    I've never seen something like this happen in my life, I didn't even know it was possible.

    Which patent? The patent for searching? Did they also violate the patent on making a rectangular phone with glass on the front? I just don't get it.

    Yep, that's the one they got Samsung (and Google, in a way) on.

    How can you patent searching within your device? Does that mean they could also sue Microsoft for the Search bar in the Start Menu?

    I believe it was pertaining to that of the mobile type, but I'm not an expert in law.

    I still just don't see how it's fair to put a patent on something that vague.

    All because the phone can search local data.

    And people really expect me to support a set of asshats like that? No thanks.
