And the patent insanity continues: German court rules iPhone/iPad infringe on a Motorola patent

[thewayne]

"A German court has ruled that Apple's iPhone and iPad devices infringe a Motorola patent and issued an injunction against sales of the products in Germany, in the latest move in a long series of legal battles between the companies. It's the latest stage in the international patent conflict that's been raging over mobile devices, which has included the recent Samsung victory over Apple in an Australian court and a defeat for Samsung in a Dutch court."

I wonder if this is Motorola Motorola or Google Motorola?

So crazy. There's only so many metaphors that you can use to express using a computer. So much ridiculous shenanigans going on: I recently received an email notification of a class action settlement against Ticketmaster that I would get $1.50 credit IF I BOUGHT ANOTHER TICKET FROM TICKETMASTER. Certain types of attorneys are definitely in the right biz.

Oh, man. Is it possible that in all of this patent wars, each of these companies will use their heads to eat their tails and it will all end up in the public domain?

As the French would say, 'Le fat chance.'

Oh, certainly, but we can hope.
