Actually, Hazama Corporation built the first one. Samsung copied them and built the 2nd tower.
He's not talking about the design, but the invention of digital MP3-players.
Really? the lines comment? Wow.
Well guess what. My best friend's cousin's brother's nephews great aunt once had pizza with the VP of Samsung marketing and he called the Director of Samsung in London a bit fat liar liar pants on fire.
Again - people need to use less tin foil hats. The truth is scarier to you than this fiction - which is - people can own and enjoy Apple products but also br critical of them. OH NOZ!
Creative didn't invest portable MP3 players either.
0 dollars.
Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, LG, ect. Don't care about sites like this, the impact a place like this has on a companies sales is pretty much nothing. The average consumer does not come here.
....
Wrong, they do actually, I was speaking to a manager of a multinational glazing company, and he said that it was common practice to make up names and slate the opposition on consumer sites, as I was complaining about one of his employees that had been slated, so it wouldn't surprise me. Granted this is not a consumer site but it is still a site worth trying to tap into for new customers, if you can steal a couple of loyal customers from one post then totally worth it.

So, you're saying that Samsung or Google pays people here to try to show Apple users as brainwashed zealots?

Interesting that they publicly say they won't negotiate at all.
This won't go down well with the judge.

I actually studied with a Director of Samsung in London who told me they pay people to go on to competitors websites and make negative comments, this would then draw an unhinged element to post comments favoring Sams**g on websites like this... a website for Mac, people are scared of Apple, because Apple has the best brand loyalty, hence the lines at a mac store hence they pay people to trash Apple. Scary stuff
An informed opinion can not be formed from those 2 pics cause they don't use the same scale on the vertical axis.
Actually this wouldn't surprise me. I dunno how often this happens on MacRumors but I've seen really strange behaviors and repetitive posts across all sorts of different websites.
Take GSMArena for example: If you dare support an Apple product there your posts get deleted almost immediately...
Also, almost always when a person cries out with the overused "troll" or "astroturfing" accusations, it's because they're run out of material to debate with. It says far more about them than it does anyone else.
Ditto for the use of "fanboy" or "sheep" as an epithet. Or is there perhaps a difference. Discrediting someone with a different view on something besides the arguments, may feel good, but no real victory is won.
Copy that."We have no such intention," J.K. Shin, the head of Samsung Electronics' mobile unit, told reporters on Wednesday when asked if Samsung would seek a similar settlement.
Its OK to say you are mad at a company for business practices. Doesn't make you an "astroturfer" for Samsung.
I don't know why after page 6 or 7 of a thread about these lawsuits, a few of us have to repeat this conversation after getting insulted and accused of shilling or astroturfing.

Wow your tirade was quite exhausting to read. Stop being so emotional about something that really has no beating in your life. If you allow what companies do as a business to get you so upset you will always be an angry person. It's ok to express your dislike for something. Just keep it in perspective that in the end, it doesn't really matter.
[T]here is not one single product - not one - that Samsung makes that is an industry leader. There is no Samsung product that is the BMW of cars. The Rolex of watches. The iPods of portable music devices. The Titleist of golf clubs. These aren't just expensive items because of name. It's called quality. Quality in their products (not their manufacturing processes) is a foreign concept to Samsung. Yes they have amazing quality in how they manufacturing NAND, DRAM, OLED panels. Yes Samsung makes a lot of things. But none of them are leaders of their respective industry.
Just because you make sell 1,000,000 of something every second doesn't mean what you sell isn't crap.

Samsung was the main contractor for the project.
They were working 24 hours a day building a floor per day.
Yes - you almighty "original Mac fans" are the real heroes. You aren't fooled by these petty useless devices we droves of mindless sheep use all day everyday for everything from reminding us its Grandma's birthday to running our small business through.
Yes, if only we could think for ourselves, we wouldn't be at the mercy of these "iToys" and Apple's devious marketing department.
Can you people grow up? This is beyond petty....
They were the contractor. That's about the same as stating the Foxconn developed, designed, marketed and sells the iPhone.
Creative held patents over a method of designing navigation UIs that were unheard of in the PMP world prior to the advent of MP3 (or digital file based) players. Apple infringed on it, got taken to court and tried to fight it but eventually lost.
Really guys, it's not different than Apple's slide to unlock, bounce on end of document, or other interface patents. No sillier, no smarter. In my own view, both the Apple stuff and Creative's stuff is bad and shows how much software patents need to die. There was nothing non-obvious to Creative's approach, just like there's nothing non-obvious to Apple's stuff.
But the fact is, if you're on Macrumors raging like a lunatic when Samsung infringes a utility patent of Apple's, you need to also be raging against Apple when it infringes the same type of patents. Otherwise, you're not being consistent, you're being biased. For a corporation. That doesn't care about you.
False analogy. Samsung designed and built it for the customer's need. The specification was developed with the customer. Designing and building skyscrapers is far more complex than building a mobile phone or tablet using components already available.
Lol
1. If they did copy how come Samsung finished Tower 2 first?
2. If they copied then why is it that it is not crooked as Tower 1?
Petronas towers.
