...you could say the same thing about the iPhone...it has Samsung, LG, Sharp technology utilized by Apple.
And if Samsung technology was being isolated and tested then I would say to someone that stated it was an Apple technology that they are incorrect. We've seen it with Qualcomm components that Apple has simply gotten their hands on first. It's still Qualcomm's technology, not Apple's. No where in the video did he scratch the plastic casing or bezel or anything else that Samsung could possibly get credit for the technology hence my comment that the video is about Corning's technology that happens to be licensed and utilized on a Samsung product but is not a Samsung technology.
Transparent Aluminum has been technically doable for over 15 years. I first read about it (I believe) in Discover magazine, circa 1995. The inventor created transparent china (I believe) back then by creating the material by laying atom by atom and layer by layer. The item formed was one giant crystal that was transparent and not brittle. A china plate made like this wouldn't break if dropped. Materials break along crystal boundaries so if the entire material is just one crystal it's almost unbreakable. The process is probably way to expensive, but I would like to see it done at least once.
To your highlighted comment....you could say the same thing about the iPhone...it has Samsung, LG, Sharp technology utilized by Apple.
Nice demonstration of Corning's Gorilla glass, do you have another clip which show's Qualcomm's processor being put through it's paces, you know the 1.9GHz one the LTE version of the S4 uses?

Transparent aluminum has been used in industry for decades. It's called sapphire.
Wrong. Sapphire is aluminum oxide, not aluminum.
Even a pure, single crystal of aluminum would not be transparent, at least not under ambient conditions (I think I read somewhere that it becomes transparent under very high pressures and/or temperatures, but don't care enough to look it up).
If true, this cooperation is good news. In the last year or so, Apple's attitude toward Samsung has had me wondering if we'd end up with second rate products because the best supplier was Samsung.

The video displayed the S4......that was enough for me. Here is the link to the YouTube video where it says "

Oops. No, wait. That could be going down the memory hole.
