What Apple’s victory over Samsung means for innovation
Good counterargument from John Gruber to the popular belief that Apple’s huge patent victory over Samsung will stifle innovation:
But I don’t think there’s anything in this verdict that would prevent Google, Nokia, Microsoft, Samsung, HTC, Sony, or RIM from creating a new phone that is way better than the iPhone. Better necessarily implies different. What this verdict should prevent is any of them making phones that are disturbingly similar to Apple’s.
