I just don't see what you see, sorry. I see 2 products that share the same form factor. They look as much alike as my old MacBook looks like my work provided HP Elitebook.

You see no similarity in these two cables:

I don't see anything wrong w/ jabbing at a company. They did it all the time against MS.

Infiniti jabs at BMW. Lexus jabs at the Europeans. Michigan jabs OSU.

Makes things interesting and keeps the 'buzz' going. :D
 
That isn't my point.

Samsung and Apple Power Adapters:

If you put all three on a line you'll see the following:

BBone is very round.
Samsung one is not so round.
Apple one, in the middle.

Fail to see your point here, really.

Regardless, all are of piss poor design. But, i guess its just conformity with de facto standards...

Hmm.... maybe I should try a different market... these two cars are totally different, right? I mean, I guess toyota should shut up and innovate???

Some people have strong opinions with an unfortunate combination with a very selective memory.

And some people seem to suffer from selective post reading as well :rolleyes:

* HUMAN BEINGS DON'T CRASH AND STOP TALKING SUDDENLY WHILE THEY REBOOT.

Yes, some of them do.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petit_mal

The clinical manifestations of absence seizures vary significantly among patients.[2][3][4] Impairment of consciousness is the essential ictal element and may be the only clinical symptom, but this is often combined with other manifestations.

The hallmark of the absence seizures is abrupt and sudden onset impairment of consciousness, interruption of ongoing activities, a blank stare, possibly a brief upward rotation of the eyes. If the patient is speaking, speech is slowed or interrupted, if walking, he or she stands transfixed; if eating, the food will stop on his way to the mouth. Usually the patient will be unresponsive when spoken to.
 
Speaking as a long time Apple user / enthusiast / shareholder & technologist, there's no substitue for a full understanding of what's happening with the competitors. It's Apples blind followers that are the ones to be caught out. What goes up must come down.

Should Apple decide to invest all of their resources & expertise on innovation and moving forward, they will enjoy even greater success.

Conversely, if they insist on driving while looking in the rearview mirror with a jaundiced eye, the only one they're hurting is themselves.

I know, I know, the truth hurts...

Comments like these remind me of what it is like watching a really bad stand up comedian.
 
Easy :

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-claims-top-spot-in-global-smartphone-shipments-for-q3-20/

Samsung is quickly becoming the best Android handset OEM, while also being a WP7 OEM and having their own OS : Bada. They are also 2nd only to Nokia in overall phone sales (eclipsing Apple by a wide margin there) :

That is why Apple is really focused on Samsung, because they came from behind and pushed ahead of Apple and with their Android crown, they are the best target to pursue Android indirectly since Apple have nothing on Google.

BZZZT.... Wrong!

Phones shipped do not represent phones sold.

Digging into that a bit, we're told that Samsung has overtaken Apple from a units-shipped standpoint
 
Come on already!! Pull the 38,000 troops out of the DMZ. Push for reunification!! Then forget about Samsung's Bulls***. :apple:
Come one already. China just buy out USA! Then forget about all these apple's bull***s and ifail drone 'tards, and especially warmongering americans.

All obey our new chinese overlords!
 
BZZZT.... Wrong!

Phones shipped do not represent phones sold.

And quarter after quarter of increasing shipments indicates that vendors are stockpiling more and more Samsung phones right ? :rolleyes:

I wouldn't worry too much about Samsung phone sales. We're not talking about tablets here.

Keep living with your head in the sand.

Denial + apple drones = recipe for disaster

:eek:
 
did you just compare a car to a power plug?

Yes he did. Next he will compare Mcdonalds Big Mac and Burger king's Whopper to make his fanboy point.

Desperate apple drone's measure = comical

Yeah, they should. Because frankly, look, Toyota is ripping off the Chevrolet Cavalier! :eek:

Oh wait no, rebadging existing models under license is common in the car industry. Silly me, there I thought you knew what you were talking about. :rolleyes:

Its part of the great conspiracy. Instead of being shipped to retailers, they're being shipped to please Xenu. Ask Tom Cruise, he knows all about it.

He'd have a much better point if he'd compare the Big Mac with the King Supreme. The whopper is nothing like a bigmac, though it could be argued that the King Supreme is "highly influenced" by McDonald's garbage. Of course, both are crap that shouldn't be eaten, but that's another discussion alltogether.
 
Threads like these always bring out the best in people. :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! CEPT FOR SAMSUNG CUZ THEY MAKE CHEAP CLONE KNOCKOFF STUFF THAT IS WEIRDLY EXACTLY THE SAME PRICE AND USE EQUIVALENT OR BETTER HARDWARE BUT ITS STILL A CHEAP CLONE KNOCKOFF CUZ I LOVE APPLE INC!

...you know, I've noticed that I can't let a single post pass by without having at least once sentence typed in all caps. I guess caps lock really is cruise control for cool.
 
lol. I believed the internet and look where it got me!

I apologize, I was looking for this one:

What does a Chinese KIRF copy have to do with Samsung exactly ? You're all over the map and only proving you have no real clue.

Anyway, all this talk of copying, while completely boring and rehashed on its own, is completely irrelevant in the context of this thread. This is about Australia, an ad for the Tab and the injunction that was overturned which never was granted based on design, copying or any of that junk. The Australian case was about 2 patents, one for a UI gesture and one for a manufacturing process for screen technology.

The more you know.
