Nokia to break up with Samsung as supplier, too, as 'the firewall is as sturdy as a pile of kimchi'

dude not amoled the flexible oled screen.....read complete story first

Not AMOLEDs, specifically, but I know some Nokia ClearBlack screens were manufactured by Samsung

Im not so sure about that
But even if those are true story, it just sounds like those two japanese companies are losers.

Let me give you guys an example.

If im basketball player and Michael Jordan is my roll model so i follow his every moves and try to learn every his skills
Someday i can play better than him.
This is what we all do or should do to become better us.

But it seems people(or maybe true haters) just like to call them
"A STEALER"

Cmon...if its like that we all have same thing same brand and no more innovation by now
Open your eyes and mind..

Dont get me wrong im not directly talking to you

lol your basketball example made me laugh dude that's a game and tricks are open you can see them perform and they don't sign a patent that this stun or moves are property of this player only. But in business contracts are stick and one violates other have no option to withdraw soon as possible or fight in court which is apples way don't know Nokia goes that way or not.

Nokia will certainly not want Samsung to copy their pureview a research of 5 years in a 3 months

58. MrJerry posted on 15 Feb 2013, 09:00 1 0

It is just an example nothing more.

Yes like you said business is business..it is strict and a real world.
So samsung is doing better business than the others except for apple since they are selling and making far more money than them.

So simple :)

A lot of hate from Sammy fans geez. Nokia is merely protecting its assets. What's wrong with that? But perhaps unconsciously these Samsung fans can't wait to be really on top of everything (top up the Pureview, lagless WP, secure Blackberry).. I know they want too.

47. haseebzahid posted on 15 Feb 2013, 08:26 6 5

simply Samsung and their fans are same mental level they support every legal or illegal moves if this story is true.

16. CardiWPfan posted on 15 Feb 2013, 06:59 2 3

You know exactly what Nokia is trying to convey!!! Its not so much as what is showing up now, but what will be showing up soon!!! Its all a players game and its all technological brinkmanship that is on the way!!

19. CardiWPfan posted on 15 Feb 2013, 07:01 5 3

You don't seriously believe that do you?????? You have got to be kidding me here!!

27. jsdechavez posted on 15 Feb 2013, 07:20 4 3

I think this report is implying that Samsung as a parts manufacturer is taking advantage of the tech outsourced to its plants for production. It's not about the nationalities of the workers.

57. gravityron posted on 15 Feb 2013, 08:58 2 4

I agree. For almost 10 months now, I have been noticing an uptick in the amount of racially/ethnically "insensitive" news stories concerning Asians. The situation in Australia with Koreans being targeted with assault. The Hollister clothing models in Korea (and elsewhere) with the "chinky" eyes. Now, this "pile of kimchi." Kimchi is not "piled." Kimchi is stacked in storage containers. Animal feces is in piles. So ... jsdechavez, I would have left this story alone and I would have reluctantly conceded that "It's not about the nationalities of the workers." I would have considered it "borderline" - but the kimchi reference is, without question, offensive.

77. a_merryman posted on 15 Feb 2013, 10:09 2 1

Seriously, settle down, this isn't a racial issue. It is one company reportedly stealing and passing secrets from another. The situation in Australia with Asian immigrants is lamentable, but large influxes of immigrants are typically looked at poorly in the countries they migrate too when they reach a certain population size (Take for example Latin people in the U.S., Muslims in Europe, or even people of other Asian descent in Japan.)
You really shouldn't be comparing those things to come to the conclusion that the world at large is against Asians or something crazy like that.

As for the last part, clearly the "insider" was trying to make a joke, which came off in poor taste and not funny. He was comparing that instead of there being a sturdy wall between the supplying portion of Samsungs business and their handset business there is actually very weak and not much of a wall at all. He used kimchi because Koreans are known for their kimchi, probably the most after their technology. (Shortly before delicious sam-gyup-sal..mmmm korean bbq.) And it's true, koreans love their kimchi, they give it to you as an appetizer at every korean restaurant you go to, and I eat it whenever I'm over at my gf's house because she also always has some. It wasn't racist, it was just a poorly thought up joke.

This is about one company purportedly stealing secrets from another and nothing else, try to not make it about anything else. Hopefully we'll find out more info if Samsung is actually guilty of what this insider says or not.

"clearly the "insider" was trying to make a joke, which came off in poor taste and not funny" - the standard defense of a racist.

And bringing unrelated issues into the topic is in no way trying to justify your own misguided viewpoint? I mean, you literally scoured the entire earth to find incidents to back up your viewpoint that the world is against Asians (andseemingly Koreans, specifically, in your viewpoint). And I'm not defending him, I'm saying he made stupid remarks that were him trying to make a joke. Do I think people are bigoted if they bring in hamburgers to make a point about Americans. No. i think they're retarded and move on with my life.Instead of acting like a thin-skinned child, there is real racism and bigotry in the world that needs to be addressed (such as what is happening in Australia)...this isn't one of those things. It's about a business possibly stealing from another business.

I almost downvoted you because you can't spell/use "you're

And it wouldn't be "ironic" of Samsung knowing what the competitors are developing, it'd be coincidental.

Other than that, I mostly agree with your post (#14)

And no one is denying anything, in fact I applaud Samsung for bringing the technology to the forefront. The problem is Samsung is now becoming a technological nuisance and its sickning to say the least. Pay close attention to what Sharp, LG and Panasonic and what they are no going to bring to the table.

I have no proof that this statement is not true. But, I will ask - Samsung is unique in situation? Apple? Microsoft? Facebook? Haven't they all conceded at some point or another? But, when all those accusations were being thrown around before, nobody threw in the racial slurs - "piles of kimchi!"

61. hepresearch (unregistered) posted on 15 Feb 2013, 09:10 3 1

A type of food is a racial slur?

64. gravityron posted on 15 Feb 2013, 09:23 4 1

I know what kimchi is - I am Korean. Clearly a type of food is not a racial slur. But you keep trying to figure this out ... ok?

Apparently I am missing something here. I thought that this was a kind of food. I love food, and I enjoy eating food of all kids. To this day, there is only one kind of food that still makes me gag, but that is another story altogether. I like food from just about anwhere... ravioli, potatoes, beef, rice, pizza, cranberry sauce, hamburgers, you name it. Allegories involving food are very entertaining to me, and are great for getting educational points into my mind. I don't understand how I did, but just the same I apologize if I offended you in any way.

Hey bro, hope you doing good :) greetings.
Coming to the point, 'Kimchi' is a traditional food of the Koreans, and that Samsung is from Korea...using the noun can be a form of disrespect. I'm just taking the example they use here...there are many examples with foods in relation with discrimination.
Have you ever seen Russel Peters' show? He sets pretty good examples.

Hey! Good to see you, sir! Yeah, I am starting to see as I read more... I think this has more to do with the associated function involved by the quoted official and repeated in the title by the author (and admittedly I re-used the same, not thinking, in a commen of minet)... the proper term "stacks" as opposed to that used originally by the statement maker ("piles"). It seems to me that is the issue here... it doesn't help that here in America we have a rather uncouth cultural habit of referring to a large plate of just about any kind of food as a "pile" of the same... a "pile" of mashed potatoes, a "pile" of spaghetti, a "pile" of beans and rice. In the proper terminology overseas, it seems that a "pile" is automatically a reference to something else not so pleasant. Thus, unfortunately, Americans everywhere are being offensive without even thinking about it. I have to say I have never seen any of Russel Peters' shows, but maybe people here in the US should be more careful about what they are saying. A lot of Americans also have a problem these days of holding little or nothing sacred... it is definitely becoming a greater problem in our culture, regardless of belief backgrounds.

I understand. I don't blame anyone...but unfortunately, people notice negative points (may or may not be intentional) faster than the speed of sound, lol. So one goes boom and it echos down the mountain. I don't know if, whoever said that, meant anything racial but it came out at a very wrong time even if it was meant to be unintentional.

We just had an intelligent side-conversation that was respectful and uplifting, and had little to do with Samsung at all, so why are you here spouting filth after everything and anything that needed saying for any good purpose in this end of the thread has already been said?

Don't worry about it. I appreciate the apology, and besides I've done my share of apologizing too. If it is up to me, I forgive you. I need just as much forgiveness myself. Everyone gets to make the choice to forgive, or not, for themselves. Others may speak for themselves... but one thing is for sure; please, let's all be a little more respectful and sensitive to the feelings of others no matter what we are talking about.

For now, it is just good to see people like me, yourself, and others, acknowledging the issue enough to recognize it and want to do better in the future. All the best to you, sir.
