Samsung will lie, cheat, steal, copy, and just about anything else that is low life to make a buck or win an argument. Boycott Samsung products. They have no morales, not one drop of honesty in them. Samsung is corrupt through and through.
Personally, I would add astroturfing, benchmark-cheating, and press-threatening to the above, but there may not have been enough room in the headline, you know?
I decided some time ago that I would not buy any Samsung products because the company has despicable business practices and there are many other brands to choose from. Coincidentally, when I had a highly reputable independent appliance repairman in the house to deal with a couple of minor issues, We ended up discussing the quality of modern appliances. He said people's reluctance to pay for quality has had a significant impact on appliances. He told me the worst modern appliances are from Samsung and LG. He said they were all glitz and no substance, gimmicky, over-complex, unreliable and hard to repair. And he said parts are expensive and hard to get.

They are also accused of giving their plant workers cancer.

With the enviable ethical reputation that Apple enjoys, why do they continue to associate with Samsung in a business relationship? Apparently they don't fell as strongly about the issue as you do. There are other vendors for screens, cpu, memory, etc, but Apple always renews contracts with Samsung. I wonder which company has a stronger negotiating advantage, Apple or Samsung?
First I would tend to listen to a Professor from CMU about software before someone from a NC University. CMU has a long history with Software and Software engineering. It looks like Samsung could not find anyone else who had a different view point than Apple by they found this guy from NC.
Also since they are arguing that Sidekick was prior artwork, I would have to agree, I used sidekick for years when it finally came out on the mac and love that program and it did have a way of recognize certain types of text. Can not say it was exactly like Apple but it was similar from what I remember. This could be an interesting point to see how that plays out.
They've got a good thing going. If they can figure out how to expand services (it's expensive!) without targeted ad money they have a good chance of growing share.

I wonder if 1) Apple would be interested in buying them, and 2) how much it would cost.

I only have 1 Samsung product left in my house to get rid of: Samsung DLP which I got in 2007 and got screwed by its flawed chip which Samsung refused to fix. After that, I'm free of Samsung products.

It's not so much that there aren't others who make quality products, it's that Samsung has quantity on its side. Apple is guaranteed large sums of parts which many companies can't do. Apple has been trying help other companies grow so in the future they won't have to rely on Samsung, but it takes time.
Someone should write a comic strip with Apple as the good guys and Samsung the baddies. Steve Jobs, Sir Jonathan Ive and Tim Cook would be the principal superheroes, of course.
Samsung's wickedness would be comical in its obviousness, were it not reality.

Lie, cheat, steal, bribe: the story of Samsung.
Actually, not too far off:

Isn't Ask.com's toolbar and start page widely considered malware?
Aren't Google services widely considered malware?
Apparently you're not familiar with Ask.com. :rolleyes:

I knew you were going to say that.
That'll be $25.
Scamsung here,

That'll be $S5.

Were you drunk when you wrote that?
Do you mean you really want to see Samsung lose, or that you want to see Samsung lose big time, or both? Any way, I agree with all sentiments!
I’ll crawl back to Pedants' Corner...
