Yes, clearly we should cater to those who can't read.
The only people who will be crying are Apple fans when Android reaches 70% marketshare next year.
There's surveys from BB customers stating that people returned Samsung tablets thinking it was an iPad. In any case, that's not the sole reason why Apple was awarded $1B. Android fans will continue to cry till the cows come home though that it was all about rectangles, general public being stupid or that everyone is biased. Forget the mountains of documents and internal memos at Samsung HQ stating their intention of copying the iPhone.
I thought there were some internal correspondence between employees where one told the other that they thought the design was biting off of iphone too much. I didn't know that there were memos that expressly state that they wanted to rip off the iphone.

Well, they returned it and bought an iPad and they are what 0.00000000001%? You think the average American is that dumb?
Because Apple was the plaintiff. They had the majority of their case laid out before it was even filed.
So you think we should ban hair dryers and toaster ovens because it's happend that some people tried to use them while taking a bath?Lol at all the "so what" comments. Just because you don't care or think people are too stupid doesn't change the fact that it happened. It also happened enough for those surveys to be publicly released.

Yes there were detailed internal documents with instructions on copying the iPhone step by step. Even down to copying the sound of the iPhones selection spinner.
Android has a bigger market share now. Do I care? No. What I care about is if the device I want is available for purchase.
Samsung is a multinational company
It employs more Americans than Apple and sponsors many events across the globe, unlike Apple which just sits on a huge pile of cash and use it to sue its competitors.
Moreover, the myth that Asians are less creative is a myth, since the Windows Mobile OS was designed by a Korean American and Asian Americans produce better patents and scientific researches than White Americans.
copying =/= infringing patents
if you don't understand that, you're as dumb as the members of the jury who ignored prior art and other obvious things.
Samsung is a Korean company through and through. Look at their board of directors. All Koreans. Conservative too. Stereotypes usually have some truth. Asians are known for making incremential steps, not revolutionary steps. As for your other opinion, I'll just let you sit in your own excrement.
That's absurd, because without Asians there would be no Sillicon Valley. What's more absurd is to compare developing countries with industrialized countries and claim to be more creative. Why don't you back your claims with statistics instead of copying and pasting things you've read on blogs?
Of course there would be a Silicon Valley without Asians. SV was created 60+ years ago. Of course, Asians have contributed immensely but I seriously doubt they have been the revolutionary types. They usually make things better. We don't need to go to Silicon Valley to see that. Just come to Japan, the most advanced economy in Asia, arguably the world. However, the Japanese here are good for making things better that were discovered or invented elsewhere. It's a cultural thing. Americans are all about the big idea. Asians are about continuous improvements. Anyway, Samsung comes from that culture. They have never discovered anything significant and they were never original inventors. Nothing to be ashamed of. It's just what it is. And it can be a good thing because I rather have a refined product than the original.
However, wrt this trial, Samsung should not lie about inventing Apple innovations or deny copying Apple innovations. They should have settled early on and acknowledged Apple as the leader in this industry (NOT Samsung) and paid accordingly if they are going to borrow.
Asians are known for making incremential steps, not revolutionary steps.
1/3 of all engineers in Silicon Valley and Indians, so I guess around 2/3 of them are Asians, since there are more Chinese scientists and engineers than Indian scientists and engineers.
75% of all new PHD candidates in science are foreign born right now.
Heh. You say that as you exhibit every one of those traits, with a little racism tossed in on top of it. Hypocrite.Damn, the anti-Apple people in this thread are the very thing they accuse Apple and their customers of being: demeaning, arrogant, smug know-it-alls.
The CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray were invented in Japan, just saying.
Apple is known for making incremential steps, not revolutionary steps.
How do you figure that? The Galaxy S is a better phone than the iPhone 3GS and 4, Galaxy S2 is a better phone than the 4S, and the Galaxy S3 is completely peerless right now and it is quite unlikely that the iPhone 5 will even match it let alone eclipse it. That's just in terms of product quality. I will grant that I consider the flagship iPad to be the nicest tablet on the market however. If you go into sales Samsung is crushing Apple right now. So Samsung is the one that can't compete? Samsung didn't sue Apple first.
