What a POS judge.

What’s the point of going to court if the defendant isn’t even allowed to defend themselves?

If Apple wins any rulings in this case, now it won’t be based on merit but rather on technicality.

Are any of you business owners? Do you teach your kids it’s ok to steal from a store as long as its less than $1? If it infringes on a standing patent then it’s a valid case. Until the patent office quotes giving out vague patents we will continue to see these suits and rightfully so. Fix the patent system and things like this will begin to fade away.

Believe it or not this is actually one of Apples best complaints as frivolous as it is. The vast majority of their patent claims have been far more petty than this. I don’t blame Apple for defending this one if it can be shown that it adds to iOS own distinct flavour. On the other hand i don’t blame any company for wanting to challenge Apples patents as most of them aren’t worth the paper their written on. To be fair though, as odvious as this patent is there are other ways to show that a page comes to an end. Personally i like the way it’s done in ICS where the page tilts at the end of the app list, they should do that in all situations when scrolling. It looks better and is more impressive than the bounce effect.

It is sad that courtrooms instead of showrooms shelves have become a place where some Companies have chosen to do their competing. Human beings with all our biases and sometimes prone to external influence are now called upon to decide which company should have what tech on their devices. Both are doing very very well, so why the back and fourth in courtrooms which will just make some customers develop animosity towards the perpetual offender of these litigations.

Is this really what they fight about now? The bounce of a scrolling list. C’mon Apple. I guess you’ve completely run out of ideas…
