So if I was walking down the street and randomly punched you in the face, you would be the aggressor because the reason I did it was because I "knew" you were going to attack me?
Time to drop your flawed line.
umm...no. It's not my flawed line. It's FOSSPatents.
I could say more about your argument regarding battery life, but I realize that if you are willing to pull the image stunt above, then I am wasting my time. You are a fraud to me.
No you can't say more if you come down to this personal attack. The 4G option which can be always turned off (or dynamically managed) is better then no 4G option - You can't argue with that. "You are being disingenuous in this debate. You are a fraud to me."

Motorola has more pressing concerns some of Microsoft's suits against them start this week.
Google's attempt to muzzle one of Microsoft's key witnesses on the basis he might reveal "highly proprietary" parts of Android's code that is "not even shared with OEM's" has been thrown out.
No, it's cool, I get it. Desperately insecure about your choices, so much so that you have to actively seek out those that might chose differently so you can dance and yell.
But it's OK. Soon, your testicles will drop, and you'll get a place of your own, and you'll feel good enough about yourself to just do what you want without having to make sure everyone is watching.
Yeah, I'm ignoring that one. Repeats the same old fandroid trolling points. I'm starting to think some of these trolls are dumb enough to actually believe what they say.

Ah, I see you do read and trust some of the FOSSPatents blog.
It seems like more and more Apple is a design company and Samsung is a technology company.
Apple barks about the design aspect of things, where as Samsung barks about the technology aspect of things.
Apple is run by idealist designers, Samsung is run by precise engineers.
You mean copy paste engineers . Seems that Samsung didnt have enough business people on board who know what copying a trade-dress means. Now thats a whole other thing than patents....
I wish people would understand that this whole thing between android and ios devices is not just black and white. One manufacurer is violating trade-dress and patents, another is just violating patents.
Samsung for one had produced devices that clearly can be seen astetically violating the trade dress of apple devices.
Then on top of that they have copied the scrolling etc pretty closely and that one apple is targeting via patent dispute.
HTC has not copied apples trade dress like Samsung has. but consider this: other slates look exactly like the ipad BECAUSE Samsung bended the line for trade-dress violation for so long, before apple sued. Its kind of a boldness syndrome there if somebody does something balsy then im also doing it, hes still al right, nothing happened.
I gave you the reference for a picture posted by Mercury earlier in the thread, and it showed only one button. You supplied your own picture, which has three. Fine. There are a lot of different Samsung phones, with a varying number of buttons and other relevant features. Let's not quibble over each, or we will get nowhere. The bottom line is that Samsung has released a number of phones that have a curiously LARGE number of correspondences to Apple's iPhone, in both hardware and software design. Just two examples from your picture: look at the four permanent icons in the "dock" at the bottom (just like Apple) and note the striking similarity between Samsung's phone app icon and Apple's. Hence the trade dress (i.e. not patent) suit. Mercury keeps changing his story (will he, or will he not, be getting the Samsung Galaxy S II?) and his images (does the Samsung unit he wants to reference for the sake of the discussion have one button or four?).
Mercury also shows a willingness to change MY words as well. For example, in his previous response to me, he lifted out of context just the first part of a sentence in which I described a list of observations. These observations, taken in total, show that it is highly unlikely that Samsung did not blatantly copy the iPhone user interface. Lifting a partial quote is OK, provided you make clear that there was something left out (using ellipses, for instance). And you are never allowed to change anything, including punctuation. But when Mercury lifted my partial sentence, he not only failed to convey that this was just a sentence fragment, he also changed the comma into a period to imply that this was the end of my sentence (and my argument). Then he blasted me for a weak argument and included one of those ridiculous laughing heads. Note that he was laughing at a strawman argument of his own creation. I laugh at it too. But that was not MY argument. As I said above, my argument is based on the list of observations in total. Truncating my list and focusing on only one (or even two) items makes a different argument.
As I said in an earlier post, Mercury has been revealed a fraud. If the images didn't prove it earlier, then this blatant editing of my quote to alter my message clinches it.

I am sure that Apple knowingly included this side by side photo to show that S2 is copy of Iphone. If they brought default home screens with real size comparison, there would not have been an issue. The reason why they did this? Maybe that they knew they did not have a case, otherwise.
You argued about 4 permenant icons in the photo. But what are those striking similiarities? I see that there are 4 and they are icons but thats it, they are different. Are you saying that the telephone symbol is owned by Apple?
Galaxy Tab 10.1 image manipulation by Apple in German case is more serious. Images has been altered just to look like Ipad. If Apple brought those with default home screen with real size comaparison, there might have not been an issue in court proceeding.
Look at the following link and tell me what do you think.

Apple began work on the design of iPad (and then iPhone) well before 2006. And besides, this is about a lot more than the shape of the black rectangle. Please see the other elements I listed for you above.

No I mean I was talking about the images submited in the recent two courts in EU. I was saying manipulating images by Apple in courts were wrong.
I still fail to find striking similarities you are talking about. Compare those two for the default home screens, not the S2 images Apple presented. They are different although I understand that there are tiny similarities.
I own a Ipad 2. Before I bought it I compared with Galaxy Tab 10.1. Look! they are really different.
The image manipulations in the court cases prove that Apple does not have a strong case, IMO.

It doesn't matter whether this is Samsung's "home screen", "work screen", "left screen", or "right screen". There is no denying that numerous design elements were copied from Apple's homescreen to be utilized somewhere in Samsung's interface, right down to the color and content of some of the icons, which is outrageous. This is completely bogus.

Rather than Apple's attack sending Samsung scurrying for the nearest corner, it's instead seemed to re-energize them. They don't appear at all cowered by Apple. To the contrary they've instead "out-Appled" Apple in some of the new devices. Notebooks thinner than Apple can offer, with better hardware specs. A slate with more features, higher-end hardware, a comparable price and even thinner than Apple's iPad2. Smartphones? They've again exceeded expectations with the Galaxy II's. Much thinner than the iPhone4, better hardware. . . well you see the pattern. And now Sammy's rumored to be taking HP's laptop business into the fold, giving them a big market bump.
I'm reasonably certain that this isn't the response that Apple expected when they started the skirmish with Samsung.

If you turn on these three things:
(1) Samsung's Digital Photo Frame,
(2) Samsung's Galaxy Tab,
(3) Apple's iPad,
I think you should be able to see how much #2 copies #3, and that #1 doesn't do much but hang on a wall and change images periodically.
Your observation makes the same mistake others make: checking off "feature lists" as pure numbers, and not considering utility, etc. Samsung's tech is nowhere near as useful as Apple's, although they certainly work their butts off to make it look nearly the same. To have your battery life work out on their 4G gear, you have to be not using 4G a significant amount of the time, which pretty much defeats the purpose for getting that particular gear, wouldn't you say?

What were Apple products like before IPad and IPhone? Do you think Apple did not copy (by your meaning of copy) from other innovating companies like Samsung? I think that Apple copied the Samsung digital photo frame in IPad.
The fact is that Apple manipulated images in current two court cases, which proves Apple sees they do not have a case. Why would you?
If you turn on these three things:
(1) Samsung's Digital Photo Frame,
(2) Samsung's Galaxy Tab,
(3) Apple's iPad,
I think you should be able to see how much #2 copies #3, and that #1 doesn't do much but hang on a wall and change images periodically.
You are a moron.

Just a personal observation...
Your observation makes the same mistake others make: checking off "feature lists" as pure numbers, and not considering utility, etc. Samsung's tech is nowhere near as useful as Apple's, although they certainly work their butts off to make it look nearly the same. To have your battery life work out on their 4G gear, you have to be not using 4G a significant amount of the time, which pretty much defeats the purpose for getting that particular gear, wouldn't you say?
