Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak revealed to Bloomberg that he's upset with Apple's patent war against Samsung. Late last month in a California court, the South Korean electronics giant was ordered to pay $1 billion in compensation to Apple, but Wozniak doesn't agree with it, and thinks it will be overruled. Ultimatemy, Wozniak just wishes everyone could get along, and innovate rather than lawyer up.
“I hate it,” Wozniak told Bloomberg in Shanghai today, referring to the patent battle. “I don’t think the decision of California will hold. And I don’t agree with it — very small things I don’t really call that innovative. I wish everybody would just agree to exchange all the patents and everybody can build the best forms they want to use everybody’s technologies.”
