Jury: Samsung violated Apple patents, owes more than $1B

[Dedworth]

I have a choice at home, but at work I have to use Apple products, for better or for worse. My boss insists. It's his business so he can choose. We all use Apple Macs. He is the "mug" with the brand new ferrari.

So besides his perceived IT expertise he has some competent employees making him loadsamoney

IT expertise? Where do you get that from?

He makes his money from his expertise, not specifically from his employees. IT isn't his field. Nothing perceived there. Sorry.

Try again....

Percieved IT expertise - you linked him being Apple to the core with driving a flash motor

I didn't say that he is an expert in IT. You did.

However you linked owning an Apple product to being a mug. Quite a common message from yourself. And an offensive one.

Try again.

Try again.

3rd and final try

Forget the words expert, IT and percieved - you linked his 100% support of brand Apple with him driving a brand new ferrari. A bit like the way the adverts link Lynx splashers with getting all the birds.

I presumed he was a bit of an IT expert like I also presume he's a successful businessman but he might be a bank robber using his ill gotten gains to prop up the company and finance his wheels for all I know

You have got a vivid imagination. Not everyone is scum of some sort or other. And not everyone who makes money does so by illgotten means or by robbing their employees.

The message I was trying to convey was in contrast to your connection between mugs and Apple, he is no mug.

Try again.

Now if I told you the name of my previous employer there's a fair chance you would give it some stick, as the whole world knows of its reputation.

From CNN Money

"Will we see any changes to future phone and tablet hardware?

The verdict strengthened Apple's design identity, and competitors may now be afraid to even toe the line of the iDevices' "look and feel."
Chris Carani, an intellectual property attorney and design law expert at McAndrews, Held & Malloy, says the verdict could spark "a burst of creativity" in the design of future devices. Competitors won't want to risk being slapped with a design infringement lawsuit, given that it costs so much money to roll out a new smartphone or tablet.
"Competitors will have to go back to the drawing board, and give their designers more creative license," Carani says. "They'll have to create something very different as far as the visual experience, and that choice could be a great benefit for consumers.""

Basically, this will force Apples competitors to be original and stop the copying of their product. Bias aside, probably a good thing for the consumer in the long run.

Nothing pathological about wanting value for money...goodness, let the kids pay over the odds...brand means everything, bugger the quality...surely we are all of a certain age not to be taken in by these blood sucking cretins...that's all what Ded's pointing out.

Which must be true ...you've linked Samsung owners to buying cheap brands...even, heavens forbid, drinking cheap coffee in cheap coffee houses...ooch!....
