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.

This is true and Apple's case will eventually fade to the background just as the Nokia case did and Microsoft's case(s). If anything, it should be a sign that the US patent system needs to be looked at and reviewed, not completely rebuilt, but rather revamped.

I've said it before and I will say it again. Apple needs to compete on, and thus focus on the quality of their products. Not sue everyone else into the ground because they feel threatened. Apple will just keep squeezing out incremental changes to their devices and suing everyone else until they are the only ones left standing.

Maybe they should let Woz run the company, he seems to be the last innovator left.

I can't believe these guys just called the Woz "infamous".

Does infamous not mean "evil" or "bad reputation"? How come people keep using it as if its a good thing?

Infamous does indeed refer to the bad kind of fame - this is either a simple brain fart, or possibly the writer just doesn't have a very sound grasp of the language.

Apple should have won a copyright case against Samsung clearly copying too much of the overall iPhone design. Instead Apple won a patent case which sucks for everyone, not just Samsung. A litigious Apple could use this win against other Android (and smart-phone in general) manufactures.

@potatolicous - Maybe they are Canadian? We seem to use that word wrong all the time.

Lets just call him LEGENDARY.

In what world does Apple not focus on the quality of their products?

Maybe they're the biggest public company in the world because Woz has never been in charge?
