The judge and jury were both very poor at their jobs, but Apple gets at least half the blame. Just because the system is broken doesn't mean it's meant to be abused. They started this 'patent war', and I hope in the end, someone else finished it. I'm hoping for a 'SeaWare/PkArc' sort of conclusion to it, but consumers of their products are far less informed that they were at the time of PkArc.
