Funny thing is the iPhone has more Samsung components in it than most of you think.

Which is perhaps the reason why Apple is suing Samsung and not any other Android Manufacture. Not all 15+ Samsung Android devices look like an iPhone. And other Android manufactures have iPhone look alikes.

Maybe the real reason is a better deal for the iPhone displays. Or perhaps a preferred deal for next gen retina style AMOLED displays.

Year of the copy cats. Means year Apple copies everyone else.

They all copy from each other. But only Apple is making a fuss about it. Which reminds me: The new Samsung home screen looks more like Windows Phone 7 then iPhone.

Oh wait... that was the Apple Lisa.

Sure, good photos and screen shots from the Xerox Alto are hard to come by. And no, Apple did not invent the grid of icons.

Most Apple fans believe that Apple invented USB. Facts and prior art won't change their minds.

Who are those 'fans'?

I think its totally illogical to defame a particular group of people based on some assumptions by a very small number of people.
On another note, those kind of people fall for one or the other company and not just Apple.

Hint : Xerox Alto is the hardware, Xerox Star is the system. Would you look at that nice little grid of icons on the right!
 
I feel kind of left out of the childishness oozing out of this forum so here goes:

I can't wait to see whether the court is an Apple fanboy or a Samsung/Android fanboy.
 
forgot to turn on your sarcasm detector, I see

I'm amazed that some people fail to recognize that a statement that's so completely over-the-top and demonstrably false is sarcasm.

It shouldn't be necessary to wrap everything in a tag to tell people how to interpret it....

(Although, of course, some Apple fans do claim that Apple invented USB.)

Fine.

But what's the point of highlighting this statement?

My comment implied that those kind of people who think that Apple invented USB or the computer or god knows what exist everywhere and have similar opinions for different companies.

Saying something that Apple fans do it implies that Apple fans are the only ones who do it. It absolutely doesn't make sense.
