When was the last time you used an Android device?? haha. I've actually NEVER seen slide to unlock on Android (with that wording and icon sliding across) - perhaps the Galaxy S had it 6 years ago.
No, no, no, the Galaxy S had "Sweep to unlock", obviously completely different to "Slide to unlock", totally, totally different, nothing similar at all.
Very high levels of sarcasm detected, proceed with caution.
2) There is no game except the one you're playing with yourself.
3) Pay attention, there is no whining or complaining, just a question about how much the law firms are banking from all these iPhone-related legal fees.
4) Again, pay attention, there was no statement about Apple paying one a billion dollars to lawyers. No fucking clue how you could have even read into such a ludicrous statement.
I'll rephrase, all the money that Apple has spent on lawyers and lawsuits is nowhere near what those lawyers have made for Apple, the effect on Apples ability to pay for R&D is a positive one i.e. Apple has more money to spend thanks to these lawsuits.
Saying that these lawsuits have any effect on Apple's ability to innovate is absolutely ludicrous.
Yet that tired old line is trotted out, over and over again, usually several times in any thread discussing Apple and lawsuits.
The samsung should not to copy from everybody in the United States. The google should not to buy smartphones from oversea Chinese phone maker vendors. I prefer the smartphones maker vendors made in the United States instead China.
Why not just come right out with how little it’s worth? You know how little it’s worth.

None of your comments address my query and now you're oddly including "Saying that these lawsuits have any effect on Apple's ability to innovate is absolutely ludicrous" when in no way did I suggest such a thing.

A computer and a CDROM drive. It's highly likely that sites receiving
thousands of pages of phone bill a month already own such equipment.
If not, the cost is nothing compared to the ability gained to track phone
usage.
Of course, the downside might be: no more sneaking in long distance calls
to relatives and girlfriends

That would be me. Someone there already took Gatorguy (wonder for what reason). I was trying to find out what his actual experience was and what he does. Never got an answer from him so had no interest in spending any time there. The smarter and more connected guys seem to be here.
The rest of your post is bordering on stalker-ish IMO. If it was details you chose not to share about yourself here I suspect you'd look at it that way too. If I were to know some personal details about some of the members here I'd have the courtesy to keep it to myself and not step on someone's toes, intruding and making implications for no other reason than being ornery.
For someone like yourself with a stated objection to Google collecting information about us anonymized or not you seem to have no issue with publicly broadcasting whatever personal information you collect about someone else. More than a little disingenuous. Perhaps you should consider a bit of editing in your last post. There's already way too much in the way of personal attacks in different forums that have little to nothing to do with intelligent discussions.

I agree that it's not ok ok to be stalker-ish. Then again, it's all online and can be found thanks to search engines. By anyone. Still, you make a valid point.

I indeed disapprove of Google's ways (for many reasons) but rehashing seems to be the MO of the blogosphere nowadays. To be clear on the subject: I don't have any gripes with the person. I may have disagreed with (some of) his opinions, but I didn't make any derogatory posts about him, or his profession.

Good point! It was indeed not only a useless post, OT, and a little too personal but editing it out is a bit dumb if you ask me; AI sends out the email before one can edit their post, and I think I leave it as-is so people can see I make useless posts and can block me for that reason.
PS sorry for the slow reply, I just had to watch a great piece from Blackadder.
PPS this site could use a thumbs-down system so I can see other peoples' view on my lame post.

The only people that get emails are the ones that subscribe to the thread. That's not many. Probably even fewer read them. Don't let that affect your choice to leave it or not.
As for Google and personal information it's all on-line for them to collect too just as you have. The difference? They don't see a need to share it without the person's permission. Yet they're evil. . .
Exactly, specially the so called "slide to unlock" button is very funny...this is so ridiculous.....my old Sony laptop has a physical button that slides to enable or disable wireless internet. But apple only implemented this idea in software....and now claim their invention. WOW...here most people who commented here are Americans, and no matter what, they just want a foreign company like Samsung to loss...that is very obvious.
that settlement amount should just about cover the lawyers' bills. funny how things work out that way, almost like the system planned it in advance . . .
. . . and it's certainly nice to know it happens to "corporations are people too™" not just the little guy in class actions.
Yes you can. However the odds aren't great. About 20% get overturned in favor of the plaintiff. I've said it many times, this was never going to go well for Apple, not because of the laws it's the mindset when it comes to stealing IP. We live in a world that steals music, video games, movies, computer software by the millions on a daily basis, it's seen as a victimless crime.
In the thread with the breakdown of damages island hermit posted the top news headlines it's rather telling. Did Samsung steal of course they did, was it unethical of course, it's getting a jury to see it as serious crime. The one certain fact is the lawyers will always do well.

The pundits say Samsung and Google won in the end. They are wrong. Guilty is guilty. These days a lot of people have thick face skins. Their noses are also especially long. They all know Jobs outrages. They pretend they have not read Jobs words.
From now on, no Androids can use these three court validated patents. Without slide to unlock, without data detection, the Android users know they are hopelessly using an inferior device.
