Apple thinks they are the owners of all CELL PHONES on Planet Earth
 

All Notebooks look alike.

All LCD TV´s look alike.

All Computer cases look alike.

All routers look alike.

But Apple thinks that not all phones can look alike and is suing SAMSUNG for 1 billion, because they claim SAMSUNG copied iphone. WTF???..

Apple lost USA MARKET SHARE to the KOREAN SAMSUNG (number 1 in USA). After this TRIAL they want to take out of market all SAMSUNG PHONES...

Fucking CHEATERS and SCAMMERS...


Apple calls for ban on Samsung Galaxy smartphones:

And something I never undertsand, in USA they have normal people as JUDGES?.. They put an iphone vs a Samsung 3 in the trial and the judge of normal housewifes said: "yes they look alike".. ok then we ban all samsung phones and charge SAMSUNG with 1 billion...

what the fuck???.. That's not serious...

PIRIOD.

you just posted a fox news link and told us to read more did you ?

youre a fucking idiot cunt

Apple are just pissed Samsung kicked their ass! You think if the iPhone was selling more than the Galaxy that they'd have brought this shit up ??

Apple = Cunts

Kind a funny question
. What does this mean for the Samsung phone I already own?
Imagine if they would order how all owners of infringement phones would need to destroy it.

Take a chill pill buddy!

The reason they all look the same is because everybody has copied Apple.

The buttons below this message box are rectangles with rounded corners.

GFY can expect a cease and desist from Apple real soon.

quoted for TRUTH Good sire...!

Iphones look good but they're pretty pricey...

I don't understand Apple people. At all.

I have a friend of mine who thinks Apple is better than everything else in the world. Everything he owns, his computers, cell phones, etc, is all MAC. He was telling me how their new operating system can hook up his calendar to his cell phone. Neato - But using Google calendar and my Android my wife and I have been doing this for years now... We were in a bar the other day and he was pissy that he couldn't get a single. I have never ever EVER not been able to get a single on my cell phone. Ever.

Apple people think their shit is all that when the truth is it's the same exact shit, but they just pay more for it.

i wouldn't piss on an apple

Indeed. Here we see Commander Benjamin Sisko using an obvious copy of an iPad:

The makers of the device even had the audacity to call it a PADD, and tried to conceal their flagrant patent violation by coming up with the design a decade before Apple.

See. "Everybody has copied Apple".

Nice win for Apple, like them or not.

Are you talking about me? :)

That's the problem with really diehard Mac people. They live in such a bubble they no idea of what else is going on. I've been in the same situation, having some Mac fanboy showing me what his iPhone can do, and I'm like, "ok, my phone can do that too --and it also can do this, this and this..."

It is more about intellectual property theft. Korea is as bad or worse as China for stealing technology. Ask, Japanese tech companies, Nokia and just about any hi-tech company in US or EU.

Warner Bros pulled out of Korea for dvd production some time ago because the companies making the discs were also pirating the discs. Many tech companies have left Korea and many refuse to work for them due to same issue.

No big fan of Apple here but they have a right to protect their investment in R&D. Also, a US Court apparently disagrees with the OP.

LOL, I totally understand you... because i dont get apple fanatics either and always post about it here on GFY...

They are completely BRAIN-WASHED...

watch apple double the price of their products if they are able to get Samsung products banned.

hahaha, amazing... :1orglaugh

Does this look familiar?

Would be nice to see Apple get sue'd and put out of business for using touch screens.

Actually if I remember correctly Nokia actually was the first to have that style of phone.

won't affect samsung much. It's about the S2 and similar models before the S2. The S3 is out now and that isn't being banned, nor the Note. Plus i think the younger generation looks at this as a powertrip of Apple, so in clonclusion I don't think Apple will benefit much from it.

yea I don't care about phones but I got mobile phone sites, so I've got all this, to me, useless knowledge in my head lol.

Yep, reminds me of a site I used to visit.

Oh brother. :Oh crap So as well as owning the concept of boxes with round corners, Apple also owns the shape of laptops?

Apple is mad, come on, they didt invent all...

You got a point. Maybe RIM should sue Samsung for their older phones. RIM is irrelvant and dead in the water. Apple will join them soon enough.

Or you could just continue downloading "free" apps that ask you for money every five minutes. Steve Jobs is dead. So is his company.

Apple are cunts. Soon to be useless cunts.

I'll admit I was anti-apple for a long time and was an andoid dude. Finally said fuck it and picked up a 4S a while ago to see what all the gayness was about. Like the look of it, runs flawless with no crashes which I used to experience occasionally on android. Currently use Apple, Android & Blackberry but yeah I dig the Apple now even though I called them gay for years. :1orglaugh

Soon is a relative term.

The picture is not really clear but thats Samsung's version of the MacBook Air originally called the Series 9, now called Series 5 ChromeBook. Point is no one was making an ultra thin notebook until Apple and again everyone copies them.

It is about who built it first, it is about who owns the patent.

Apple owns everything except Steve Jobs' soul.
Microsoft owns that.

There's no such thing as a "version of a MacBook Air". A MacBook Air is simply a version of laptop. They are both laptops. What do you expect a laptop to look like if redundant elements of it are removed and component parts get smaller? You expect them to fill the space up with sand and keep it the same size and weight as before?

It has nothing to do with Apple. Any more than the fact our phones aren't the size of bricks is to do with a single company, or that we don't use huge CRT monitors any more.

As I demonstrated in my previous post, IBM and Compaq (and others) had laptops with a certain design before Apple used the same design. Does that mean Apple "copied" IBM and Compaq, or just that that's what laptops happened (and had) to look like due to constraints on technology and component size at the time?

Despite the fact that's how it works with everything else, Apple, and its fanboys, try and claim that what Apple does is somehow magical and should be protected.

I really don't understand idiots who defend what Apple is doing. It's quite obviously a Bad Thing for consumers, including Apple customers. Less competition = higher prices and less innovation and advancement. Why do you think that's a good thing?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh awesome

Venus blogger - Are you pro piracy when it comes to porn content as well as tech intellectual property?

Absurd premise for a thread - and I love my Samsung FAR more than I did my iphone before I switched - any informed person knows that Apple was robbed blind.

Now that is hilarious. The largest tech company in the world will soon be "dead in the water"?

That happens to many. Apple's products run flawlessly and have excellent user interfaces, the devices run seamlessly together and their support, online and retail stores are incredible.

These are the reasons why Apple has become the largest company in the world.

PC and Droid users can whine all they want. My neighbor's new Samsung phone crashed 3x the other night at our house when he was showing us some videos. He swore Monday morning he was heading to the Apple store to get an iphone, which he did. Apple simply works!

Iphone 5 is coming in a few weeks....

Sure, buddy. On the left, LG's Prada. On the right, iPhone.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....-prada-pt2.jpg

I guess Prada should be used to replicas of its products though.

they just feel that samsung is better and cheaper
apple won't rule the world till we have a choice, i don't have any of their products, i'm happy with my asus laptop and my nokia smartphone.

What parts of the the iPhone are actual Apple inventions?

The accelerometer?
Gyroscope?
GPS?
Wi-Fi?
Blutooth?
Multi-Touch?
Scratch-resistant glass?
Liquid crystal displays?
Rechargeable batteries?
Turn-by-turn navigation?
Voice control?
Multicore processors?
Memory chips?
Camera?
Rectangle shape with round corners?
What?

What Apple did was assembling a product using already existing technologies. No doubt the first two iPhones were a big leap forward on the phone market. What they did was improve the phone making the keyboard obsolete, and making the software better.
Credit for that. It wasn't without inspiration from already existing products though.

Portraying Steve Jobs as being ahead of his time and declaring him one of this century's biggest innovators is quite an exaggeration.

Actually the law suit was based on design patents.
not the intellectual property that may be inside.

I will never buy an apple product just for the fact that it's used by brainwashed fanboi idiots like you.

Apple didnt invent shit. They were just devious enough to patent that rectangle design.

It's absurd.

I had the iphone 3gs and the iphone 4 great phones if you didnt need to make phone calls.The worst reception I ever had with phones. They were fun but I needed a phone not a toy.

Ah yes, the iPhone 4's notorious feature whereby when you picked it up it turned into a iPod Touch (no calls).

Fantastic attention to detail from Jobs; a fine example of Apple 'just working'.

Apple could not compete with Samsung so Apple sued Samsung. Screw Apple. Samsung will be getting a few sympathy-purchases from me.

http://macdailynews.com/2007/01/16/l...im ilarities/

LG was thinking about suing at the time.

LOL. My new S3 rapes. My new Imac on basically a fresh install won't even shut down properly. At all, has to be hard reset everytime. Not to mention coming standard with dumb shit like the scroll wheel reversed and the harddrive icon hidden so you can't even navigate where you want to without configuring things.
