They never have enough money, just enough suckers to pay for their products.

The article doesn't tell the audience that kodak sued apple prior to this, but that could've been a ploy to get apple interested in its patent portfolio. Kodak might be hoping that apple purchases them and this is a friendly way to do it.

Well said! This is not about the money but a cheap shot from Apple to get bargains or Freebies from the guys in the gutter.

It's funny how most consumers will boycott, name call, and get up in arms over Apple beating a company while it was down, how Apple can afford to purchase countries, etc. Not one peep or a drop in sales over the fact that they have some of the worst working conditions in the world. Why is it that we wont stand for for shady capitalism, but we will except slave labor. Sad sad world.

But then the question is where would Apple and the other big boys be without slave labor? We dont need iPhones or iPads but we need food and shelter - plenty of resources to achieve this globally but the money is tightly controlled and allocated for the very reason you mentioned.

Lawsuits seem to be CrApple's heroin... it's like they can't help themselves. I swear, if I put out a press release tomorrow stating that I have invented a new Left Nostril Inhaler, that glows in the dark & has your state motto on it (George Carlin) CrApple would be be taking bites out of my asshole like a starved lioness in a barrel filled with fattened hamsters (that's all me) claiming they invented the manner in which you stuck the thing in your nose in 12 other design features.
Somebody needs to come along like the guy did back in the 80s & find a crazy insignificant loophole find (think Disney) & patent the color the white color of the iphone & take their ass to the cleaners. Just to shut them the f* up for a couple of years.
