Um...the new iphone map app is, like, the same as google maps
wraith808:
Somewhere in an Eye for an Eye, comes Legal Precedent. If Apple wins a wild lawsuit based on a rounded corner, then why not have Google win one back on Maps? It hits the meta level of what we think precedent means and how basic it can become.
Lots of pundits are looking for a watershed where we all finally say "enough - no more".

Why not overturn the Apple lawsuit, instead of trying to make it legal precedent? If you make it legal precedent, then you can bet that people will use (and misuse) it. Again... why propagate the issue?

Google founders are big fan of Steve, there's a reason why google has minimal product folio these days with no Glabs and all. Not to forget, G is loaded with apple fanboys, just take a look at G plus. We live in sadistic world where "if apple does it, thats fair and if others are doing it, that's gotta be unfair". It will stop at the end of 2019 perhaps when apple hype gets over people.

Of course, see Groklaw, there were several fishy things. You can bet Senior Legal Counsel of Samsung is prepping for the Appeal. You just know it won't end here. It does take time to prepare the 200 pages of appeal research though.

Well of course. But what I mean is that people are saying take advantage of the ruling that is in place. That way will lead into more of the same mess we're already in with patent law. It's better to prove all of it wrong rather than cherry-pick.
