Google to Apple: "Actually, Go screw yourself"

I hate Apple anyway.

haha. i'm like 90% sure aapl could buy a controlling share in google with cash they have laying around the office.

not that you can do that to get out of a lawsuit, but still. google's just a little guy compared to aapl.

and yes, it's a good time to be a litigator in silicon valley. raking in cash hand over fist. any idea who counsel is?

This in a way is a direct consequence to the Apple Samsung lawsuit decision. I am all for open source so I hope Google wins.

Hey Ikari, long time no see. Glad another member of the Illuminati is here.

No clue. Don't know much about them bit mofo destroyed then just a week ago in the samsung case so I'm not quite sure why google would hand them something so similar so soon

For those that are interested in what exact patents Google is suing over and more exactly for what here's a good break down:

Listening to an almost completely closed hardware and software company like Apple use the word 'open' will be kind of funny.

I'm not a lawyer, so this is only a guess but because the children can't play nice eventually it looks like the USSC will have to get involved and make a ruling on all this nonsense..

I've always hated Apple. I appreciate their technology but it's never worth the inflated prices and consumer restrictions that they impose on their gullible fan-boy consumers. And as a part-time musician, I am soooo tired of hearing that "PC is for business, Mac is for creativity" bullshit. So not true, I'll take my Cubase and PC over Pro-Tools and Mac any day and when I was at Warner Studios back 2000 I watched the Macs being tossed in the trash like empty beer bottles.

Truth is, Mac hasn't had an edge on PC-based media platforms since the late 80's.

So on one hand I'm glad to see Google stick it to big-headed Apple. But on the other hand I'm really hoping Google isn't turning into Apple in the process.
