Although Apple brought this on themselves for starting this bar brawl in the first place, the only losers here are consumers. Patent law is stupid and silly, and should be changed.
Can't say I'm not happy for this, though. Karma is a *****.

Hello everyone,
If you don't know today is a bad day for Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners. If you haven't heard yet Apple Inc. won a preliminary ban against all Galaxy Nexus sales in the United States. This is bad for all things android and I have created a petition so hopefully all of you will sign it.
Also please share with your friends and family and everything else. Don't let this go unanswered.
http://t.co/c97hudxY
Also if anyone can make a picture or something for me as a logo that would be great.
If you have any suggestions on anything I should add to the petition please tell me.
Here is another petition for the same thing.

Yeah I agree banning Nexus sales is a bad marketing move, But is this a petition to close Apple? If yes, then I would say just make a petition to unban Nexus sales rather than hit on Apple itself.

all it says is to stop filing stupid lawsuits and compete like companies really should so no its not a petition to close apple
I signed it. Its time for Apple to compete with innovative products rather than patent trolling companies to fight back.
Thanks everyone for 50 signatures please share my petition with your friends and anyone that cares.

And one of the four alleged infringements was (again) the slide-to-unlock:

Apple is doing its worst as always but i'm definitely surprised about the court's decision instead.
I'd sign it if it didn't read like it was written like an uneducated high schooler with no actual understanding of patent law or the actual case at hand. No offense OP but these petitions rarely accomplish anything, let alone when they are written like this. My advice is to read up and rewrite this from an intellectual and educated standpoint. Once again, no offense is intended.

But Google and its OEMs might. And politicians who want to be re-elected might as well.
Stop being soggy worms, people. It is a bad habit to discourage people who actually do something to fight for what they believe in--- and is symptomatic of malicious envy. Especially if helping the person doesn't make you lose anything.

The siri patent is what's been used by apple to get the nexus banned because googles search feature in android violates their patent...despite existing before apples patent ever did.
But yes it beats siri in tests. Shame it will end up having to be removed sooner or later though.

Voice search has ALWAYS been more functional and reliable than Siri. When I had my iPhone 4S the thing I missed the most from Android was voice search. Siri rarely works right and is a novelty at best.
I wonder why people prefer to use voice search. It just wastes time.
But it can be used as a SHOW OFF in the public.

No they don't have a strong defence as although prior art should count it doesn't seem to.
Case in point is the slide to unlock patent. Apple patented it after seeing a phone that came out before iphone. That should mean patent is invalidated but still apple are successfully using it.

That's the point...slide to unlock was copied from a phone that came out before iphone. How can it be ok for apple to have that as a "unique" feature but not the search?
Both existed before iphone had or patented them so why should either be allowed to be unique to apple?

Well, I stand on the neutral side.
Other than the fact that I prefer the TTS from Google Now's voice assistant, I think that:
In the first half of the video, Siri seems more interactive (i.e. answering 'tell me a joke') and a little faster at internal application operations, while in the next half of the video shows Google Now's ability of performing quick Internet searches and delivering results in a nice format.
To be honest I was expecting it to be near Siri, maybe as "ok" as Siri. But it blew my mind.
Google nailed it and hopefully they will keep bringing new stuff to this game.

It is a lot faster.
Apple isn't new to the art of taking other companies ideas and saying its their own. Take the mouse for instance that Xerox devs invented. Microsoft got smart and pirated the pirate. Which is when they gained the lead for so long. Apple used to be about innovation and thinking different. Now the motto should be ... Think Different. Be Sued.

Too much money in it for the government not to step in. Some money will be paid from android to apple but that's all that will happen if the patents are upheld.
I would laugh if Apple tries to sue Google for the several things they stole from android. Especially noted the drop down notification bar that I recently saw my girlfriends iPhone has the ability to do.
I hope Google tries to fight back on that stuff.

Why do bad things *apple* happen to good people *Google*.
Apple is pretty stupid to sue Google for what they created and improved. Apple is just a monopolizing S.O.B.
Apple is just a rotten fruit that will decay soon, I hope Google does something about this.
This is nothing new. Although Apple has made strides in their field, they try to kill off any decent competition in their market. They'll patent **** that shouldn't be patented and sue based on that. For example, suing Samsung for using slide to unlock. They're pretty pathetic overall. Apple will never decay, which is both a bad and a good thing. They simply have incredible marketing and brand management. That's why they can release something small like video recording on a brand new piece of hardware, and people will upgrade to it without hesitation.

Nice to see someone gets it. Apple is the largest US company by market cap. Not only the largest but as of right now it's 50% larger than second place(Exxon-Mobile). It's not going anywhere for a very long time. While it's tactics may seem dirty to the public this stuff happens all the time in the business world. That's why we have a patent office in this country. You can hate apple all you want but it won't make them go away. Their business model is second to none and they will continue to grow.
Companies are doing underhanded things in order to obtain an advantage over their competition? Tha-tha-that's not fair! My trust in huge, faceless, multinational corporations is forever shaken!

The same thing I said upthread. Sammi just has to pay out some cash. They're already appealing so it will take another year before the final amount gets hashed out. As it stands now Apple asked for 2.5B in damages and was awarded 1.05B. Android ain't going anywhere. Neither is Apple.

While I am happy that someone is fighting back against Apple, and am defenately on Googles side on that one, I am asking myself where all of these trends are leading.
Instead of being concerned about User satisfaction and service, companies seem to tend more and more towards monopolizing and trying to get features from other devices and applications, instead of just leading onward and trying to get the best product.
I think a little competition goes a long way in increasing development, and history has shown in many cases that certain developments are being made by different parties independantly once their time has come.
In the end I believe that no matter who wins or loses the lawsits, if this trend goes on the way it does, the only one losing out will be the users.
I just see a much brighter future with companies supporting and encouraging eachother, instead of fighting.
After all, theres enough money, users and applications for everyone.

That is what everyone EXCEPT for Apple wanted. But, someone has to fight back. One of the main reasons Samsung lost the case is that they spent most of their time on defense. Apple has spent so much time playing offense, let's see how they fair when the tables are turned. And that article hardly goes into what the case is really for.

Ya that's true! I honestly think that the reason why apple had that law suite was because they are scared of android and the popularity of it. Apple wants to be at the top of the market and bringing google down is in there agenda IMO. I just hope that this dosent turn into law suite after law suite, then it would make both companies look bad and nothing would get done. I think google should take on apple and do what they have to do and put an end to this mess
I'm definitely on Google side...
Go Google...Go Android..
