Apple seems to have gotten a taste of their own medicine via Motorola (of all sources) as a judge in Germany ruled that they used some of their technology without (prior) authorization…
All of this on-going (global) litigation seems to be a good lead-in for a reality TV program and/or a Soap Opera, “As Tech Turns” starring Apple as the patriarch; Google as the misunderstood upstart; Samsung who desperately claims originality and craves acceptance; Microsoft (the bumbling unoriginal family member whose blown numerous chances) Motorola and Nokia (having fallen on hard-times as hubris blinded their vision) as all three are now the misguided group within the greater community who yearn to (once again) become significant players; and, HTC the unknown outsider who nobody seems to have a definitive read on… ‘As Tech Turns’ Monday Night at 10:00 p.m. on your local cable or satellite channel, HTTV.
