That would do FAR more damage to Apple than any court case.

Yes! Yes!! That is what Google ought to do. crApple's reign of tyranny must be stopped.
Apple isn't suing Google -- they're targeting their only real competition, Samsung.
Whatever.

The device that really started everything for Apple was the iPod, a device design that Apple blatantly stole from Creative Labs and were found guilty of doing so.
The old adage was " Crime is not in committing it, it is in getting caught". The modern one, at least for the US should be " Crime is not in committing it, it is in not having the judges and politicians in your pocket."
