    Is that the same Samsung who used delaying tactics through the courts, appealing every decision and only started acting after a movie they tried their hardest to ban started lifting off the rose coloured glasses of the South Korean people?

    Please, tel me who is appealing from the last judge decision?
    Read my lips!

    Park Ji-yeon was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2007, she died in 2010, Samsung denied any responsibility.

     

    Seven years later they are finally paying out.

     

    Delaying tactics.

    I predict that the peoples over 40 years will have interest to bear such health wearable. 

    Personally, I'll buy the first to be placed on the market, especially if it is Samsung that manufacture it since I am very pleased with their products.

    This is really unfortunate these workers of Samsung died of cancer. Samsung has recognised its responsibility, they immediately took the necessary steps and this situation will not happen again. Families will receive millions of dollars, but it is very sad.

    Samsung has developed on the S5 galaxy a Stress Analyzer that could save hundreds of workers in subcontracting currently for Apple. We know the unfortunate story of stress that drove hundreds of workers of the subcontractor for Apple plants to death.

    The less could Apple do, would be to provide all workers of its subcontractors a S5 Galaxy knowing that this advanced technology can save their life.

    How the **** is this lying, paid, dumb-as-bricks, english-illiterate Samsung astrofurfer still allowed to post? Comedy relief? Also, what the **** is he referring to, the gimmick heart rate monitor on the S5? Is this what could save the lives of "hundreds" of Apple subcontractors?

    I did not explain, I agree.

    And your correct, it's not correct to use "right" to say correct.
    Thank you for helping me with my English. Your so kind.

    Ok, that last bit gave up the game.

    The first wearable from Samsung was on the market for more than a year. Samsung has added a few months ago 3 new wearable clearly health-oriented. Apple decided to enter this market and fixed a date of a media event. Samsung decides that he will explain to guidelines of is health-oriented strategies a few days prior to the Apple presentation.
    For now it's just good marketing strategy.

    Apple just bought for three times the value a "cool image" company to "beat" Samsung who is now the COOLEST company in the world (as Tim Cook said). To capture the attention of the press, Apple delays the time to announce the final buying, under false pretense, until Samsung held its event.


    Who is the bad player in this case? Apple, and Apple is the copycat!

    Exactly! Apple went shopping on exactly the same day as Samsung's big event in order to wow the press with all the cool stuff it just bought so no one would notice Samsung trying to change the world! I can't believe no one else can see your point.

    "Apple colluded on e-book prices, judge finds"

    Yeah, Apple's Eddie Cue talked a few times briefly and independently with each of the major publishers during a span of just 2 weeks over the Christmas and New Year's holidays of 2009-2010, and they all separately agreed in that brief time to the same, favorable (to the publishers) terms. How is that different from the same terms Apple entered into with music publishers for the iTunes Store? It's different because Amazon wasn't a competitor in the Internet music business, squeezing the music publishers with its wholesale model. Even judges can make mistakes, particularly when they act alone.

     

    Samsung is one rotten company, buoyed by its corrupt influence on the S. Korean government, not to mention the indemnification by Google of many of Samsung's infringing activities.

    Sadly for Samsung, Apple's patent applications in the health monitoring and smartwatch arenas will start to be published by the US Patent and Trademark Office in just a few weeks, with dates going back 18 months and revealing that Apple has been researching and developing this technology for a great period of time.

    Fortunately for Samsung, those patent applications will describe just what they need to copy! :rolleyes:

    You have commented in this thread TOO MANY times. You are a troll & a tool. Most of us have tolerated your nonsense, but enough. To make light of those Foxconn suicides is just bullshit man. Apple apologised, & further, they investigated, thoroughly. They raised awareness of poor working conditions, & continue to audit worker conditions. You have nothing positive or intelligent to contribute. Until you do, please stop posting here.


     


     


    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


     


     


    The Foxconn suicides occurred between January and November 2010 when eighteen[1] Foxconn employees attempted suicide with fourteen deaths.[1][2][3] The suicides drew media attention, and employment practices at Foxconn, a large contract manufacturer, were investigated by several of its customers including Apple and HP.[4] Foxconn is a major manufacturer that has catered to such companies as AppleDellHPMotorolaNintendoNokia, and Sony.[4]

    The suicides prompted 20 Chinese universities to compile a report on Foxconn, which they described as a labour camp.[2] Other experts have claimed that employees are treated comparatively well at Foxconn,[5] but news reports have been critical. Long working hours,[5] discrimination of mainland Chinese workers by their Taiwanese coworkers,[6] and a lack of working relationships[7] have all been held up as potential problems.

    The suicide rate at Foxconn during the suicide spate remained lower than that of the general Chinese population[8] as well as all 50 states in the United States.[9] Additionally the Foxconn deaths may have been a product of economic conditions external to the company. In China in 2010 there were several major strike actions at other high-profile manufacturers, and the Lewisian turning-point is a macro-economic factor that may provide context for the events.[10]

    In response to the suicides, Foxconn substantially increased wages for its Shenzhen factory workforce,[11] installed suicide-prevention netting,[12] and asked employees to sign no-suicide pledges.[13] Workers were also forced to sign a legally binding document guaranteeing that they and their descendants would not sue the company as a result of unexpected death, self-injury, or suicide.[14]

    I'm not a fan of Samsung anymore then the rest of you, even going so far as purging my entire gadget collection of anything from them but I'm confused here. Samsung has been selling EMR and UDI systems for years now. They have an entire medical division that  produces digital radiography, ultrasound, lab equipment, portable CT scanners, patient database and other medical devices, services. Samsung has been working with hospitals since 1994 when it bought one in SEOL, implementing new systems, developing and testing others. So I really think this is one area in which they are not copying Apple as they already have working systems in hospitals now, this initiative or whatever you call it has probably been in the works for a while now. I have no idea though, until we see the patent info it's anyones guess who was first.

    I think Samsung-bashers do not outweigh the sheer amount of uninformed people here on this site. And that includes me as well.

    Thank you.

    LOL Samsung is like that poster who always posts: "First!". Wants to be the first but has nothing meaningful to share.
