Well apparently not everyone since it amazes me some people support the bully and buys their products. Still who can like them at all now after reading this http://www.androidpo...gainst-samsung/
iDevices are a go-to line of products for people who want to buy a computer/smartphone/tablet/media player and don't know anything about them - that's how Apple's advertisements are designed, haven't you noticed? They present their products as "hip" and "cool", showing features everybody's seen before in such a light that they seem brand-new and innovative. The advert that makes me facepalm every single time is the iPhone 4S's camera ad.

Yep, an 8 megapixel camera with poor optics is truly the only camera anyone will ever need. Now, this ad is screened in Poland to this day and it makes me cringe. How can they imply that a phone can be a replacement of an actual digital camera is beyond me.

Samsung accepts your challenge.

:P


EDIT: It seems the Galaxy Camera one can't make phone calls natively. So here's another one:

All of us normal sane human beings are sick of it but since crapple aren't going to stop bullying everyone until they have control over everything on earth it's something that has to be said.

Just thought I might post this just because it's neat and the camera kinda looks like a cell phone.

Seems like apple just easily get attention easy for every lawsuit because they are such a big company with both huge number of haters and fans.

Not that I want to be cought in a "Samsung vs. Apple" argument, but do note that "Galaxy Cameras" actually do have camera optics and a camera-like build. The iPhone has a plain-old smartphone camera. :P

I think most of the problem is the fucking near religious fervour with which the Apple fans greet every announcement from the Secret Undersea Volcano Headquarters.
It's beyond retarded and really quite scary. None of the other fanboys (Sony, Micro$oft or Nintendo for example) come close.

Apple is becoming a cult.

Why is this lawsuit relevant to anything? It's not like Apple is saying they invented the clock design. They'll likely just pay for the rights to use it, or settle. It's not realyl a big deal.

Calm the fuck down, guys

It's relevant because they're suing for "design patents" while they themselves infringe on "design patents".

All in all I find "design patents" to be a complete utter joke though, they should never have been granted.

I agree, they are a joke. I think software patents in general shouldn't be granted.
But still, I'd see why it's relevant if it were another software company, but this will likely have no outcome that's substantial.

Normally I would roll my eyes and tell SBB to get over it, but since this is Apple, I say serves them right if they get in trouble over this, considering how much time they've spent suing other companies over even more ridiculous things.

Kinda like apple haters are becoming cult. You guys are on apple like flies on shit. I'm an apple fanboy and I don't even care as much as you people do. And fyi. Pretty much the whole financial world awaits for apple announcements not just fanboys'

Infact I get most of my news from this site's attention to apple details. I'm waiting for anti apple songs to be composed. Maybe an anti apple uniform and maybe a burning basket of apples in my lawn.

I think both sides need to chill. The whole "apple is a cult" is as ridiculous as accusing fanboys/anti-fanboys of ANY product/company of being like a cult (and I'm speaking as an anti-Apple Android fanboy myself). The things listed in that supposed "study" on Apple as a cult (which I find to be completely ridiculous) are things that can be true of ANY community of fanboys, regardless what they're fanboys of.

In other words, stop it. You're all just making yourselves look like idiots.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
