Apple Throws a Tantrum

Apple Throws a Tantrum After Being Ordered to Tell Samsung Their HTC Secrets

The legal war between Samsung and Apple is going really well and they're both behaving like civil, reasonable adults. Ha, no, not really. Apple just threw a tantrum because they were ordered to tell Samsung a bunch of secrets that could potentially help Samsung keep their products on the shelves.

On Thursday, a judge ordered Apple to hand over information about their patent deal with HTC to Samsung. Samsung wants to see the patent agreement between HTC and Apple because it could potentially help their defense in Apple's crusade to get most of Samsung's biggest products taken off store shelves.

Why people keep buying this (overpriced)  Apple stuff? These "innovators" are the biggest threat to innovation.  :P

I love apple pie - apple just bought the lightening bolt trademark from Harley-davidson motorcycle so they can continue to use it along with the Swiss clock thing.

It must have been another one of its innovations they never paid for.

No, I think you are thinking of the Apple Tart, which is the smaller cheaper version.

Are we gonna mention Apple Crumble? Well, that case, we'll also need Android Ice Cream ...  ;D
