I've been reading this thread and I wonder when people say things like this. Do Apple employees/representatives truly give you (people) the impression that they and their company is "smug and full of arrogant pricks"? Or is it a function of their success in this particular judgment, the size of their company/profit margins? I'm not necessarily calling people in the thread fanboys, but it seems like so many people pick sides and get crazy emotional about the whole thing. The cell phone space is turning into the console vitriol of XBOX vs. PS3 vs. PC. It is almost like it is a personal offense to people when one company or another does well/poorly. Like a sports team or something.
Any complaint that I've heard about Apple, you can apply to Samsung and vice versa. Samsung has the same overseas working conditions, market success, patent and lawsuit games, sneaking court tactics, heck even government bribery and corruption scandals.
The actions of Apple in this particular litigation seems to make business sense. It is in their interest to do what they did given the business/patent landscape that exists. Samsung would do the exact same as Apple did I would imagine. And if Samsung won this court battle, I would say the same again for both sides.
Now to be fair, if the complaint is that Apple or Android fanboys are smug and arrogant pricks so poop on them and their respective camps - then we've got an amusing self fulfilling/perpetual situation here.
