Apple-Samsung Saagaa .. Technology at risk ..

Definetly a major Win for Apple.After the verdict my emails and facebook were flooded with mixed emotions. Few liked the verdict as if they played a major role in the company itself and few were disappointment. I am not yet sure how I feel.

Whenever I think of Apple , first thing that comes to my mind is "arrogance" , "secretive culture" , "polished campaigns" , kind of a superior authority who thinks there customers are always wrong , "dumb" for that matter.

With Samsung and HTC One coming along and consumers moving away they just couldnt take the pain.Couldnt discover anything fascinating so

just decided to vobble on there

patent rights. I think Apple's ultimate targer is Android. The Samsung-Apple verdict was a good for Microsoft's Windows Phone. They were so incredibly happy that I heard they even tweeted about it.



Well, so what all these things really mean to us. First let me define US. When I say us, I mean we the consumers and then we the developers.So we the consumers looks like are not suppose to experience anything new or incredibly different. When I bought HTC One, I was fascinated with the whole experience , the UI , the interactions , amazing is the word for it. WHen I saw Samsung Galaxy I had similar reactions. So with all this drama am I again going to be forced to see that IE icon on my screen and use it even if I hate it and may be pay for some stupid upgrades or if you dont want that then may be pay some ridiculous about for an Apple product and if even you dont exactly get why it is so pricy still pretend as if it is cool, just to be part of "that" crowd.





With n going dramas of different browsers ,different engine and different OS, us the developers never had a good time with any of them. I just forsee the matter getting worse as if no one comes up with a pattern then it might get more challenging and then us the consumers might often get more messages saying , we do not support this version and blah blah blah





I strongly feel, that if any patent or rather on that matter any two competitors interfere in a growing technology it should be strongly discouraged. In today's world where we all are starving to achieve something new does it really matters whether some freaky layout is similar. That reminds me , doesnt all the touchpads have similar layout ?





I heard yesterday google and Apple are talking about patents . Wonder what that will bring up next.. but for now its Microsoft who is on the lead... so YAY Microsoft!!!
