Stupid jury kills innovation/competition and hands Apple a monopoly

WTF are you people talking about?

Do some research and look at the phones which were sued and patents that Apple sued them with. Looking at the phones in question, Samsung "willingly" copied the Iphone and its features.

People that know me know that I don't like Apple but I hate seeing lack of common sense.

The pictured devices are different in many ways. Similar yes, copy no. You can't patent look and feel. At least that used to be the case. Now there's a precedent that gives companies the ability to crush their competition by showing a picture like what you posted.
