Oh, Apple

Yet another lawsuit.

But in this one, Apple is the losing defendant, and it seems it's a case with grounds very similar to those Apple took Samsung to court over.

Apple has been ordered to pay $368 million for patent infringement in its use of Facetime, an application that allows for video calls on mobile devices, the plaintiff said Wednesday.

Security software firm VirnetX said in a statement the jury in a federal court in Texas ordered the payment “for infringing four VirnetX patents” and that the court will hear post-trial motions in the upcoming weeks.

  Raw Story

All these contentious and public lawsuits in such a short time can't be good for Apple's image. Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave. The minute he's gone, Apple goes all bankster.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
