What is sad is that even the two capacitive buttons are there so that the galaxy phones look like they have one central button like the iPhone. I briefly owned the s3 and the capacitive buttons are a nightmare, you can't even hold the phone in landscape without accidentally touching a button.
I'm fine with widespread patent infringement between large corporations. It's how progress is made and only leads to more innovation in order to get ahead. If it wasn't for Android, we'd still be without MMS (a "dying" technology, remember that argument 5 years ago?) or copy/paste. In the end, the consumer is the one who benefits.
That's the point, Samsung doesn't innovate, the might improve a few little thing in others product, for their business model they steal.
Since it caused you to come here and post it can't be the worse bait article now can it be?
And yet Samsung has found a third way "Steal, then force the innovator into closing"
I feel Samsung is doing a "take your own remedy" strategy. It's what every emergent country should do for erradicating slave work and reduce inequalities. Samsung is an anti-imperialist force for the south-koreans.
While developed countries can buy inexpensive commodities and use foreign labour paying low salaries, it's all ok. When they see a company capable of replicating and even improving some technology, then it's a moral disaster.

Aaah the comparison photo where they felt the need to manipulate the dimensions of the phone to make it look closer to the iPhone. Just like they did with the S2 and galaxy tab
The size means nothing. If I make a huge rolex replica, its still a rolex replica even when the dimmensions are not similar.
You obviously don't know the difference between "inspiration" and "copying".
Most artists are inspired.
Very few straight-up copy.
Please don't equate the inspiration that is a normal course for any creative artists or company, like the ones you mention, with outright copying, like what Samsung does.
Learn the actual details about intellectual property.
Um, wasn't mms added in iOS 3 in 2009? Which means it was being worked on in 2008 way before android was a threat? Patent infringement is anti innovative, why create a new technology if someone else is going to rip it off? Why bother making a new technology if I can just copy it?

Why would you have liked Samsung as a company? They're a terrible company.
Nothing they do is ever innovative like Apple.
have they ever invented anything original?
They are purely known for making cheaper version of some other invention.
They are NOT known for coming up with new ideas.
Finally Samsung has steal from the wrong company. Apple is bring their crooked business model to the spot light.
Yep then right after order millions of Samsung components to make their products....
Samsung has been found guilty of willful infringement just on one patent, the one that has been found invalid in ALL the other courts where Apple has used it to sue other companies.
I can imagine how most of their meetings go...
"I don't like you".
"Well, I don't like you, either".
"Here's some money".
"K".
Yes. MacDailyNews. Appleinsider might be extremely biased, but they do have one thing going for them: they're not insane. MacDailyNews is.
