you talk as if theyve never been sued before

DigitalUK · Sep 22, 2011

cant find any info i what the infringment is, is it some instruction set added that belonged to via or apple added a part to the arm core that "belonged" to them.

I know i just modded it since all of apples products are glass and aluminum. seemed like a good idea at the time.

Except those who aren't taken in by hype and overpriced glitz items. In other words, only the smart people will live.

So this would be bad, how? :laugh:

Yes, I despise Apple to the point of reaching for synonyms, but in this case I don't see how VIA will win. I mean, I'm glad somebody is suing Apple, but how exactly will VIA continue with this? What patents do they hold that Apple stole? I couldn't find out when researching the article, it all seemed very vague.

You reap what you sow , apple is getting its just deserts.

And if they lose i would of thought it would heart Apple a fair bit as i am sure VIA will go for damages as well.. Crafty though leaving it so long 1st.

At least it's not as petty as Apple suing Amazon lol. I guess what goes around comes around.

Apple suing samsung over the way you open your phone or other touchscreen device is vague. They just went after Samsung as the tab kicked their ass in reviews.

Due to their shitty practices I don't think i will ever own a Apple product.

Without apples, that dumb bitch Eve would never have been told to eat something by some talking snake (Seriously????) and we would all be living in some sort of retarded eternal bliss.

Right? so you can enjoy your VIA tablet and VIA phone

These guys just want to make a quick buck. They brought it up now hoping that apple would over-react and settle since the case is probably crap and would not stand up in a trial. They're hoping Apple will just pay them to go away.

VIA is not some patent troll trying to make a quick buck, my guess is some company has them riled up and going after apple.

Jegergrim · Sep 23, 2011

For the sake of us consumers, I hope either one of those "rallied" companies get a victory in court, because Apple has no mercy when it comes to prices and milking a market with their ****** software and hardware.

1c3d0g · Sep 23, 2011

Good. Apple had this coming. I hope every company with a relevant patent sues the hell out of them. Serves them right!

Frick · Sep 23, 2011

Nooo. I thought VIA was above this crap. Unless it's a valid lawsuit, but I doubt it.

GAR · Sep 23, 2011

Apple does make the best touch phones and tablets, period, VIA, stfu and go away. I dont like them as a company, i have issues with some of their business practices, but you cannot deny, they make a damn good tablet, and a damn good phone.

More food for me :rockout:

I can totally see some VIA employe going to the headquarters and saying
Employe: "Some random guy just dropped off this package, says its from Samsung."
HQ: "Well open it up."
Employe: "There are notes and pictures with highlights, there is a sticky note that says; here is evidence to ban Apple products, follow each step carefully.
PS: "F" Apple hard for us please"

xBruce88x · Sep 23, 2011

Here's a little bit of info on their site, not a whole lot but its something.

To all the people saying VIA is trolling, and that they should have sued at DEV or Launch... Do you have any idea how much it costs to persue a legal action? Especially against a company with pockets as deep as Apple's? For example, one of the local lawyers in town charges $500/hr. They're not even "well known" or "high-powered" laywers.

VIA had to wait until they knew it would be worth it, and until they had evidence to back them up. It takes a long time to build and follow through on a court case even if it is a sure bet, and somehow I doubt VIA had a spy in the iPhone Dev team...

VIA doesn't have a history of patent trolling. If this was Rambus, sure, I'd say they were just trolling. They've got a history of it, VIA doesn't. IIRC part of the legality surrounding patents, is if you don't protect your patents, and persue those who infringe on them, they effectively become null. (if the use of your patents becomes commonplace, and you don't sue anybody for it, it becomes harder and harder to win a patent case. again, IIRC. IANAL)

laszlo · Sep 23, 2011

via must have something real so they'll won this.

also samsung will won.. against the rotten apple.

Bo$$ · Sep 23, 2011

I really hope VIA win... After what they did to samsung they fucking deserve it

I know it won't happen but I hope they succeed. :toast:
