Apple is suing HTC over intellectual property. That is to say Apple is suing HTC because Apple owns some patent on some concepts. I can’t really help but make the connection between Apple and SCO. SCO being the company that attempted to sue many companies because of infringement on their intellectual property. SCO was of course was occasionally being backed by Microsoft. Seeing as that Microsoft and Apple are also competitors, and that Microsoft just released its new touch phone, perhaps patent squatting and zeal won’t protect Apple this time. On the other hand, Steve Jobs could just die from his pancreatic cancer already, there by allowing the world to continue to progress in technology instead of barring the US from competition by using the United State’s horrific patent system to protect Apple’s market shares. That kind of reminds me of corn and Monsanto…
