Motorola Ordered To Recall Android Phones and Tablets In Germany

puddingebola sends word of a German court decision yesterday which found that Google's Motorola Mobility must recall all of its Android tablets and phones that infringe on Apple's patent for "rubber-band" scrolling. From the Guardian: "The dramatic decision, the latest in an escalating war between Apple and the smartphone and set-top box company MMI, follows earlier cases in which Apple had to disable automatic "push" delivery of email to its iPhone and iPads after MMI won a separate patent fight in Germany. The recall will not take effect immediately because Apple will have to request a ban on specific products and provide a €25m (£20m) bond, while MMI can appeal. However, the court indicated that it was unlikely that an appeal against the validity of the patent would succeed. MMI, with Google's backing, is expected to continue the appeal. The court also ruled that MMI owed Apple damages for past infringement."

Too much

Geeze, first I thought I had to buy Samsung products to support them in their fight against Apple, now I have to buy MMI products too? I'm going to go broke trying to support companies that anger Apple. Maybe it's cheaper and easier to just go to the dark side and buy an iPhone and move into the Apple Ecosystem.

That is the beauty of it, friend AC. The Apple has transcended the need for good will. They are The Apple. They have become the Alpha and the Omega. There is no longer any dark before time, or any scary after time. There is only The Apple. All what remains is the extermination of all heretical followers of the Green Beast, and then the Rounded-Corner Age of iGlory may begin.

Give yourself to The Apple. The Apple is your friend and mine.
