I just gave my opinion and years of observation and discussion about the matter, I'm not gonna engage in a thorough argument (nor personal attacks) since this is not a tech review forum, so I'm not gonna take this one heavily and personally. I hate to break it to you, but it's true - there are people who "hate" on something/someone because it's the "trend", hence the term "bandwagon". Sadly, I've seen a lot of people from all different places and walks of life bashing things, especially Apple "just because". Since you're not one of them, my previous comment wasn't aimed for you. They're pitiful aren't they? You can see that if that's their primary reason.
And yes, the Apple legal team has been known through the years to be extremely aggressive. You think that it will narrow down the chance for innovation, but for me looking at a bigger long term picture, I can see that it will open up for more design brainstorming sessions and more new ways to enhance and stimulate that market because "hey seems like someone already did this, so why not do something more edgy and stuff", thus more chance to have technological breakthroughs. And it seems like you don't understand how patents work. Like any other property right, it may be sold, licensed, mortgaged, assigned or transferred, given away, or simply abandoned.
I'm sorry if my disagreement in your opinion defies my brain health, and perhaps, the brains of the courts that made the verdict and the countless others who are more in-depth in the tech industry who has a similar opinion as mine.
