply radar? In fact, just how many versions of a chocolate block phone design are possible without breaching Apple's design ideas?

Surely designing a phone to fit inside a rectangle is obvious, and should never have been allowed a patent?

In my view Samsung should forthwith stop all further supply of chips and components to Apple. Since there has been a "breach" surely all supply and purchase agreements are now void? Let Apple go forth and get their components wherever they can. Yeah right!

While I understand the need for hardware (physical) patents, I still am a firm believer that software patents should not be allowed. Now just a "look and feel" is all that is needed to violate a patent. Let's just award Compton's New Media their 1993 patent that covered using multimedia on a CD-ROM that was repealed after public outcry. In fact, let's make it so that no one can compete with anyone on any level of software. When that happens I think I will stop using computers. I mean isn't that the point of copyrighting software??? --feeling annoyed

They would patent the concept of turning the steering wheel clockwise to turn right, pressing on the gas pedal with your right foot, the H pattern of the stick shift. . . the possibilities are endless.

I thought, or maybe hoped, that the arrogance of this company would pass away with Steve Jobs. Apparently not so! I have never owned an Apple product and most likely never will until and unless they change their tactics. I'm sure they won't care, but I do.

Part of being in business is dealing with competition. I have seen the Samsung phones and think they are fantastic! Apple does not own the world nor market. To think that they can dominate a market by suing another company out of competition is arrogant and irresponsible.

I was disappointed. I thought the individual infringements were going to be described.

I don't suppose anybody didn't know that Apple stole the whole GUI and the mouse from Zerox. I remember seeing a movie about the coming "paperless office". I think it might have been in '70 when we were delighted to get our Copier on the Klondike, I was the personnel and legal officer.
I have a very personal philosophical and practical connection with this. I am considered an excellent technical writer-editor. I was a contractor, so, my work was "for hire". However. the government's copyright was not exclusive. I could use anything which was determined not to be a security breach, after review, like that SEAL didn't do. Steve Jobs was a plagerist. There was nothing evil about the guys making a few free phone calls; that was reasearch and development. Real hacking is not evil. If I decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or modify anything, that becomes my work of art, and I will gladly license my work to you. But Jobs contract with Atari was $3,500 to write the OS for their computer. He would get a bonus for every CHIP he re-designed that would reduce the number of chips in the computre. He had Wozniac design the chips and turned them in as his own. Jobs got, I think, a $35,000 bonus, correct me if I am off, He paid Wozniac half of the basic contract, but never paid him a cent of the bonus. I was writijg up a mild reminder and suggestion to repent of his ways. (I have been a full-time Christian Lay-minister for over thirty years, but Buddism teaches you not to cheat your neighbos too.)
Jobs seemed to keep the same philosiphy, There is a principal, and it is in Intrnational Law, the if an invention is so fundamental, (and simple), and is neccessary for a whole system, that you have to license it. Quit fighting over finger waves; just go ahead and license it. Jus stand down and "settle out of court", and both sides eat their own rediculous legal fees. The patent or copyright is for the benefit of the PUBLIC, not the producer. It seems the Apple still hasn't fallen far enough from the tree.
