Apple is clearly the "whitest" company with the lowest percentage of non-whites, non-foreigners in their design and managements staffs.
Indeed, those who can't innovate, litigate.
Where's your proof? Idiotic comment when you have NO idea. Look at the patent filings from Apple and you can see the names of the engineers involved. Look at the diversity. But I'm sure you've made your ignorant mind up already. Sad that haters are so blind.
Samsung will soon be copying and fighting the smaller Asian device makers for scrap.
As shameless a copycat as Samsung is, it is becoming more difficult for them to copy Apple's latest innovations. (They keep trying)
Many of Apple's new innovations are broad and large scale and highly technical in software and hardware. Samsung can not keep up.
Samsung must still be held responsible for damages caused by violating Apple's IP and copying.
An injunction on their infringing devices may finally make Samsung stop their copycat practices.
And then what? Apple are in a pretty unpleasant position here : Samsung's control of the lower-end phones gives them a strong footing and lets them grow mindshare, and over time Samsung have started to cannibalize Apple's sales with higher-quality devices (the people that could only just afford an iPhone can now opt for a cheaper Samsung device). It's incredibly unfair if Samsung slavishly copy Apple, but ultimately there isn't much Apple can do about it - just look at how long all these court cases take to get anywhere and how ineffective the results are.
Unless Apple takes the fight to Samsung with cheaper devices, they're stuck defending their share of premium smartphone sales in an increasingly competitive environment. It's called "disruptive innovation" - there's a great article on it here:
In industry after industry, Christensen discovered, the new technologies that had brought the big, established companies to their knees weren’t better or more advanced—they were actually worse. The new products were low-end, dumb, shoddy, and in almost every way inferior. But the new products were usually cheaper and easier to use, and so people or companies who were not rich or sophisticated enough for the old ones started buying the new ones, and there were so many more of the regular people than there were of the rich, sophisticated people that the companies making the new products prospered.
Gee, I wonder which company's products that sounds like...
There's a lengthier piece about it at http://www.princetongrowth.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Christensen-interview.RTM_.pdf . Page 5 is particularly interesting - it discusses how Intel brought out the Celeron processor range simply to defend against low-margin competitors and were all the stronger for it in the end. They saw the move into the low-end market not as a way to make money, but as a way to protect their existing incomes and cripple rivals.
On an unrelated note, the title of this article is actually quite interesting. I wonder what the secondary effects on carriers and retailers of a ban is?
"Samsung on Thursday argued against an Apple-sought permanent injunction, saying such an order could have long-lasting repercussions for the Korean tech giant. "
Well, they should have thought of that before they used their inside knowledge of being a supplier to Apple to copy their customer's patented intellectual property!
Samsung are completely in the wrong here, but they are cynically playing the system and spending huge amounts on PR and marketing, attacks on the impartiality of judges, and misleading and often completely misleading press statements to make Apple look like the bad guy through persistent badmouthing in social media and elsewhere.
The individuals behind this persistent undermining of the rights of the inventor and of creative people generally clearly have some serious psychological personal issues to deal with.
The judge already ruled against the injunction. This is an appeal. This is how ScamScum operates. Rather than pay for engineers to innovate, they just copy and pay for lawyers instead. They know that it takes years of litigation, and know that in all likelihood, the penalties plus the legal fees will be dwarfed by the profits. And in many cases, there will be no penalty, but just a slap on the wrist. By the time a case is closed, the product will be obsolete, and an injunction against it will be meaningless. They laugh at our inability to defend intellectual property, laughing all the way to the bank. They do it in every sector of their business. People support this behavior by buying their products are dupes.
Pawn shop: we realized these are stolen stuffs, but an injunction against selling them would create fear and uncertainty. All the pawn shop will have to be out of business.
"Samsung on Thursday argued against an Apple-sought permanent injunction, saying such an order could have long-lasting repercussions for the Korean tech giant."
Oh please go ahead & grant it. It's about time someone made an example out of them, to teach them & others a lesson they will not forget, ever.
Samsung should be reduced to being a bit part player, in that they are only allowed to supply parts for others, & not compete in these electronics markets. It seems time & again they have been untrustworthy, stealing others IP & parts technologies etc, when manufacturing parts on behalf of others, then using this gained knowledge to gain unfair advantages in those electronics markets. Let alone the outright copying of designs & styling.
If you can't do the time, don't commit the crime. As they say.
It would also benefit the other, more decent & honest manufacturers, a chance of regaining their market share & profits. This should also benefit for consumers too, resulting in a more vibrant varied range of products from different manufacturers again, as things used to be.

Korea "loves" Apple (I should say "loves to imitate") ... including North Korea !

GTR, that was awesome! I did not realize the headphones and Maps annotations had been copied until now. Thanks!!

The law applies to everybody - Samsung included.
Why is this an acceptable comment here?
Don't respond to trolls, flag and report them immediately.
It’s basically just Marvin around these days. Melgross and mkrishnan pop up occasionally.
Mel sure was active yesterday tho.
Rather, it’s now complaining that no one wants it to become Batman.
