And with the shadow being a "5", does that add to your illness??
Leaked from internal Samsung Corporate Headquarters:
"Company News Flash: This just in, Samsung sells more Galaxy S III's than Apple does! REPEAT We sell MORE Galaxy S III's than Apple. Projections show us to continue to sell more Android phones than Apple into the foreseeable future. We're back baby!"
That's why I said it.
I think it's interesting, though, that the invite went out today. It completely overshadows THIS story right here. No one but fandroids on Apple forums will remember that the S III outpaced the iPhone 4S today, because the 6th iPhone was announced just hours later.
They'll just say that David has slain Goliath. Ignoring that another Goliath is standing behind him, tapping him on the shoulder.

Apple needs to sue AT&T for gross, willful slander. This is unac-effing-ceptable.
I want to work at Apple Corporate. I so want to work at Apple Corporate. Preferably medium-high up. Walk into an AT&T store, hear this tripe, and then just explode at the guy from across the room, walking ever closer.
Why are you ranting hysterically about AT&T?
Doesn't it specifically say "Verizon store"?
Maybe we can get Crispin Glover to play you in the movie...similar temperament, I hear.

Every time I start thinking I'm an Apple fan boy I just come here and read a few comments...especially ones by certain "moderators." I'm completely prepared for the bashing I will receive, BUT...this is the first time I've ever had a little bit of phone envy. However, my envy is only on the hardware side. The GS3 is a good looking phone. I would seriously consider it over my iPhone 4S if it ran iOS and that makes me a little sad. IF all the leaked photos are accurate and the new iPhone is simply a stretched version of the 4S then I will be extremely disappointed and I know I won't be alone.

It's both.

This doesn't prove anything. How many iPhone 4S have been sold since it was released and how many Galaxy S III's have been sold since it's been released? What are the TOTAL numbers? I didn't see actual numbers, just ratings for monthly sales.
Now, in order for Samsung to sell their latest FLAGSHIP product, they have to pay these slimy cell phone sales reps $25 a phone as a SPIFF. Hardly a good business practice for what is supposed to be great product.
I think it's biggest selling feature is that its' got a big screen. THAT'S IT. That's all it has.
Other than a big screen (not retina class) the OS still has problems with 4.0.4 and 4.1 is not yet out for it. At least for the Sprint version. I'm sure all of these slimy reps that are pushing Samsung products are nervous because the impending iPhone 5 announcement and usually when Apple announces a product, people line up to buy one but they typically line up at Apple Stores rather than the cell phone stores.
certainly an interesting situation.
Just for the record, I HATE going into Cell Phone stores. The sales reps at these stores are typically kids right out of school acting like they know everything and they are typically slime to work with.
I always thought the cell phone industry was trying to figure out how much to charge and they are worse to deal with than the cable/dish companies.
Thank God for Apple Stores where I don't get products rammed down my throat. At least they aren't paid on commission and are paid to sell the right products. I've had Sales Reps at Apple try to sell me on less expensive products because that's all I really needed, I didn't feel like they were trying to push the most expensive product on me.
With these cell phone stores, I feel all they want to do is push a particular product on me and I can smell their little $25 SPIFF mentality.
For those cell phone reps out there, don't FORCE a product down someone's throat that they weren't asking for in the first place.

Interesting... Do you have a link for this, or any citation?
I still don't get this whole "customization" issue. My iphone does exactly what it's supposed to do, maybe I'll put a picture of my kids on the front, or if i really want to get into it, i'll do a custom ring tone or two! It takes very good pictures, siri works well most of the time, music:self explanitory, same with games and utilities. Do android users really spend that much time "customizing" thier phone? If they do, i suggest they look around and spend some time in the real world! They just might like what they see!!

Yeah... I don't understand the UI "customization" issue either... it just works intuitively, why screw around with it... maybe they were (are) deprived as little boys that didn't have an Erector Set...
If they were really serious about "customization" they would buy or write apps.

Except one thing, it cannot do phone calls as well as other phones as the call quality is below average.

If you're going to lie about Apple, at least post links with proof.

It stirs. It comes out of its cave. It sees its shadow. Six more weeks of its eternal winter.
An iPhone, a Leatherman and thou... ...life is complete.

The key would be if the new iPhone can be jailbroken or not. If it can't? It's going to be trouble for Apple. Will still sell well in US but the growth could be on last leg internationally. My friends in foreign countries (Europe/Asia) for the 1st time, owns more Galaxy S III than iphone. It's a small sample but still telling in my book since most of my friends are not good at tech.
You better be joking.
I think this might be the reason Apple sent the invitation out today instead of tomorrow. But we can never really know.
What better retribution for an opponent finally standing on his own two feet than to kick him in the crotch?

Manager comes out, "sir, you're going to have to leave," whip out my Apple Corporate ID, watch his face go white as a sheet.
"We're not done here," I'll say, even if I've no authority to say so, "you won't get away with these lies." Walk out, leaving all other customers wondering what they were lied to about the iPhone, leading them to do research on their own.
You really are too emotionally invested in this, and you really should learn to relax sometimes. Beyond that laws in terms of litigation and other matters really don't work the way you see on television.
You mean the utility patents? I haven't looked into that fully, but infringing is not the same as using Apple's IP. They don't have the same source code or anything. It's just this is similar enough to what we patented so we're suing you on it. Having looked at some of the other software patents, they are pretty generic. Apple just appeals rejections until they wear the examiner down with amended versions. I'm convinced that you just make posts like the one above for your own amusement.
My stars, it was a joke. But do you think that sort of behavior is acceptable? Not my post's, Verizon/AT&T's?

You are presenting preachy crap here. I'd have to look up if the SIII was included within that, but infringing on a utility patent does not mean it's the same thing. Utility software patents are granted on concepts. They do not involve source code, which is protected by copyright. Perhaps you've looked into whether these are actually truly similar implementations or just things which fall within the outskirts of very broad patents. Now patents are supposed to be specific, yet if you read any of the specific "what is claimed" lines, they aren't always that specific.
