Breaking News: Apple to sue the descendants of Sir Isaac Newton because he infringed their trademark by using the apple to prove the Law of Gravity. Eve is next.
 
Haha...

Anyway, I hope this one is going to hurt them: The ‘Sleeping Giant’ May Have Awoken

I don't support this crap, but Apple deserves some of its own medicine!

Edit:

When Google announced their deal to buy Motorola Mobility in August of 2011, speculation arose as to their motivation to do so, with the blogosphere exploding with word that Google’s true motivation was to gain control of over 17,000 patents that Motorola controlled. Google CEO Larry Page stated in a shareholder conference call about the acquisition:

“The combination of the two companies is going to create tremendous shareholder value, drive great user experiences and accelerate innovation. Motorola also has a strong patent portfolio, which will help protect Android from anticompetitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies.”

With the finalized acquisition of Motorola by Google in May, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Google would stop letting its hardware partners be attacked by Apple and would take a stand. On Friday Google did just that, filing a patent-infringement lawsuit against Apple for the following seven patents: 5,883,580, 5,922,047, 6,425,002, 6,983,370, 6,493,673,7,007,064 and 7,383,983. The products they are seeking an import ban on are the Apple’s iPod Touch, the iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S, the iPad 2 and the “new” iPad, as well as the Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and all other Apple devices “which utilize wireless communication technologies to manage various messages and content.” Motorola also argues Apple was fully aware of the patents in question.

Apple and Motorola struck a patent licensing deal yesterday for some of the parents Apple infringes on. For Germany only.
Good start though.

Will dig out the source link just now when I do my nightly trawl through Pulse.
 
Apple did not invent the mobile phone (that honor goes to Motorola), but they sure are throwing their weight around like they did.

And some day it will bite you in the ass.
