Over the weekend I wrote an article titled “What If Steve Jobs Is Right?” As the title implies, the post was a hypothetical look at the possibility that Steve Jobs’ assertion that Android is a “stolen product” is true.

Many of the comments I have received on the article itself, as well as on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ seem to be based on emotion and the personal opinion the commenter holds of Apple and Steve Jobs. Those things have nothing to do, though, with patent law or the realities of whether or not Android infringes on Apple patents.
