Being At The Top Is Hard, Isn’t It?

First, I’ll give you sources.

Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.

So, I’ve determined, that Apple has issues. Which is no surprise, seeing how it’s a corporation, and corporations are considered people, and if they’re considered people, a psycho-analysis on them makes them psychopaths. (I just explained every action of any corporation ever didn’t I? )

I was going to post this as a comment on Facebook, but decided, that it was not the medium for this. So, here it is.

I disagree about the comment of Apple having a ‘sound case’ They don’t, especially if you think about it. Some of these things are along the lines of ‘how else do you expect it to be designed/displayed’ (e.g. the shape, face, icons; there are only so many ways you can draw an icon for settings that you can tell that’s what it is at a glance) others are things used on almost every portable device I’ve owned, (such as the cantilevered push button) and even others have been used on computers for years (the grid display.) There are only a few things that I see, in Apple’s list, that could actually be infringements, the metallic bezel, application notifications.

If anybody has actually handled an android tablet and an iPad, they are fairy different, especially when it comes to the icon displays on the home screen. iPad, is displayed in the same 4×4 grid with the dock on the bottom holding four icons. These icons are also forced into a place, having to go left to right, top to bottom, you can’t have an empty space between two icons. The display for an Android tablet, last I checked, was more like a desktop, allowing icons to be placed anywhere within a grid.

The argument, I believe, would be more appropriately geared toward the Galaxy S, rather than the Galaxy tab.

They say imitation is flattery, unless you’re a corporation, in that case, imitation is money. But then again, corporations are also psychopaths.
