    Am I supposed to like Apple less after having become a moderator on an Apple forum? image

    I misspoke one time about how many years Samsung has been in the smartphone business. Show me a "lie" that I wrote with any of those screen names which prompted you to ban my IP. If you cannot, that would make YOU the liar.

    Wow, that was one of my favorite Cheech and Chong sketches, I beleive (and I'm pulling from my drug addled memory) it was called Chekborneck, of the album Los Cochinos, famous for Sargent Stadanko, Basketball Jones, The Evelyn Woodhead Speed Reading Course and the Peter Rooter commercial (as well the Drive-In Shit where they saw the trailer for 'Buggery on the High Seas 'Fifty lashes! You ought to give him a hundred for what he did to me!) Good times, people good times...

    Yeah, they definitely were obligated to make it with identical dimensions–exactly 7.6 inches square.

    Guys do you know what makes those image comparisons biased? You're not even trying to look for similar or recent designs that preceded the iphone. At least whoever made them didn't try. Many of those preceded the initial iphone by 10 years or more. Some of them are closer to the Newton era. Note the old school nokias with protruding antennae and pre- Windows CE slabs (wasn't it called pen point?).

    You know what would make this ITC case awesome? If Judge Pender brought in Cheech and Chong and had them test a fecal log.

    Maybe wear a different hat* while moderating and use your old standard (without the "moderator" tag) for passionate comments.


     


     


    *hat = member name

    Well members, this copycat caims again.  Getting bored really, just like my IPad which became an expensive toy for my kids.


     


    Why you bother this much?  Without Samsung, you probably would not have been enjoying some of your beloved products which is boring and way passed by competitors in every aspects.


     


    IMO, calling Samsung 'copycat' was one of the most stupid things to say by SJ.

    I don't talk to everyone here but everyone I talk to that has been here for years and years like me has said (and I totally agree) that you have gone way far off the deep end these last weeks.  Melgross (also a moderator) used to freak out on people and cross the line once in a blue moon (we are all human after all), but he would then usually step back apologise and move on.  It's pretty clear that you're ruing the board for everyone however and everyone can see it (except perhaps you).  


     


    You showboat and bully people around, and you clearly don't deserve to be a moderator.  I really just don't understand it because you're obviously smart and funny etc. and a few weeks ago I would have said I agree with almost everything you post, but ... As Cheech and Chong would say .... "you've changed man."  


     


    So while you're thinking of banning me (if you even take a moment to think at all) and deleting this post so no-one knows what you did ... you might want to just own up to it and apologise, or at least lighten up and turn back into the good natured person you used to be before whomever peed in your breakfast cereal or whatever happened to make you like this. 


     


    You'll probably take this as a personal attack for some reason, but I'm serious.  I don't dislike you at all and most people here probably don't either, but you should really, seriously take a look in the mirror.

    Got a shot of the 'interface' of your 'tablet'?


     


    Although it's not the exact model, here's the back of this 'iPad look-a-like':

    If anything, it demonstrates that Samsung could only stick a basic image viewer into that form factor at that time, whereas a few years later Apple stuck in a whole flippin' computer.


     


    Here's what Samsung was putting out in tablet form just before the iPad came out. The Samsung Q1 Ultra:

    And the specs:


     


    Weighing in at 690g and measuring 23.9mm thick, the Q1 Ultra features a 7-inch widescreen LCD which displays graphics at a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, a Qwerty keyboard in the form of a split thumb pad, a 60GB hard drive, 1GB system memory, improved battery life of 3.5 hours and Windows Vista operating system.


     


    Loaded with awesome Vista-ry goodness.


     


    Check out that sexy stylus!


     


    Myth busted.

    Gazoobee,


     


    Everybody I know and talk to, including the guy who delivered our TV a couple of months ago, say that TS is an awesome guy who deserves a medal for self-restraint in not dealing with every single one of the attention-lacking, parent-love deficit fools that come here daily for their dose of personal worth.


     


    Bugger.


     


    It looks like my infinity friends cancel out your infinity friends.


     


    Keep on moderating just the way you do, TS.

    Oh dear, saved with the colour and horrendous must-put ports they are really shite Samsung. I mean... I can't even say it. OKay anti-Apple troll might argue with the rectangular, height etc. but COME ON! SERIOUSLY? Billions of dollars of R&D and you come to that?

    "Keep on moderating just the way you do, TS."  Agreed.


     


    I don't care to read posts by those who consistently post misinformation in order to distract from the discussion or denigrate Apple or Apple supporters.

    Most of the denigration that occurs in this forum is leveled at those who say anything that suggests Apple might not be perfect in action, thought or deed.

    You mis-spelled "Most of the denigration that occurs in this forum is leveled at those who fabricate complete lies and spend countless hours spreading FUD".
