Tech: Apple sues Nexus One maker HTC: Get yo popcorn ready!

  • Oh boy, this could get ugly. HTC, which produces a number of Google Android phones (including the Nexus One) was sued by the iPhone maker for violating 20 Apple patents. “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it,” noted Steve Jobs. “We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.” Holy crap. Did you hear that SLAAAAAAAPPPPP? source

Tech: Steve Jobs reportedly has a Jobsian fit against Google and Adobe

  • Word on the street is that Steve Jobs had a pretty epic unloading session on both Google and Adobe late last week at Apple headquarters in the wake of the iPad launch, noting how 1.) Google got into the phone business even though Apple didn’t get into the search business, 2.) Google’s “Don’t be Evil” motto is “bull*%*^” or “a load of crap” depending on who you ask, and 3.) Apple doesn’t support Flash on its iPhone and iPad because it’s so buggy, and the company makes no effort to do anything with the technology Apple makes. source

Offbeat, Tech: The Onion: Apple invents a iPhone visible only to the loyal

  • Not only is this our lightest and slimmest model ever, but as any truly savvy Apple customer can clearly see, it’s also the most handsome product we’ve ever designed.
  • Apple CEO Steve Jobs • In an Onion parody, talking about the company’s new iPhone 3GI, which is invisible to everyone except Apple’s most loyal customers. This article came out right around the time of the invention of transparent aluminum, so you laugh now, but just wait a few years until it’s real! • source

Tech: Fake Steve Jobs trashes all over the emergence of a Google OS

  • Somehow if you put out a new operating system you’ll get more people using the Internet and then you’ll be able to sell more of those $#%@*^ little ads?
  • Fake Steve Jobs (a.k.a. Daniel Lyons) • Discussing why Google’s new operating system is going to fail. Our favorite part? When he trashes on the tiny size of the netbook market. “Frankly, if the entire netbook market caught fire,” he says, “I wouldn’t piss on it to put it out. But that’s just me.” Oh Fake Steve. *fawn* • source
