My mistake. You'll be gone in one day at most.

 When Apple is right, they're right. Even if it's *consistently*. 

Credit where credit is due.

The facts are sorta biased toward Apple "fanatics" these days.

Sorry. 

But please, keep posting more of your personal anecdotes. They're fun and easy to address.

No one cares what you people have or pretend to have. It has nothing to do with the words you're saying. If the argument is crap on its own, no amount of "past ownership" can save you.

The fact that you proclaims opinions that differ from yours as a crap or you do not trust what others people say even if this is not affecting your life in any way, makes you narrow-minded.

Take a deep breath and acknowledge that in Universe may exist people that think or see things differently. "Think different" :)

That might take a while. Will you still be around when that happens?

Unless they're just wrong, of course.

And they can *still* be uninformed, and likely in denial. 

Jim Ballsilie and his co-CEO *also* saw things "differently." Sanjay Jha in 2007 also saw things differently. 

You can't use the "different strokes for different folks" idea as an excuse for stupid.

Why are pretending objective fact is a subjective argument? It stops being an opinion if it's something that flies in the face of objectivity. You can say, "In my opinion, the sky is green." But that's not an opinion. That's just plain wrong.

Just my opinion.

Wise up, it is precisely the lack of innovation by Samsung that has led to Apple's litigation to protect their innovation. Rather than berate Apple you should be having a go at Samsung for themselves copying rather than innovating. Further you seem to have neglected that Apple has brought under the hood innovation by designing their own SoC which allows them to run a dual core faster than Samsung's quad.

Don't drop your Galaxy S3

You know, on this site, as well as on other various ones I come, I used to be upset by trolls, but this is no longer the case, because I feel they are so pathetic that they contribute to give the site a welcomed humoristic touch. So, instead of banning them, I think you should score them, and periodically grant a "Best troll contest award"....

The court cases are ongoing in Australia, Germany and other countries in Europe, your statement is plain wrong.

and if to return to the very beginning of this discussion where I said "It would be nice to hear that..." firstly it sounds more like my wish. Do you really think that "Apple releases beta-like products to end users = the sky is green?

Only when the statement of the former half isn't the case.

Indeed, Samsung should be ashamed of the awful color rendition of its AMOLED displays!

Discriminating babies choose AMOLED. Everyone else with any taste chooses IPS.

Ok. In what from what I said in very first post of this thread you do not agree and think it is crap, in particular?

Apple is going to go for the maximum penalty not because they need it for anything, not because they feel Samsung is competing with them, but because they are making an EXAMPLE out of Samsung.  

Apple innovated and many companies copied them.  Apple patented their designs, not just rectangles and rounded corners, but their DESIGNS.  If you copy their DESIGNS, expect to be sued and expect to lose.  

Apple may not get a penny from Samsung and certainly doesn't need the money, but it should serve as a deterrent to other companies designing phones.

Enough, is Enough !!!!!!!!!!  Stop the greedy machine !!!!!!!!!!!  Keep making good hardware , phone, music players and that will give enough dough for centuries to come !!!!!  I know they already learned what patent means !!!!  

Peace

That is the *only* Mac for less than $1000 and it's not even a laptop. Not even an iMac. All the growth is in laptops and mobiles. One Mac that costs $599 in a limited, lean lineup of machines that are full of *other* form factors that are very much in demand, almost doesn't even count. For all intents and purposes, the entry fee *is* at least $1000. Most people buy new macs, not refurbs or other Macs available through "special" means.

Do you really think the Mini is a big seller in Apple's lineup, even with that price tag? Hardly. It's all about laptops and to a lesser extent, iMacs.

And you call people here fanatics? If you believe what you're saying, you're fucking dellusional. Yes, iOS is going to become a "niche" product after the iPhone is selling anywhere from 5-8 million units in its 1st weekend of the latest "pathetic and outdated" version, and when each new phone continues to sell more than all previous generations combined. Not to forget iPad, which even slobbering trolls like you have to admit completely dominates the tablet space in all aspects. Meanwhile, Macs continue to smash their own sales records quarter after quarter, and have outgrown the PC industry for the past several years. But yeah, iPhone will magically become "niche" next month or something, the same thing foaming at the mouth Apple hating, rabid trolls like you have been saying since the iPhone 1st debuted, and yet every time it simply smashes all previous metrics of success and continues to skyrocket. Strange how people like you don't actually spend time, oh I don't know, enjoying/using your phones or the products you like, instead of signing up to forums dedicated to products/companies you despise simply to troll and spread bullshit. The thought has never occured to me to sign up to sites dedicated to products I don't like simply to bash those products. What a pathetic, empty life you must lead to be compelled to do this. 

This guy is why we need to fix the education system.

By the way, if Google is God, then God needs to put a bit more work into the following creations:

Google Buzz

ChromeOS

Best of luck with the Nexus tablet, 'God'.

Contrary to what some critics and trolls would have you believe this is not the least bit damaging to Apple's public image. As has been pointed out this is all about sending a message to would be copycats that Apple intends to make their lives as miserable as possible if they choose to copy rather than compete. Recent ads by Samsung, Motorola, and Nokia indicate to me that this is getting under their skins big time and they are starting to lash out wildly in desperation. Maybe the jury verdict will be overturned, maybe not. Except for the cultist trolls who worship them Samsung's reputation has taken a big hit. I haven't heard a single person in my personal sphere, tech or otherwise, who doesn't believe Apple is just protecting its innovations from cheap knock-off copycats.

Unless the earth opens up and swallows Cupertino, this decade truly belongs to Apple. We've only seen the tip of the Apple iceberg for the past few years.

How? The world, yet again, is in the grip of Apple-mania. Consumers don't care about the ins and outs of patent litigation. It's all about the goods. And Apple's got em.

Ain't that the truth.
