Swordmaker has brilliant posts and your comments from rereading Tomczyk’s book are accurate, in my opinion. “Their teams of lawyers... are the true heart and soul of the company.”

Good thieves feel regret when busted and bad thieves blame others when busted. Let’s see how Samsung responds in court. It is clear that Samsung stole from Apple.

I read Gil Amelio’s Firing Line in 1999 and learned how Amelio was blamed for many of Apple’s weaknesses by bad thieves who could not keep up with Jobs or Gates. Of course, Jobs stole from his engineers and blamed others when they asked for credit. Thus, Apple is genius, Samsung is copy cat, and both are not squeaky clean.

I agree that swordmaker’s posts are brilliant. No one knows more history of the tech sector over the past 30 years on this site. Sometimes his complete devotion to Apple does cause him to slant his posts a bit, but I certainly respect his knowledge and am grateful that he continues to share it.

Meh. I don't see how this should even fall under patent law. It's a design/shape/where the button is. Anyone can do that. Patents are supposed to protect the design, the HOW of how something works. If anything, Apple should have trademarked their designs, not patented them. And their software would be copyrighted.
