tdgeek:SteveON: About time Apple got a taste of their own medicine... I seem to remember Apple suing Microsoft for countless things... for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer,_Inc._v._Microsoft_Corporation
It's about time the digital patient system was reworked.
I should have studied IP law.
Own medicine???? I guess your biased. Whether its Apple, Microsoft or whoever, if a company invents or creates an idea or device first, they have copyright, in terms of a patent. Apple began the GUI, it began the smartphone, so it has taken action when required. The same applies if Apple used something that is held as patent by Microsoft or Samsung or whoever. Samsung says Apple is using its wifi technology, so fine, they will resolve that in civil court. Thats business.
These issues happen in business, its not an Apple thing. Its business.

Uh, no. Smartphones existed long before the iPhone - many of them running Microsoft's phone OS. They didn't sell as well as the iPhone, but your claim is that Apple began the smartphone, which is a flat out lie. Same for the GUI. which Apple obtained from Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. There's lots of debate as to whether Apple legitimately acquired the concept from Xerox, so I won't go into it. But Apple didn't begin that either.
Don't call me a liar. But believe what you wish to, bias doesn't add value to a discussion.
