Here's a idea why not post this boring crap in the massive 1000+ posts thread.

$100 million is peanuts to companies the size of Apple, Google and many others.

After all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Cool

The idea that $100 million is peanuts to any company is absurd. In the great scheme of things, it's not a lot compared to their turnover, but I doubt they would relish 'losing' it at all.

I don't know why Apple pursue this course of action, it just ends up in counter suits and detracts from either party getting on with the business of creating better products for everyone.

It just seems to me they wish to become the next Microsoft, and then everyone will end up hating them anyway and then there will be a backlash

Jobs may be dead, but it would appear his irrational hatred lives on .

So amusing how people seem to think Apple invented the law suit. They invent a lot but going to court isn't one of theirs.

Good God, something that Jack doesn't think Apple invented!

They may not have invented it, but they are certainly trying to perfect it...

Apple don't invent anything, they just like to take someone else's idea and make good use of it, and by god are they making good use of the law suit!
