Microsoft Products Banned in Germany

Oops. It wasn't supposed to happen like that. Any fool can see that Samsung and that evil, insidious Dr. Google, in a nefarious plot to take over the world, produced a clone of the iPhone because, lookie! it's rectangular, and thin, and all screen on one side, and fits easily in your hand, and has a touch screen, therefore Samsung and evillll Google are choking the life out of poor Apple, bankrupting them, and throttling their sales.
Problem is, judges aren't fools. Turns out, when you look a little deeper, Motorola and Samsung have done a little innovating of their own. Motorola has been a leading innovator in the technology world with real products, like cell phone towers and defense communications, not just 1's and 0's and prissy little phones and music players and expensive toys for overgrown boys.
Interesting ploy by Microsoft, and it's ally Apple: Motorola was overcharging for it's patents therefore Microsoft didn't have to pay for them. Now that is the pot calling the kettle black.
