Wait, just let me take out a patent on that first... damn, too late :dozey:

Sorry, you used the word patent in your post, and that is patented by Apple.

SUED!

Another one of these unfunny, unoriginal troll attempts by Android fanboys against the great, ultra innovative Apple corporation:

These should be banned immediately and the user and the website showing it, SUED, because they have the word Apple in it. I shall be forwarding this to Apple straight away, so that Apple can sue the Photoshop artist who wasted his time making this, on the grounds of defamation.

Also, as far as i am aware Apple are not saying they invented anything, just the look of the Samsung phones and the way they imitate various aspects of the IPhone,as mentioned above.

How would you feel if you wrote a song, which didnt sell, and then someone else recorded it and had a huge hit, but didnt share any of the money they earned from it or even aknowledged you are the origianl writer. Different situation but same concept.

Where there a hit theres a writ.

You know. i own a Samsung TV, a LE40R89. Guess what! It got a rectangular shape with rounded corners.

Just spotted your post after a rather busy day and that probably answers this particular question. No I am not. ;)

You (henners) are typical of the ignorant masses who were selected for jury duty and either through ignorance or being paid off (I hope they were paid off because I'd hate for anyone to be quite this stupid), come to ridiculous decisions like this one.

---

That's about as far as I got and thanks for the classy insults. By not 'really posting here anymore' you have made the experience here a lot more enjoyable IMO. I don't mean that as as insult, but as an honest opinion based on an observation over the past year. Perhaps you could remain with the likes of Saint Devote, and tamburello who also both fled when their inability to accept varied opinions and debate sensibly ceased to exist.

:wave:

Black eh? Ooh nice!

PS can we all calm down. I've had to delete some posts. It's only phones!

Bruce Willis suing Apple to control his iTunes collection

According to reports, he's planning to take them to court for the right to leave his extensive music collection to his children. When you "buy" a track, book or movie from iTunes, you don't actually "buy" it — you merely lease the rights to view or listen to it.

Why on earth would he want to leave behind poor quality compressed digital music files to his kids?

Stupid bald actor. Who does he think he is? Just because he paid for those songs, he thinks he can own them?!?! Pfft!

If I was still against Apple, I would have said Bruce Willis is my hero, but no more. Screw you Bruce!

I hope Apple countersues Bruce for suing them, and get a patent for suing, so anybody who sues anybody in the future, will get sued by Apple.

Bruce's head is also kinda rounded. There you go, another patent infringement.

Go Apple!

What joke dude? I thought getting into the Apple fanclub would be easier than this.

Anyway, as for the pics you requested, I heard our favorite company is suing these companies after Samsung:

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net...51134_700b.jpg

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net...15628_700b.jpg

Probably not the second one though, as there aren't enough pirates and their sales aren't really hurting Apple's.

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net...01497_700b.jpg

YES!

Watch out Bridgestone and Pirelli.

LOL. I love Apple. :)

Too late buddy. I gave it away in charity. I was getting unnecessarily spoiled by 90 GB of storage. Waiting for the iPhone 5 now. But if that corrupt and evil company, Samsung, sues Apple for LTE, then the ultra brilliant iCloud will be pretty much rendered useless. Genuinely worried, fingers crossed for Apple. :(

No, it looks like the iPhone, especially since the radii of the right rounded corner only differs by 0.00006 mm from the iPhone design. Those 1 year old brats don't deserve to enjoy an Apple rip-off. Besides Samsung isn't interested in suing other companies and making money that way. Stupid business sense. This is why they are not Apple.

About that there is NO doubt whatsoever. In fact, HTC escaped getting sued only because their corners were slightly more rounded. But don't worry, we'll get those *******s next time.

---

Yeah, and so were rectangular shaped objects with curved corners used since the stone ages, but Apple innovated a way to get a patent for that. Never say never with Apple, and the brilliant, unselfish, innovative folks that work for them. :)

Like I said before, Motorola will be kicking themselves just WHY they didn't patent the flip phone. I'm sure a US court would have ruled in their favor. Imagine getting $1 billion from virtually EVERY phone company on earth! Stupid, stupid company.

Bruce Willis is fine but everyone knows there's only one man who can stop Apple now... Yeah, that's right! It's time time for Chuck Norris to step in and stop this nonsense.

Whoa dude, didn't read all of that, because the first two lines somehow gave me a feeling of deja vu that I've read the same thing a million times before.

Seriously, I agree. Why don't people just remain happy with what they have bought and not reply to criticisms? I mean there are a thousand other threads on this forum for a good finger workout, right?

I also particularly love the forum nannies, or the self appointed moderators, who don't have much to say on topic, but have time enough to come and post their displeasure about how and where the discussion is going. It's not annoying at all. :)

---

Doesn't matter. Motorola was the one who invented the first ever flip phone.

Motorola StarTAC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rest of them, including Ericsson, Nokia and a hundred others simply copied the design.

Motorola didn't sue anybody though. Imagine if they had. It would have a trillion dollars from patent infringement cases alone.

Like I said, what a stupid company. :rolleyes:

It seems that only Chuck Norris can sue Apple and win the case :mad:

I haven't insulted you or broken any forum rules and the fact you keep replying to me suggests you have just as much time on your hands to respond and repeat the same thing over and over. Thats right, you are not the only person who has a case of déjà vu. It doesn't bother me though.

If you are annoyed by me contributing to this thread and it is affecting the overall experience for you, you have the same option as every other poster here and that is to add me to you 'ignore list'. Thats not me advising you as a 'self appointed mod' but more as a poster who has the same exact options as yourself. I sense it is getting that way for both of us, and I'm sure by now you have a rather tainted view of me stemming from this thread. We could applaud Hamilton and McLaren until the cows come home, but there will always be that bitter taste from this experience I'm sure. Hell, we could also be S3 owners side by side in a couple of weeks, but this discussion will always be there. Most posters on this board have run a mile from this thread and the tablet thread because they are most likely bored of the same old dross being covered. Apologies to them, I'm as guilty as anybody.

Its up to you Captain, we could agree to disagree and stop questioning each other, or just stay out of each others way on this forum. What do you say old bean? :)

Samsung are suing Apple now for yet another petty infringement yet you Android/Windows 'fanboys' are just intent on embarrassing yourselves here with ill thought out posts going over the same old drivel.

Relax and enjoy what you've bought.

---

Woah there man, calm down. We all know from the smartphones thread that you would willingly pay 350£ for an iPhone 5 + 25-30£/ month for the contract, so I think we all know who's the big fanboy around here.
So what about you just let others express their opinion, even if they are not Apple fanboys?

What is the topic again :confused: :p : :crazy:

Could the two sides summarise their argument in one sentence (no pictures)?

I'm chuckling about this lawsuit. Apple is gaining an edge through the courts and the odds were stacked against Samsung from the start. The jury should've been replaced with monkeys because they could have at least discussed the intricacies of what was at hand, rather than arbitrarily try and hand over Apple some cash.

Jobs is dead and now we all know what his last wish was before he croaked. Sorry, Steve. This world is for the living and Apple is biting off more than it can chew. Bring on the appeal!!

Just a note to everyone :

From now on all off-topic or personal comments will be punished with a month ban !

Thankfully the Cardiff one is not like that. They do approach you and ask if you need any help as any shop assistant does but the hard sell is absent. They certainly know the products well and the staff are not American. It might be because the Cardiff store is so busy, its difficult to get round to everyone. I suppose my only gripe is how busy it gets. :) .

Closed and no more Apple vs Samsung threads will be allowed !
