Are you serious? Just read this goddamn thread. Just read posts by Divinox or Thenedral or Mattie Num... or the guy who just posted above you.

And why not, we should now argue about the degree of hate. I am so not gonna argue on this.

Please bitch all you want; I have much better things to do.

Who is forgetting that Google purchase Android? Who is arguing that Google was not going to release a phone until they saw the iPhone?

:rolleyes:

Yeah, it's a copy. Maybe even an improvement, depending on what Chevy decided to add to the process. Question is, why do people care who copied who? Bragging rights? Justification? Satisfaction?

Personally, I don't care who copied who. Android might've aped some of iOS. iOS might've turned around and aped back some from Android. Whatever. It's all a moot point to me. These big, impersonal, multibillion dollar companies can rip each other off til they're blue in the face. As long as I get a better product from all of it, I don't care.

Now the usual inevitable response to this is "shouldn't Apple be allowed to profit off their own hard work without someone stealing their IP". Uh, aren't they worth 40 billion these days? Don't they control a good 90% of the tablet market, despite all the quote unquote cheap ripoff tablet clones out there stealing their ideas? Are they not profiting enough for you as is?

So once again, why do some of you even care who rips of who?

I agree completely. I still enjoy the discussion. :)
 
Finally, there's some sensibility to the German court. Of course people can tell the difference between one brand and another, even if they are both rectangular and black. The obvious indication is the Samsung logo, right in the front. When people buy tablets, they don't ask if the tablets feel and run like Ipads, they ask themselves if the tablets feel and run good. Comparing the two is what tech bloggers do!
 
LOL @ rotten apple losing every single lawsuits that they are responsible for. And lol @ the apple drones who constantly bitches at Samsung and HTC. How dare you.

It's a very good day for tech world out there!!

:D:D:D

I don't have to be a 'Fan' to be here. I like OS X. I am NOT a fan of Apple.

See the difference?

Funny thing is how many of these people actually contribute to the site? I am very active in the Server and OSX forums offering advice and help while these people call me a fandroid and just come here to claim Apple discovered America in 1493.

They don't have to win them, just keep pushing them enough to a) make these crooks think twice, and b) slow them down. Costs Apple peanuts, both in terms of dollars and PR.

I know what you mean, I'm pretty active in the macbook pro forum and used to be *very* active in the mac pro forum (had my mac pro for almost 5 years before i switched to the laptop).

Macrumors members prefer to see things in black and white. Kind of like George Bush; youre either with us or against us.

:rolleyes:
 
Samsung: Hey, everybody! Check out my pig! Isn't she cute? :p

Apple: :eek: Hey! Your pig looks just like my pig! Not cool! :mad:

German court: These pigs do look similar (;)) so we'll have to side with Apple

Samsung: :(

Apple: Up yours, Samsung :D Oh, and don't forget I'll need more parts for Christmas shipping rush. :cool:

Samsung: :eek: Wait a minute, I have an idea! (breaks out lipstick and smears all over pig's snout) How's that?

German court: Hmmm... I suppose that will work :)

Samsung: :D

Apple: Whoa, she's kind of cute! Heeeeeeeey, piggy! How youuuuuuuuu doin' :eek:
