It appears as though Samsung finally gave Apple enough rope to hang themselves with. I really hope this turns out badly for Apple, and they finally get a taste of their own medicine.

Wasn't it confirmed awhile ago that the f700 actually did not come out before the iphone? Why are we talking about this picture again, at least a year later since it was last put up here?
If you read the article that was posted and even some of the comments, Samsung allegedly has internal documents showing that they were developing the F700 in 2006 and can prove it. Now if they really do have those documents, which i doubt they would lie about having them, then it puts apple in a precarious situation. They aren't trying to say they came out with it before the iphone, all they have to do is show that they in no way copied apple in their design work. If the documents do in fact prove that point, then apple has zero leg to stand on.Quote:

Yes, I know they'll never read it, but it feels good to say.dancedroid
How do you think apple came up with their GUI. They stole it from microsoft. Then made the code work with the interface and their base OS code.
Apple has been stealing ideas from the beginning. They're more imitative than innovative.
OP Updated.
if they lose, then it will cause Apple to slap lawsuits on the idiotic "display order and lists" patent they just got to sue anyone that uses some outline or list to order anyting on the phone scrren.
You know that you don't have to hate Apple just because you happen to love Android, right? I love Android, but I also am in love with my Macbook Pro <3. Just because you aren't nuts about their business practices doesn't mean you should blindly ignore the fact that they have very well-built products that work well and run quite smoothly :). I don't know that I will ever go back to a Windows computer. I'll take my computer freezing up ~2 times a year over ~50-100+ times a year any day, and I fail to see how that makes me a sheep.Quote:

I have a three year old Asus running windows 7. I have never experienced one freeze up. I really don't understand the mentality that "Apple products just work." As opposed to any other manufacturers not working? To each his own, but it is absolutely fair for anyone that disagrees with Apple's crappy business tactics to not support that company by not spending money with them, irregardless of the build quality.Quote:

What came first, the Chicken or the Egg? :p
