Apple kills Star Trek

From Youtube:
The Enterprise encounters a Romulan Warbird shortly after receiving a court order from Apple's lawyers.
Deanosays...

I've read a few takes on the trial that say this is all good news for Samsung. If you accept that they copied then it's just cost them $1bn to become second in the market. And they're appealing that in any case. Their *marketing* budget alone is $3bn.

Meanwhile Microsoft "innovated" with Windows Phone and they're nowhere. Look where Palm and Nokia are. Following in Apple's footsteps was the smartest move.

And yes, do a bleeding decent Picard voice!

$1B, and what could turn into a permanent injunction against sales of some of its top-of-the-line products. That's a killer. Won't know until December, though.

Well, it's mostly last-generation stuff. But I imagine they still sell Galaxy S2s.

It's not going to kill Samsung or fundamentally hurt them in any way. And they'll be appealing this for years. I'd understand if the Galaxy S3 was affected but it's not.
I know I'd prefer to be in Samsung's position rather than say RIM.

A single military style federation where all the uniforms have black turtle necks, and everyone has to wear the logo in brushed chrome on their chest?

I'm surprised the Enterprise doesn't have the apple logo on the front.
