I love how MiddleGround signs up today and gets right to work with all of the Android talking points well scripted. Oh, and he's an iPad user too. MiddleGround, is that like Fair and Balanced News from Fox?
Now, now. Can't we all get along? He's just bringing a middle of the road perspective. "Middle-Of-The-Road", that's a much better name. ;-)
Well at least they had the balls to pair gold with pink and brown glass! *barf*
Just think, there's warm & classy gold, like Apple's matt champagne finish, then there's cold & brassy gold, like a gold bar finish. You just know which Samsung seem to have chosen judging by these pictures, & as you say those screens.
No matter how you dress it up, or put lipstick on it, a pig is still a pig.
The comments on here are funny and who cares about colors? Apple copies Android and Samsung just like the others copy Apple. Apple has stolen or borrowed almost everything they have done and in turn created great products. It's how business works. I own both Apple and Android / Samsung products unlike many who are sheep to one brand on here. The innovation and advances that both brands show only makes for better products for all of us. And yes, Android, Samsung and others innovate and push Apple to try harder. I just wish Apple had some more innovation left than to just add a different color to their phones or an old technology like fingerprint security.
Not sure why the Apple folks get so fired up about something meaningless like color.
When will Samsung update their yellow flower gallery icon, don't they know representing a group of photographs with a yellow daisy is so passé?
Hey Samsung! Does your gold S4 have a 64-bit SoC? With 64-bit OS, apps, and drivers? No? Yeah. Didn't think so. Don't hold your breath for Google to release 64-bit Android.
I own about $350,000 in Apple stock (bought on the way up and down) and have a friend who works in the iPhone division…
It’s like elementary school. You’re a worthless, pathetic liar, just like everyone before you, and yet you’re trying to top all of their claims. I mean, for heaven’s sake, just say you have an effing Mac Mini. Or you want to buy an iOS device or something. If you’re going to waste our time, at least make your useless nonsense believable. Isn’t that what you’re being paid for?
Geezaloo, Samsung really needs to screen its people better, and you really need to stop whoring yourself out to the lowest bidder. Can’t even have respectable trolling anymore.
I wish they would copy some of the things that Samsung does or as you seem to think they just need to copy themselves. Would love for Apple to copy Apple on:
1. Larger screen options
2. Removable battery
3. Non-proprietary cables ($3 versus $30)
4. Live tile / widget updates (Android feature that is awesome - Google Now rocks on Android phones and it alone is worth the switch)
5. Automatic updates of apps. (Oh... scratch that. Apple followed Androids lead here )
Speaking of copying, I just updated my iPad and wow, does it now look like the latest version of Android or what? Actually a huge improvement since IOS was looking dated compared to other devices and platforms out there. Unfortunately it didn't go far enough in my opinion.
Look folks, both sides take elements from each other and as customers we enjoy the benefit of this. Imagine if nobody was pushing Apple or any of the many Android manufacturers (or Google) what we would have. Innovation and taking what the other has done and making it better is what Apple (and others) are all about and I'm all for it. Apple didn't invent any of this stuff. They just took what others had done and made it better.
Having said all of this, I'm an Apple shareholder because I love the products they create and they have a loyal following. Could they be even better? Yes. What drives me nuts though and why a lot of people won't buy Apple products is because of the sheep and Apple lovers that think that Apple can do no wrong and they blab to whoever will listen and every other product is the enemy. It's not a very likable trait and it's not the majority but it's a very loud minority that I'm sure won't change.

This sentence clarifies the agenda of MiddleGround. You couldn't make it ONE day without calling people names. Yet you ask in a different post "Can't we all get along?"
What motivates an individual like you? Insecurity? Normal people who feel strongly enough to comment don't feel compelled to go onto comment boards and insult and pick fights while proclaiming themselves, in essence, moderate. Don't have have people around you that you can gripe too? Why do it here? If you are driven nuts, go where this won't happen. Doesn't that make sense?

LOL. Samsung has ripped off Home Depot faux-gold.
You've seen it in the bathroom & kitchen fixture department.

Hi mstone. I guess that was you thanking me for joining the discussion on Apple Insider.
I've read Apple Insider for a few years but never hit reply on any comments until today so no great mystery there. Maybe I shouldn't have since I didn't realize folks are like rabid conservative or liberal government pundits on here. It's kind of funny. And I certainly wouldn't call Fox (or MSNBC) fair and balanced but I guess it depends on your political leanings. Sort of like Apple Insider would be fair and balanced around other products that aren't Apple I guess. ;-) I visit all kinds of sites as I try to be an open minded and educated buyer and investor. I realize some people are rabid Apple consumers but I didn't realize until I heard from them first hand how mesmerized they are by the brand to want to attack anyone who doesn't buy anything Apple without question. I like to review all options and pick what is best for me but that's just me. No reason to attack others for their choices or preferences and vice versa.
And yes I'm an iPad user (own 3 of them), have had iPods since their inception and had the original iPhone, 3GS and 4 models plus MacBooks. I happen to also have owned Windows products and Android products as well. Everyone one of them has their pros and cons.

Look at you..."rabid" "mesmerized". You are doing *exactly* what you accuse others of doing. You are not open-minded. Open-minded, educated people are able to discuss talking points without insults.

Um.. there must be a lot of abnormal people on this board then since most seem to insult another product , company or people on here. BTW, the sheep name wasn't made up by me and I apologize for saying that. I just hear it all the time out there and didn't 100% believe it but I'm starting to. I have no gripes except for the folks that seem to want to pick a fight and can't remain open minded. Gees folks. It's a darn phone. And there are lots of choices out there and choosing one over another doesn't make you smart or dumb.
As for doing it here, I just saw some ridiculous comments attacking others and thought I would step in and provide some alternative ideas. I didn't realize that others on here would beat their opinion into me. lol In the end it's both a bit sad and comical though since who's phone is better than the other isn't what's really important in life.

You seem singularly incapable of doing this.
Wow dude or dudette. LOL. It will be okay. In business you want to have rabid fans. It's a good thing. They drive the brand and it's those that stand in line for the latest iPhone. Samsung would kill for that. Rabid isn't always bad.
MiddleGround's motivation? Could it be $0.10 per trollish comment? Isn't that the going rate?

How do we find that stuff out, anyway? I mean, there has to be somewhere we can go online to see that companies are offering money for this.

That's great UNLESS you don't want or like that feature. Live tiles are widgets and widgets on the desktop with a 21" screen sucked. It isn't better, IMO, on a smaller screen. Personally, I'm not really sure how you had to see it believe how useful it is. Wouldn't imagination be enough? "I had no clue...".
Great. But for those of us with better insight about our preferences, would you accept that we don't like live tiles or widgets?
By the way, what's with the persecution complex? Where does it say that you must blindly gush? On the charter? Stop being dramatic.
I guess you are right. You can imagine what it would be like. I know I did and didn't think much of them until I used the phone and saw them and then I realized how helpful they were. And I'm okay with others who have tried and don't like tiles or widgets. Are you okay if I do like them? lol

lol. Wow. So much hate on here. I don't own a mini. I do own the stock. I'm not a troll and I'm not being paid for this or work for Samsung or any other phone provider. I'm just a consumer and business owner and technology lover. Apple included. Just because I want to see improvements in products doesn't mean I'm a hater of any brand.

Yes, Samsung's IC manufacturing division is competent. So what?
I wonder why the fandroids think that somehow justifies Samsung's theft of Apple's IP and silly blatant copying like their new gold phone.
Well at least they had the balls to pair gold with pink and brown glass! *barf*
Just think, there's warm & classy gold, like Apple's matt champagne finish, then there's cold & brassy gold, like a gold bar finish. You just know which Samsung seem to have chosen judging by these pictures, & as you say those screens.
