Apple patents technologies that they didn’t even invent or start… They’re just a bunch of manipulative assholes…. Funny how Google filed a patent for the notification bar that IOS now uses, but the FCC is taking their sweet ass time on that one. Do I even need to point out the irony?

but it is not technology , it is an idea and a rather obvious one that a program can search more then one place without having to change interfaces

Can you root after the update? Just had to get replacement from Asurion for Non-traumatic (read babied, cased, and never dropped) cracked screen.

Box and phone appear new–no Good As New label. But small label pasted on top of the screen has single word–”updated”.

I hope that this just refers to the small but significant update being pushed ota. Can phone be rooted still after update?

I usually open the browser to search, I already know where everything else is on my phone.

oh cool! So you just followed the same directions for getting root and getting a custom recovery? Which recovery did you install?

This update fixed the Wifi connectivity issues I was having with my S3 pre-order. Users with the ATT version who had the same issues mentioned their connectivity issues were fixed with this update as well.

> I wonder if Jobs is trying to sue God in a wrongful death case?

That’s pretty disgusting.

Apple legally patented that technology. Like it or not, they did. And they have every right to defend it.

How would like to hold a million dollar patent… and then sit by and watch others steal it. (Actually, you probably WOULD allow it.)

I definitely would not.

Apple forced to post public apology on website.

Apple Inc.
(NASDAQ:AAPL) has not been very successful with its previous
infringement claims either. The ruling of the California judge marks the
only favorable judgment for Apple. The company has previously lost
cases against Motorola Solutions Inc. (NYSE:MSI), an acquisiton of Google and HTC, which uses the Android OS in its smartphones.

Wow are you a paid Apple shill or just a typical iPhone user? Who has “knowingly” copied patents??? Software Engineering is about innovation and solving problems. Apple has been a proven whiner and liar when it comes to patent infringement. They have lost several times on their claims and with the latest loss were ordered to post a public apology to SamSung on their website.

Actually it’s Apple competing through law suits rather than through innovation. The idea that a company can patent functionality of a search simply because it’s searching the device rather than the Internet is ridiculous but Apple being threatened by competition will sue.
