Apparently, Google Android and HTC are starting to do real damage to Apple's dominance of smart phone sales...

Well, if they did infringe on patents, they are gonna owe apple a lot.

Either way, I just dont give a shit. They are all fucking billionaires.

Maybe they are, but it isn't necessary for the lawsuit Apple filed. HTC and Google could have sold one phone and they would still be subject to the same suit.

most of them were acquired without much research by the patent office, I am very suspect of what went on there. Especially the multi touch/pinch zoom thing. There are older devices that had the same thing before Apple. They should be overturned and should have never been allowed to be patented in the first place.

Hell, it's been in SciFi for decades, both in movies and literature.
