So you prefer DOS prompts and crappy cell devices?
The command line is superior... on "Windows" PC's (The Windows Vista/7 start menu also counts as a command line.) It's also only way to use Linux PC's. On the Mac it's nicely done up in a way that you never have to use a command line, but the option exists.
Crappy cell devices... Motorola has never produced a non-crappy phone. Stylistically they were prefered by Americans because of the "whoa cool flipphone" factor. Nokia was stubbornly slow to realize this, produced technologically superior devices, but their phones were always ugly or poorly thought out. Nokia's flipphone looked like a Gameboy SP, Nokia's N-Gage had the "side talking taco" problem that turned into a meme. Samsung and LG just made phones that copied Motorola back then, and their phones were poorly engineered and barely worked on US networks. Nokia and Motorola squandered the leads they had in their respective home markets.
Like, call me skeptical, but I wouldn't believe a word that comes from Samsung. The produce nothing but cheap pretty copycat trash. They may make outlandish claims about not copying, but the very fact that Samsung was producing parts for Apple was probably enough for engineers to do what we've seen in the leaks, put the parts together and fill in the missing blanks. Once a real device came out, they had every opportunity to copy it better. Maybe there were meetings held privately "off the record" where someone went "so we put all the apple parts we are producing together, and suspect Apple is making X, Y and maybe a Z"
I have no love for Samsung, and no love for Motorola, and both of these come from having to deal with customers returned/exchanging them. I would never sell their stuff at any price.

I love Apple but for the sake of humanity I hope they lose! Apple losing will set an example for every other corporation who tries to bully the small guy. Go Samsung! Free Apple Juice for everyone when Apple loses.

I mostly feel the same way. Been an Apple shareholder since before the iPod, but something drastic needs to happen in order for this lawsuit happy environment to end. Only people benefitting from this are lawyers and patent trolls. I understand the reasons for patents but it surely hinders competition (generally speaking). Competition is good for everyone. Intel and MS got lazy when they were the top dog, i don't want to see Apple do the same.

Really?! I guess you also support those little chinese copycats (like Goapple) who make total ripoffs of the iPhone too!

Judge Koh is of Korean heritage but was born in the USA and he is also a she. At least half of the articles on AI that mention her name also include a picture of her.
Apple is 'one and only' trouble maker in industry.
If you bothered to get your facts straight, then you would know that the "trouble maker" in this instance is Motorola, who sued Apple first.
They also sued Microsoft, first.
Apple and Microsoft are defending themselves against Motorola's unprovoked attack.
Google only bought Motorola because this "trouble maker" was also threatening to sue Samsung, HTC and other Android handset makers, they forced Google's hand in the scam of the century, twelve and a half billion dollars, laughing all the way to the bank.
The world will be a better place without Motorola, the pager is as dead as they soon will be.
Samsung is counting on the cheap mentality of the Westerns ( no wonders european police makers and european car manufacturers are afraid of Chinese and South Korean cars ).
And it may win.
It is a crime to download movies from the internet even if you do not make any money out of it.
It is normal for a big international corporation to steal other big corporation and make money, billions.
How would you personally benefit from the absence of Apple?
Simple, how an envier ( from my dictionary.app • Envy is best defined as a resentful emotionthat "occurs when a person lacks another's(perceived) superior quality, achievement or possession and wishes that the other lacked it." ) feels when his/her wish become reality?

"Only way", huh.
Your line of thinking was outmoded 28 years ago.

You'll be waiting a long time for an answer for a long time.
Good luck.

Good Luck with that

If there was no Apple, how could Samsung or anyone else have copied them? World wouldn't be a better place.

You do know that the Judge can overthrow the Jury's decision if she/he doesnt agree with its outcome, no?
Judge Koh is of Korean heritage but was born in the USA and he is also a she. At least half of the articles on AI that mention her name also include a picture of her.

You one and only trouble maker on forum?

Yes... and also yes.
He is also arguing in a fundamentally wrong way.
He says APPLE is causing trouble (presumably because they sue everyone).
Yet in the article he links to... even the headline says, that GOOGLE is suing here...
If we go by the crude and simplistic logic... GOOGLE is the trouble maker here... not Apple.
I mean...hell... if you wanna make a case against Apple... say that they are douches... you can. But at least do it logically.
Samsung is counting on the cheap mentality of the Westerns ( no wonders european police makers and european car manufacturers are afraid of Chinese and South Korean cars ).
