I totally agree with you man. Apple is america's largest company, our economy gets effected if apple goes down.

apple is not america's largest company.. its far from it.

it is americas RICHEST company. There is a big difference. The economy does not hinge on iphone sales. It doesnt even make a dent in our economy. Hate to break it to ya. All apple's slave labor is in another country, so if iphones stopped selling tomorrow, they might fire a few people in the head office, but nothing noticable in america.


Looking the same is kinda crummy, but its not illegal to look similar to something else. Patent violation however, is illegal.

Remix when Apple was attempting to ban Samsung you said it was anticompetitive and bad for the consumer. Do you feel Samsung is being anticompetitive.

no
for one reason only

if samsung wins, then samsung and apple will come to a stand off agreement and agree to let each other play together and stop this legal nonsense. Samsung has to push back as hard or harder to stop Apple's bullying, so anything Apple has already done is fair game for samsung to try. I really dont think there is much underhanded legal crap that Apple hasnt tried yet, so they should be expecting it all back in spades.

If samsung were pulling an apple and merely trying bullying everyone into submission, i would be completely against it.

But Apple pays tax to the American govt. It is a listed company. Apple is more about innovations than patents. There are thousands of patents for every silly thing invented.

Wow!!!! Apple invented rectangular shape cellphones & tablets. That is best innovation I've ever seen. Apple invented how to patent other ideas as your own.

Your link is from cultofmac.com, therefore not only is it not worth anyone's time, but any comments you have that I might have interpreted as non-biased will be seen as the exact opposite.

Samsung is just copying. Too addicted to it. No innovations.

Yes, Samsung found success only because of Android; which is free. While Nokia , RIM and Apple had to invest additional amount in developing their OS.

right, which is why samsung invests billions in hardware in research while NONE of those companys even comes close... combined.

And you criticize samsung for that kind of move (swimming in Android waters)? Why spend multimillion dollars in OS development when you can hook up with an already tested OS. Sometimes you need to trust your brain more than your ego. . .

Nokia has over 30,000 patents and motorola over 17,000(now belongs to Google). They are they real innovators of communication and mobile technology.
