I know Samsung will continue to do well, but I have decided to not buy anything (directly) Samsung anymore. It's like they're going out of their way to flagrantly copy now, post and pending lawsuits.
I wonder what they are trying to accomplish, Samsung is not a stand alone brand like Apple is, but it will be interesting to see. It used to be on certain BB stores carried Apple products, but now they all seem to be, and Apple has Staples and some other stores doing the same. I guess it is an all out war of products and the ones with the most of the concentration will win?
Similar things here and there, sure.
Photocopying every bloodying thing your competitor does?
C'mon.
Oh, a you're going to stop buying Apple products? Because they're made by Samsung so.....
Why is this on the front page? This has nothing to do with Apple... except upset people for whatever reason.
Do you seriously use those apps on your phone? I mean Garageband, iMovie, iWork? You actually use those on your 4in iPhone? They're bad enough on an iPad but an iPhone? Lets get serious here. iCloud is a mess and the combination Google Books/Kindle/Barnes and Noble apps are way better than iBooks and iTunes U. iTunes is pretty bad too but I realize many people use it. Spotify and Google Music have full iTunes integration and many other features. And Cerberus is way better than Find my iPhone
I realize that there is a better selection of games on iOS but I, like a lot of people, could honestly care less. The only thing that I miss is iMessage.
Suddenly your iPhone isn't so magical when you realize some of the alternatives...

One thing that is consistent with Apple......they like to imply everyone copies them
First it was "redmond start your copiers"
to now having all the apple fans think that the evolution of tech is soley apple and every other company must stay behind 10 years design wise else they are copying apple....when they aren't
It is always an amusing observation

I guess the word DIRECTLY was missed or misunderstood by you. DIRECTLY. I will not buy Samsung stuff. I realize Samsung makes CPUs, but I wouldn't be buying them anyway. Don't be such an Adria.
Did you read the same article I did? This is BEST BUY's idea, not Samsung's.
And this, may blow your mind...but there were Dell, HP, and Windows store-within-a-store concepts at Best Buys LONG before Apple's was there.
You are buying Samsung stuff. Samsung chips, screens, etc. are used by Apple. Buying Apple devices means you are supporting Samsung since they get money from Apple. What's so hard to understand about that? No matter what, you are buying from Samsung and supporting them, directly or indirectly.
Ok I can't resist.
Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.

For goodness sake, all you Samedung fanboys, stop arguing with Apple fanboys. This is an Apple oriented site, so idolatry is quite high here. Maybe you should make your own website. Maybe copy Macrumor. You can call it Samerumor. You can throw all the ***** at Apple anytime you want to. No apple fans will bother you, OK?
The worst thing about news stories like this?
The idiots on both sides of the fence crying about "their" brand as if they actually have anything to do with it other than the fact they fork over cash and use the product. Some of you are stupid to the point it hurts. They are COMPANIES who make products you use, not your grandmother or a family pet. Who cares if one copies the other, I sure don't, because it isn't my business.
If this forces companies to make better products, WE ALL WIN. I really hate this generation, people so focused on things rather than what matters.
Grow up.

Seems to me this article is about Samsung in Best Buy. Most of the articles on MacRumors are about competing products. This may be due to the lack of any real Apple News or the same iWatch, iTV rumors that have run their course.
Spec bumps and iOS app bumps don't equate to Clicks for MacRumors.
Take a deep breath, count to ten, and recenter. This is the internet. People say stupid stuff on the internet. I do, you do, we all do. It's really not worth getting all that worked up over.
