(4,528 posts)are justifying a really bad business practice. This "business strategy" of stealing patents and counter suing until the last minute to gain an advantage is close to criminal.
Maybe I'm being a bit "patriotic" but i look at Apple as being innovative. Was job's a turd at times?, absolutely. But he did change the phone market like no one else. He did change the music business(with crappy sound mind you) and he did make the tablet something that people wanted. Did he really 'invent"them. No but his critical mass and his power of his person did get them adapted and used.
Samsung(which best i can figure) is not American has never done one creative thing in the world and hardly cares about us is being defended by many of you. It's a shit company and you only defend them because you hate Apple.
I respect people with vision and made it on their own. I respect people like Ellison and Jobs. Homegrown guys who came from nothing. I don't really care if they were liberal or conservative. I hate rich guys (Kochs and Trump) who came fro money and tell us how to live because they"did it".
