Wow! .... Btw, I do have a negative thing about Apple I didn't mention earlier. I have a 2008 (4 years old) MacBook (white unibody polycarbonate discontinued non pro core2 duo MacBook) which was recently updated to mountain lion 10.8.1 without a hitch, and works just as well, tho a little slow. I badly want to buy the new MBA to replace this and trying to find excuses ... But I found none to convince my CO. Yes, I am a little frustrated that the MacBook last so long and worked so well that I can't find an excuse to buy a new one. This is probably the only negative thing I have about Apple. Well, at least I found something bad about it. Otherwise I probably stick out like a sore thumb and wonder what I'm missing when everyone is convinced otherwise.
WOW real humbugology like saying "The only bad thing about it is that it is sooooooo goooood".
perhaps milez is working for Apple :bsmilie:
I stand corrected on that particular patent. Whether the US patent system is broken is another conversation that I'm not qualified to comment on. Most rational people would agree that it's been abused beyond belief, but If your company operates within that domain then you'll have to play by the rules (however unfair). Apple is not the only tech company suing others. It's certainly not the only tech company to buy patents to protect their business (that's why all the lawsuits flying around the globe now).
The fact of the matter is if you look at the evidence being presented, you'll be hard pressed not to be convinced that Samsung as a company exhibits a long running pattern of copying other people's designs. Before the iPhone in 2007, their smartphones looked like Palm Treo's, then blackberry & then finally like iPhones. You may argue that the simple rectangle with rounded corner thing is very generic, but they didn't do that before the iPhone became hugely popular.
Samsung before iPhone
Samsung after iPhone
Even more damning is the internal emails that revealed during the trial between Samsung & her partners. Some of it came from Google, specifically asking them to back off from Apple like designs, but they didn't. Why didn't Apple go after Amazon for the hugely popular kindle fire? Or Sony with their gorgeous Experia series of phones? It's because these companies took their n effort to differentiate the products both interns of hardware design & software interfaces. At the heart of the lawsuit is not simply a question of Samsun violating obscure Apple patents because there was no other way to design a phone. Its because Samsung just blatantly ripped off Apple designs safe for minor tweaks to make them look not exact copies. Just take a look at the article linked in the first post!
Hahaha ! i wish i am. Then i'll probably keep my mouth shut, as with all Apple employees.
Perhaps the rest are working for Google or Samsung? ... nahhh... i wont stoop that lo....
nuff said... i gave my testimony, nobody wanted to give their bad ones.... rest my case.
.... and one more thing. I didnt want to bring up this earlier, but ... my close friend from KL got the SIII , and in 2 weeks had a fried mainboard.... found a long queue in Sammy's service centre with many having the same issue. Anyway, i still think its nothing but usual QC issue. I dont blame Sammy.... Cest la vie.
At least i learn from here that prejudice is from within,.... nothing to do with what is the reality .... so, hasta la vista baby.

This is so obvious that Samsuck is riding the success with its copycat from iphone..Samsuck fans can choose to ignore this fact because samsuck provides them a cheaper alternative to iphone :bsmilie: At least apple pays for licensing.. whereas samsuck copies with minor adjustments....

He's an Apple Fan. Quite a few of them think the evening of the 12th in the USA means 11th/early morning 12th here in SG. As if the iPhone can break Physics and warp space and time. I actually know 6 others who think the "launch" is tonight.
