Comments on: Apple’s Patent Case Against Samsung (Android) May be Destroyed http://techrights.org/2012/11/18/settlement-and-samsung/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.14 By: Michael http://techrights.org/2012/11/18/settlement-and-samsung/comment-page-1/#comment-133796 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:44:16 +0000 http://techrights.org/?p=64477#comment-133796 What on Earth makes you think that Apple is not innovative? Perhaps you can think of a company that has innovated more… keeping in mind that Apple has completely changed many industries: desktop computing, tablet computing, smart phones, the music industry, and perhaps more. They have also earned the highest user satisfaction ratings in each of those industries for years.

By all means, do point to the more innovative company.

The more attention the Samsung case gets, the greater the population that realizes that Apple only repackages, remarkets, and puts that cult symbol with a bite missing on the cover.

Where do you think they are not competing well?

With that said, I think they need to look hard at their long term strategy or risk a repeat of the Mac OS / Windows situation where they had the better product but let Windows almost kill them… and then they reacted by stagnating for years. Hopefully the executive shakeup will show fruit and Apple will learn from the past.
