Thread: Apple's Frivolous Patent Bullying tactics doing it no favours

apple is no innovator, except in the marketing department

it's because they have failed to develop any kind of meaningful innovation that they have to fall back on those silly innovation like "patenting of wedge shaped laptops"

I mean WTF ? how is that fucking useful ? it's not, unless you are a retard like Quack Quack who is equally mediocre and futile as apple inventions

Your persistence and resilience in the face of your own mediocrity is admirable.

Unfortunately you continue to be irrelevant - your bile and bitterness must really be running over when realizing you have achieved nothing. Apple is still :

- the largest company on the planet, having eclipsed Dell, Microsoft, and recently Exxon.
- most successful single mobile operating system manufacturer.
- largest Unix vendor on the planet (splitting hairs, but why not).
- enjoys the biggest consumer loyalty.
- has the best consumer satisfaction.

Your (and your friends') petty trolling doesn't dissuade any of the hundreds of millions of satisfied Apple consumers, of whom a large percentage move on to purchase another Apple product. It really doesn't matter how much you stomp your leg, and how many repeat lies your roommates Harry & Baldrick throw out there.

...and that's what halls you most, isn't it, how irrelevant you are...

... and that's what makes this most enjoyable

how is that relevant in the innovation department ? it's not, proving again my point for which you have no argument, only demonstrating your own mediocrity for addressing the question

Next we'll have a tyre company patenting round tyres.

I am sure apple has a patent on persuading the easily impressionable lowest common denominators to buy overpriced fisher price level fashion accessories.

there are similarities between apple marketing and fast food premium toy advertising to children

Reasonable? Not necessarily.

But if the patent system allows it, they would be fools *not* to do it, quite simply.

Has Apple sued anyone over the wedge shape? *filing* and receiving a patent are quite different to actually suing over something. Have they?

^not really, you don't need to patent to protect yourself, you can simply put the idea into the public domain. Which add more fuel to the fire that their comments about the patent system needing reform are simply worlds.

BTW that air like sony laptop, weighed in at about 600g, had a carbon fibre case, a PII processor and is about 10 years old

That's a very idealistic viewpoint, unfortunately, it also doesn't hold true.

I asked a very simple question - how many lawsuits has Apple filed over the wedge shaped laptop design?

are you retarded or just baiting ?

the only true "innovations" by apple were the "Apple 1" and "Apple II" and the first Mac

commercial and technical success on a "niche" of aficionados, not a "mass" of retards

Just as I thought - when pressed to answer a relevant question, you can't.

Gee, why is that?

no, he's just steve job's calgary.

though I must say a man blinded by his desire to bang a dead man is far creepier than a man blinded by his desire to bang the PM.

I guess it's too much to ask for you to make an attempt at making sense, or maybe even staying on topic?

I just asking you to answer a simple question, butterfly - yet, you evade it.

Duly noted.

I answered like 100 fucking times already, so get another fucking hobby you fucking idiot

did that answer it ?

Cthulhu is the kind of devoted mindless malleable muppet companies love.
He's been SOLD baby.
He bought the whole thing, no more need for thinking.

The same way that McDonald's became one of the biggest retailers of fast food in the world. marketing and McDonald's I don't think the quality of their food had anything to do with it.

Nope, it didn't. You just keep avoiding answering. It's very obvious.

Because you don't actually know, because you never thought about it. Isn't that it?

Thanks for helping out butterfly. He was really lost.

Marketing, uh ... huh...

Microsoft spends 6x more on marketing than Apple. What happened?

MacDonalds' sells convenience, so you are close.
