News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Apple has been hostile to hackers for my entire lifetime. From suing makers of mac-compatible hardware, through refusing to license their iPod DRM to other sellers, and the unprecedented closedness of the iPhone walled garden, to the ludicrous design patent lawsuit against Samsung. They've always been the enemy of anyone who was paying attention, and this latest move is no worse than what they've done before. I'd like to believe the tech community will turn against them, but the history just doesn't support this.

"ludicrous design patent lawsuit against Samsung"

You mean the one Google's lawyers told Samsung infringed on Apple's design? Right, ludicrous.

Lawyers just tell you whether a law applies to you, not whether it's ludicrous.
