Great artists steal.
Samsung and Apple are battling it out in court right now and it’s bringing out a level of fanboy-ism I’ve never seen anywhere else but politics. People are making their way onto forums, blogs and tech sites desperate to find someone to argue with.
Last week Apple produced an internal Samsung document detailing everything that Samsung had decided to copy. It was page after page after page, 132 pages to be exact, of Samsung comparing it’s phone with the iPhone and discussing what they can do and the changes they can make to make their phone more like the iphone.

And people are arguing that Samsung never copied Apple.
It is seriously really bad, and it is driving me nuts. I don’t understand how Samsung can have hundreds of pages of internal documents detailing how they decided to copy Apple, and people still stick up for them! Bad news for Samsung, later in the week get another document was produced showing that Samsung was dead set on copying the iPhone. [link]
But this kind of thing isn’t new for Samsung, they have been copying electronics manufactures for years! You only have to think back five years to recall when Samsung was blatantly ripping off BlackBerry with its own “blackjack” phone.

and we’re supposed to be surprised ? and really care? After all For the last 50 years at least that is exactly what all asian countries have been doing. Taking things Americans , or others have designed, and copying them. Then mass marketing the products at vastly reduced prices.Of course it is The way of the world, If you go back in History, you will find that Harley Copied almost identically Indian motorcycles, Today Honda Copies Harley, then Harley sues Honda and all other motorcycles to patent “their” sound…… they lose in court, because they copied their V-twin and it’s sound from Indian to begin with. There used to be american made TV’s untill they were all copied and mass produced by Japan, and then sold back to us…… and the Automakers do it too. Where is the news, or surprise ? Nothing has changed.
