    I hope there are more. Those three paragraphs were much more informative about current technology than the entire article about Samsung.

    "it's like watching Honey-booboo fight with the cast from Duck Dynasty. "

    OMG!  I think you're on to something there.

    No, much of their marketing spending ends up in the hands of retailers or consumers as rebates, promotion, spiff, etc, etc, not ads. 

    Sure, everyone, including Apple copies shamelessly.  That's what everyone does in this business.

    What has Apple shamelessly copy? Inspiration != copying.

    Seems like someone of your ilk might be interested in all the CES news this week, for example.  But I haven't seem any of your insights about that posted.

     

    Yet here you are, in a Samsung thread of debatable relevance.  And your posting history indicates the last time you took this much active interest in any AI thread was months ago in... wait for it... another Samsung thread.

     

    In short, I'm not seeing any correlation between what you claim with your words, and what you actually do.

    Cherry picking from my comments is fun and all so I'll summarize it.   I mainly lurk on this site to gather insight from products I don't own but am interested in. I read most of the articles on here whether they are about Apple, Samsung or some other tech company.  I don't comment on here often as I tend to comment on other sites like where I feel the level of discussion is more civil and open (not trying to instigate, it is just my opinion).  I also like viewing news from different perspectives so I jump to websites to see how it is being reported because it allows me to get a broader understanding of it.  Same goes for the comment sections.  For the record, I'm not a fan of Samsung phones so I have no horse in that race. Had the S1 and never looked back (not a fan of TouchWiz)

    Probably because the "Apple zealots" as you call them, can't be bothered going to Android centric sites, so those spoiling for a fight have to come here.

     

    In a world dominated by sites which Google indirectly pays for via their advertising, it's refreshing to have an alternative view of the "truth"..

    Wrong.

     

    People come here for well researched articles exposing the truth, not some Google inspired fantasy espoused by those who base their earnings on Google advertising dollars, backed up by astroturfing commenters paid by Samsung and others.

     

    Why does Apple dominate CES, even though they aren't even there?

     

    The ecosystem, the ecosystem supporting third parties.

    The same arguments and allegations can be made about a lot of other companies.  They are not the first, nor are they the last.  Samsung is just the current target of this website and that's okay.  AIs job is to generate views/revenue from advertising and they know how to do it well.


     

    Why don't you support your argument with examples.

    Anything to lessen creepy Google's grip on computing is a good thing.

     

    "Free and open" my arse.

    Where would Apple get all those touch screens, memory chips and CPUs from then?

    Don't kid yourself, there's plenty of pro-Apple people on Android sites.

    Rumors are Samsung is launching a round watch running Tizen at MWC. Of course that means Apple and ?Watch is doomed.
