But it takes a lot to innovate a round edged rectangle that does everything the iPad / iPhone does.

I know you're focusing on the hardware design, but you've gotta admit that the UIs changed. A lot.
Evidently, from the actual reactions of the court, this "manipulation" wasn't quite as nefarious as the forum lawyers made it out to be.
Your "reality" picture supports Apple's case much more than Samsung's!

oh common anyone with a brain stem can say you love to watch Apple fall just by reading all of your posts on the matter in this thread and others. I am in no mood to sift through your posts to prove it. Besides it would take a whole night going through the list to choose the best one.
Im not denying it, my misgivings about that case were some of the things that Apple was trying to claim they had copied, such as a rectangle tablet with curved corners. They blatantly were not the first to market with that, and yet they have the nerve to claim Sumsung copied the iPads physical design.
Still doesn't change the fact the evidence presented by Apple had clearly been altered to better fit their case.

Height and width had nothing to do with Apple's claims.

Here is fact you may not know.
Apple lawyers bring Apple down path to sue many so they have business and can charge premium because shortage of such lawyers. Jobs asleep at wheel, also lawyers used Jobs personality against him.
Sad thing, Apple may now waste many resource fighting pointless battle. Is distraction and bad for consumer.

EVERYONE was warned. Apple warned everyone, no question. First by Jobs - loud and clear:

And then later, numerous times, it was also made clear by Tim Cook, well before any tablet competitors arrived on the scene, and before the bulk of the iPhone competitors arrived on the scene.

. . . we will not stand for companies infringing on our IP.

Mr. Cook also said that Apple would continue to defend its IP.

Right, there's no way a discussion or explanation was intended to go along with the argument - it's simply cut and dry measurements.
re: LTD's cutting and pasting of articles about bribery
Call me a cynic - but what some lobbyists do on behalf of corporations isn't any more noble.
And if LTD wants to start playing the legal card - then perhaps he should be reminded that it goes both ways.
And that just because Samsung (or any company) allegedly violates "x" law doesn't mean they aren't entitled to be protected under "y." Two wrongs don't make a right.
And finally (for now) - I love how LTD is fast to condemn any non-Apple company and immediately assume guilt but when Apple is targeted - it's always "allegedly"
But we all know LTD is just a weeeeeeeee bit biased, don't we?

It was never acknowledged. It was just an allegation. Not substantive enough to be considered.
No, I was talking about the apparently manipulated image of the Tab that depicted a more iPad-esque aspect ratio used in the interjection.
As I tought, you don't have any proof, you only think that any one that doesn't praise ALL that Apple does is because he hates Apple.
Ps, a little secret, you can love a company and their products and not necessary agree with all they do and not hate any competitor.
I'm only focusing on the hardware, because thats the part of the Apple-Samsung case that I don't agree with.
The UI argument I side with Apple on.
no way. Apple has so much money (resources) and a whole legal team dedicated to dealing with this stuff. This won't have an effect on their design team at all.

are you referring to the use of square shaped icons on a touch screen that, when activated, opens the associated program/application? becuase if you are
was not the first to do that either.
