Samsung to Depose Jony Ive and Other Apple Designers, Seeks iPhone 4S Source Code

Just think of the R and D, the new products, the great tech we could have if these guys were spending all this money on lawyers and courts. What a waste.

Be thankful that at least one of the two still does a ****-ton of R&D - Samsung. According to last years numbers, over 1/4 (roughly 50000) are employed in R&D, with Samsung spending usd 8 bn (annually) on R&D. (Apple? approx. 20% of that. What a waste).

I see. Well I hope they won't go that dirty into this lawsuit.



David vs Goliath. And Goliath fell. Oh - oh trouble in Spain for Apple.

Do you know what Steve Jobs have said of this situation.... "they Stole from us...." and all the thing that make him swear....
The whole situation is so clear, they steal the concept.

Yup.

Especially coming from abandoned abandoner, right?

Jeez.. Steve Jobs is just another businessman. Whatever he says doesn't make it a fact or truth..

I admire what he had achieved, but not as a person.

Legally Samsung would not get the source code.
A third party appointed by the court would get it to do review of it.

Samsung have nothing to gain from this. This is just cultural "saving face" tactics from them.

I really feel sick when I see my Samsung products at my home. Was a huge supporter until they went insane.

Apple should spend loads of money on lobbying.
Withdraw all US forces from South Korea.

Let North Korea take over. They are more rational then Samsung.

Oh my. You actually think its the US of A who is doing SK a favour, and not the other way around?

Lion costs 29 USD and can be installed on every Mac you own, so if you have 2 machines that's 14.50 per machine. It can be installed on any Mac with a newer processor than Core Duo, which means the last 4 to 5 years of Macs. Windows 7 is at least 89 USD PER machine for an OEM license - and if you change the motherboard because of malfunction or upgrade, go get a new license.

To sum up; iCloud is entirely free and replaced the arguably inferior MobileMe which was 99USD/year, Lion is silly cheap and can be installed an unlimited number of times on all your different Macs. Windows is at least 89 USD per machine and has no equivalent to iCloud. I fail to see the greediness of Apple here.

How much money does MSFT make when you buy a new computer? (excl. licenses?) How much money does Apple make when you buy a new (Apple) computer (excl. 29usd for lion).

Apples and... something very different. Also, i've never heard of anyone buying a new license after switching a motherboard, or anything else. But thats just me.
 
I don't think apple should give away the chemical composition of unicorn tears. It's just too magical for anyone else to understand.

I thought that was an Apple invention in 2 years when it makes it way into a iToy. Samsung had nothing to do with the research, development and production of it. Just like they didn't do any work into all the components that they supply to Apple.

I think the headline needs to be written correctly. I don't think Samsung are going to start a military coup of Apple. That's a little extreme even for them.

Extremely narrowly, world-class displays and nand's. As for the other 99% of their greatness, you'll have to do your own research.

Their great Phone also ...their retail box, their USB charger ! All nice !!
For sure they do amazing electronic component and invariably some will end up in my stuff...
But by choice , i will not buy Samsung branded stuff for sure

You must be joking. Samsung TV's are awful! They are made out of cheap materials, their stands wobble like crazy and their contrast ratio pales in comparison to a good Philips or Panasonic.

Cheap products for the cheap, not so cheap products for the not so cheap. For example, Samsung has for long used metal and glass in their products. Where else could i have seen that... hmmmmmmm.....

Ah, because Jobs said so then it is THE TRUE.
 
You all can take Apple's side since we're all fanboys, but in reality, you have to appeal to both sides.

The timeline tell the story...
 
Check the history ......

the history repeats itself with the MacBook Air Clone .... "the Ultrabook"!

they copy everything...
Unibody construction, keyboard, trackpad....
I feel ashamed for them and why I'm having to point out those things? ...it's sooooo evident.

and for saving a couple hundreds bucks , poeples grab those copy and smile thinking they made a smart move...

Check the all-in-one copy crap available ( trying to emulate the iMac)
Make your one stuff , your own idea and let the market decide (instead of judge in a courtroom)

That's not copying, Ultrabook is a new market of laptops, All-in-Ones are a new market of computers. Just because another company makes those two, doesn't mean they're copying, they're just competing.

really, you must not have looked at some of the crap asus, sony and others are putting out as all in one pc's. As for ultrabook, same thing, very lame copies of MB airs. They will continue to copy and will never compete with the Apple stuff.
