Damn, I think Apple needs a bit of “Anonymous” and “Lulzsec” treatment.
But Sony will feel left out!
Yet another

Even though I like apple’s products,Their attitude is just plain wrong.
Sometimes people judge me the same way,just because I own apple’s products. 
he he, hard to believe right?
Somebody should just call Jobs an** i-diot** in the press and he prolly will have his moment he been craving for offlate.
Apple os honestly behaving that they are above law of land.some on needs to sue them .
You see nokia also sued them and apple has agrred to pay few hundred millions dollars every year for using nokia’s patents.
Apple honestly needs to be brought at same level as others.
They are scared of android taking over their market lead and they are trying all things to counter android short of accusing goog.
you see they positioned Iphone as premier device but now with android heat,they are talking of and working on smaller version to counter android.
We as Indians should be given raw deals like launching parts at their eol stage like iphone 4.ipad1 and all so on.
We must not be made dumping grounds for apple to get rid of older inventory.
One of the main reasons of Apple being successful is that they are aggressive. They will keep fighting battles. They will win some and they will lose some. Just few days back Apple did win a court case against Multi-touch patent. That itself can bring huge implications for the rest of the market. And seriously there is nothing better as of now as the app store. Just a few days back they hit the 15 billion mark for the apps download. So its obvious that how much revenue they generate from their store. They would surely try to keep it that ways and not anybody a sniff of the same.
The problem here is, this time they are trying to trademark / claim IP on an abbreviation.
“App” has been used as abbreviation of Application for ages, since before iPhone came into existence or Apple even had started it resurgence .
There is a limit to what extent one should/can go to try to protect so call “your” IP. There is no way one can claim trademark / IP on an abbreviation regardless when and who came up with it as a brand.
As far as Apple Apps store as a platform, its currently at the top. The question is how long it will last there. Android went from 3billion download at the end of May 2011 to 5.2 billion just 1 week into July. In little over 1 month it grew more than 50%.
The last thing Apple should be doing is trying to fight the stupendous battles in court. Its their products (and the big daddy jobs) that have brought them into the current position after they were almost dead and buried in late 90s. I hope they dont forget that and loose focus.
That news was wrongly sensationalised by media,check out this link for detailed info:
Steve jobs always looking for some humor n fun 
LOL Apple are losing it. Once Android takes over, they’ll go back to their dark ages. Their attitude stinks, it’s a pity, because their products are top class.
We should actually stop caring about all this, the more we h00t about it, the more this Apple jumps on top of out heads. Enough!
iDon’tCare
I do remember getjar from my nokia 7250 days. It was a great source then for midp applications..
im sure they will soon start fighting over iPill Patent just cos it starts from i and comes in a white box
They will Even sue the local fruitshop for selling Apples,
we should boycott their End of life iphone models which they dump in India like a used tissue paper after ages its about to go EOL elsewhere and when they are about to launch next gen elsewhere, if iphone is the last mobile phone on the planet with no options at all i would still rely on land lines or maybe even Voip, but i wont pay a fortune for a phone which was dumped into my country like a used tissue paper thinking as if we were inferior than others , why do we even buy them ? Another fact 60% of the IOS development team comprises of us Indians
Remember the Tommy hilfiger statement which like made high tides just cos their CEO said something, this is a similar practical implementation by Apple, Dumping EOL technologies in our country thinking we are a dumping ground,
Since when can companies patent generic names like “App Store” ? I mean WTF ? What next ? Some company patents the “menu” feature on Operating Systems ?
no…the next patended term will be “desktop”…then “mobile”
Steal something from others, then sue them for using it?
Next for Apple:
Having a button below the screen in the middle,
The word ‘Apple’
The alphabet ‘i’ ?
