    I is very strange how these companies target Apple specifically rather than other companies who may also be infringing on their 'so called interlectual properties'. This has to stop, or the whole industry is going to take several steps backwards. Why didn't they put a stop to this several years ago when practically all of the IT would jumped into touch screen technologies?

    Business 101. You wait for the cow to get big and fat before you feast on it...simple as that.

    Yes, I think we all understand why companies do this, but why do we let them get away with it? If they seriously wanted to protect their interests they would have stepped in by now! Everyone seems to want a slice of the Apple pie these days!

    Apple is the big kid now and everybody short of money will target them for easy cash. It is easier to sue than to work. It's only a matter of time before apple growers and apple food products manufaturers sue for the name "Apple". With the new iPad mini coming, expect Kotex to sue when it comes out. Yeah, the name is reversed but shyster lawyers don't care.

    My car has this thing that if you turn it the engine starts, I think the door on your house uses the same thing, you copied it!

    Yeah, my car has 4 tires and wheels. If the ancestors of the inventor of the wheel know who they are they can sue all the tire companies.

    Maybe you can sue yourself back into profitability, its gotta be easier than making a product that people want.... Nokia are having great success with that one.

    Let's not forget that Apple started this patent war. All these decades everyone was peacefully copying each others concepts which to us end users was good competition that brought rapid improvements and kept prices low. Now we end up paying for all these loyalty fees that everyone is paying each other.

    Apple has a history of borrowing other people's stuff so I have read in various publications
