I have a Galaxy Nexus. It's a pretty good phone.
Apple doesn't want it sold in the US. So now, there's an injunction on it and you can't legally purchase it here right now.
Patent wars are fricking stupid, but aside from feigned indignation at all this (and curiosity at how Google would react) I didn't really care.
But now, in order to be able to sell the Galaxy Nexus again, Google is sending out an emergency OTA patch.
This patch removes functionality Apple claims to have patented.Even though I wanted to ignore what Apple was doing, even though I already bought my device months ago and have been a happy camper, Apple is actively reaching out and crippling my phone and there's nothing I can do about it.
Fuck you Apple. "Hate the game, not the player." That's bullshit. Apple's choosing to impose the injunction, to tie up the courts with glorified patent trolling.
Hey you know what Google's doing with the mountain of patents they got from Motorola? Not fucking suing the dicks off their competitors because they're a competitive threat.
What a slimey, underhanded, spineless shell of a fucking worthless company. Fuck you Apple.
