Even Samsung’s Lawyers Can’t Tell the Difference Between Its Tablet and an iPad

[QUOTE=Cone;32782219]Well if they look so obviously different, why does that mean he didn't do his research? If anything, that's further support for bad eyes.[/QUOTE]He didn't even at the very least look at pictures of them first :downs:

[QUOTE=thisispain;32782344]they're both dickheads.

what i am saying is even if there was any violation of anything if it involves apple people will automatically assume a position on the matter regardless of what anyone says.

i'm just glad we have courts that deal with this bullshit.[/QUOTE]

what are samsung doing that is equally bad? I dunno, they might be being idiots about it and I just haven't done my research but I haven't heard anything that made me go "oh wow that's shitty good one guys" as much as apple are

I guess what you're saying is true though, there are reasons to dislike apple but people don't always cite the right ones which is dumb

samsung actually put in litigation first against apple in tens of patents, it's just not reported because no-one really gives a shit about what samsung does.

however, because of apple hate or love any apple news becomes instant controversy which generates plenty ad revenue and news views.

basically everyone's winning except the consumer, so applause and going "YAY FUCK APPLE" is just dumb.

sorry if i'm putting a downer on everyone's circle jerk.

the difference is that Apple stands for western materialism and the manufacture of brands rather than products, whereas samsung is just another massive asian 'culturally-neutral' (some academics disagree but fuck them it's closer than apple) conglomerate

they did? that certainly changes things

I guess I won't take sides in this argument until I understand properly what was going on

do you have a source for samsung suing first?

Okay. And? That doesn't mean he didn't have bad eyes. It's a stressful situation, he said he couldn't tell the difference from a distance. Why does that mean they're carbon copies? They're both rectangles. That's it.

Why can't they just have healthy competition..

Why can't they just make circular tablets? :(

[QUOTE=DeanWinchester;32784981]Why can't they just make circular tablets? :([/QUOTE]It just doesn't work I guess

same reason we don't have circular TVs

[Antdawg]

Well to be fair, both those tablets do look similar aside from the width.

Why not have pear shaped tablets?

That's going to have to be considered when the Tegra 3/Kal El tablets come out so they don't infringe on Apple's patents.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;32781497]I don't get this patent. Did they patent round corners? Rectangles? Touchscreens on rectangles?[/QUOTE]

Everything. Yes, even rectangles. They will sue for rectangles.

Here's a nice quote from Reddit:

"On the next court date the lawyers should bring two flat screen TV's with their logos removed and ask a judge to correctly identify them.
What a ridiculous "gotcha" tactic. The design of tablets is not novel. They will all have the same basic form factor."

Samsung's lawyers had been flinging litigations Apple's way before, and Apple's lawyers do it right back.

It's just lawyer back and forth which is all too common in business. But because it's Apple everyone makes a big fucking deal about it.

I really don't see how you could confuse the two, considering one is HALF THE SIZE of the other

Honestly when they're put next to each other, I would actually think it would HELP Samsung's argument. They look radically different by electronic device standards.

It wouldn't because apple has magic pictures that makes everything equal size and forces all android devices into their app drawers to mimic iOS.

[editline]15th October 2011[/editline]

In other words, it wouldn't because fuck apple.

[shian]

Google should just update the apple drawer and change it, it would be hilarious to see apple finding more ways to fight back

so where's the source for samsung's first potshots at apple

I mean, I believe you guys, but it'd be nice if I could find an article or something because google only wants to give me stuff about apple suing samsung and them counter-suing

the thing about apple's suits is that they're all based on ridiculous things that shouldn't even be patentable, and I want to know if samsung's earlier suits were also based on insane things like [url=http://thisismynext.com/2011/06/22/apple-granted-patent-webpage-scrolling-behaviors-media-crazy]scrolling behaviours[/url] and shit like that
