You know I have to say, with how Apple has been pushing Steve Jobs term of going thermonuclear on Android... and Google doing nothing about it until now......

Though I hate patent wars......... With how sue happy they are, I'd love to see Apple blasted to literal hell on this one!

Well at least this has the potential to be fair and not politically motivated, as Google and Motorola are both American companies...

Apple = banned.

Nothing of value would be lost.

I disagree with the Apple sue everyone. I disagree with the Google action as well.

They all need to stop this rubbish and get on with providing good technology by putting the litigation budget into R&D.

If Apple, Samsung, Google,HTC are banned there is a big loss to the consumer.

Thing is unless Apple are slapped down hard like this.... they're going to keep doing it, and doing it, until they're the only ones allowed to sell hardware.

Hmm, I agree with both of you. But for me, it's not going to get better if Google just sit around and hope for the best. They are going to have to do something, and I guess this is a start.

Such a load of silliness though isn't it?

Tit for tat will keep on going and going and going.......

All these companies need to be declared vexatious litigants and this child like behaviour stopped.

I don't like it either, nor does anyone else with common sense (read everyone except Apple's iSheep and lawyers). However, I believe this is a necessary evil on behalf of Google in order to teach Tim Cook and Apple a lesson.

It's the same concept in real life: a bully will only stop bullying once someone fights back, wins and causes humiliation. If Apple loses to Motorola and Google, they'll eventually stop suing others.

I just hope that Google encourages a rethinking in the patent system, because this is getting ridiculous.

I don't blame Apple, Google, or any of these corps. Blame the game, not the players.

If the patent office didn't award patents for unoriginal or vague things, there wouldn't be a problem. If the courts didn't uphold ridiculous patents, there wouldn't be a problem.

The problem in reality is the patent system, as always if something is abusable someone will abuse it.... as shown by all the patent trolls (apple included in this)...

What really needs to happen is the patent system killed or at least reformed... as it stands.... its a broken mess....

But barring patent reform.... Google did need to get involved on this... Apples been going after Android vendors one after another
