I feel like the craziness is only just beginning.

It has long since begun.

It is beyond me, why everyone chooses to ignore Nokia's taking a chunk out of Apple and Microsoft taking a chunk out of HTC, Samsung and Barnes & Nobles.

Apple's case isn't anything new.

I hope he's right that this gets reversed.

Apple makes a lot of best-in-class products (and I know some people that think everything they make is best-in-class).

Do they think they need to do this kind of litigation to keep making products people will buy? Are they trying to discredit Samsung as copycats? Or is it just a case of "if it costs us $100m to pursue 10 lawsuits with a 5% chance of any one of them getting us a $1b reward, it's a positive business move" sort of thing?
