		gouranga on July 4, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Galaxy Nexus ban remains, Apple posts $95.6M bond,... They're only pissed off because Android sells at a lower margin and a lower price point and therefore has more volume and marketshare. If they actually cared about the similarities, they would have picked a fight earlier on. They only pick a fight now as the successor is competitive enough to win some cash off, so it's less risky. I have no respect for anyone who does this. Fuck them.

This is exactly the problem. All the arguments about copying are just a smoke screen for an attack on a successful competitor.

Unfortunately for Apple these suits put the Android vendors in the role of the underdog and people tend to root for the underdog.
