>Apple sued Qualcomm today, alleging that the chip company charges billions in patent royalties "for technologies they have nothing to do with."
>Apple's lawsuit seeks unspecified damages while stating it has been "overcharged billions" by Qualcomm. The lawsuit notes that law enforcement agencies around the world are investigating Qualcomm, which "has been declared a monopolist by three separate governments" in the past two years. Last month, Korean regulators slapped Qualcomm with a $850 million fine over its patent-licensing practices. The US Federal Trade Commission sued Qualcomm earlier this week, again over patent issues.

If any monopoly should be stopped it's Microsoft. Can't wait for them to die.

them and apple will slowly become less and less relevant over time because jobs and gates aren't at the helm anymore, nobody to push out good ideas. maybe they'll somehow survive like IBM has with focusing on enterprise software/hardware but lol @ that with apple since they've effectively killed their professional market.

You've obviously never used a surface book

I wonder when people will wake up to the fact that patents keep the richest companies in the world from monopolizing every technology.

No one has, no one wants to.

Ironic

It looks like Qualcomm is fucked if there if proof of their alleged machinations and there will be.
Apple don't pick fights they can not win.

That comic is hate speech, and it's problematic that you have it saved on your hard drive.
You might wanna consider attending a local Racists Anonymous meeting.

Copyrights DO expire, you fucking moron.

Basically apple is complaining that they are in the wrong side of the overpricing gun.

Yes, I'm sure this time Disney will definitely let their copyright on Steamboat Willie run out instead of bribing every politician in Washington to extend its duration.
Totally.

I own a surface book and have no clue what you're talking about.
interfaces and taskbars getting stuck has nothing to do with the surface book and everything thing to do with Windows.
