I seriously can't believe how much money Apple has been able to troll out of those rounded corners and that end-of-list overscroll effect.

And now, to top it off, iOS 7 is built on the holo-principles of Android. It's almost like Apple is doing it merely to taunt its foreign competitors, saying very, very clearly: "Sorry guys. I'm untouchable".

Utterly disgusting.

At least their attempts to outright ban products have been less successful as of late. There's some hope for a civilized world.

So a ~$930mm final judgement. Now for another 5years of appeals

I think the original amount was cut to $600 million so the total would be $890 million. I don't think Apple is too concerned about the size of the judgement either way. EDIT: I stand corrected!

The first judgement was cut to $639mm [1]

Q: How much money is this retrial about? A: It's about a replacement amount for a $410 million portion of the August 2012 $1.049 billion verdict. The replacement amount could be more or less than the original one. Apple will be awarded (subject to an appeal) $639 million plus the replacement amount.

I'm pretty sure there was more to it than rounded corners.

You should probably read more than the title and abstract of a patent.

Yeah, it's not like they went screen by screen through the iPhone and said 'hey, we need to do what they're doing...'
