VIA Technologies Files Patent Lawsuit Against Apple Over iOS Device Processors

Everyone wants a piece of the Apple pie, now that Apple's changed the game (several times) and the also-rans are struggling in key markets because they just can't capture consumer interest like Apple can.

Except Apple didn't do it by strong-arming.

They didn't do it by anti-competitive activity that landed them a conviction.

They didn't do it by compulsion, duress, or brute force.

They did it by creating great products, by actually giving a damn about what they put their name to, and by following this guy's vision:

It's that simple. And the surprising (or not so surprising) thing is, is that the also-rans still haven't figured it out, well over a decade later.

Everyone has patents on everyone else, Apple has gone on the offensive, probably forcing a dozen companies hands with preemptive lawsuits incase Apple digs up some antique patent them.

Please tell me this, why is it when Apple is suing, they are the Noble Knight in shining Armour, defending their hard worked ideas and inventions. But when someone sues Apple, its the company:


* Being greedy
* Doing it because they're scared of Apple
* Patent Trolling
* It's must be their only source of income
* They want a piece of "Apples Pie"


And no, I will not accept "But, but Apple revolutionized xxxxx and yyyyy. This makes them above the law"

Funny how just last week the CEO of VIA and his wife, who is the CEO of HTC were shopping at an Apple Store.

Now lawsuit?

LOL:apple:

I think it's time to change the site name to MacOSLawsuits.

What comes around goes around. Apple is merely getting a taste of its own medicine.

I think everyone should simply stop making or selling anything. Then all the patent disputes would dry up.
