yes but did Yahoo have any patents protecting them?
yes true lots of things were invented by other people. Alexander bell did not invent the telephone, Elisha Gray did, but bell patented it first. So in legal terms it matters who patents first. It's our law. Like i said those who complain, change the law. No one said a word when apple filed these patents, why not? patent filings are public information. I am willing to bet even if anyone of you saw one of these patents the day they were filed, you would not have cared a wit. Ill bet good money on that.
No one is complaining about any of Google's patents, why? what if they were to defend one of their patents? they would you know. Look, it's a free country, hate who you want for what ever reasons, some people posting here may be kids, teenagers, and may not understand a lot of this and how the grown up world works. If any of you here are developers, and want to do so to support yourselves and your families, would you not want to protect your intellectual property? it all seems so silly for everyone to say how stupid it is and blah blah blah, but this is about peoples property, that they legally own now, whine all you want, it won't change that fact.
Besides, given the big possibility for a big time negative pall it could cast over the company, do you think they would do it if they felt it was frivulous? seems they are taking this pretty serious risk to their reputation for in some peoples words "just to be stupid"
Know what, if apple really does not have a case they will lose, and Htc and Google et all will be vindicated.
Yes i am a fan of apple, so what? i also like Google. i use Google chrome, gmail, Google voice, google search..i love their stuff, really do. One of the reasons i decided to try Android. It works pretty well with Google services.
Now I dislike google for the politics they run with, but it is not enough to stop me from using their products, for some it could be a deciding factor, to each their own i guess.
