Poor Gruber. Your favorite director's movie used against your favorite company. It's impossible to post a serious comment to a case that is already absurd.

  It would be funnier if Samsung cited Barry Lyndon.

    The battle scenes therein certainly remind me of the forthcoming patent wars- all the major players just walking towards each other shooting at will. War doesn't determine who is right, only who is left.

  Never underestimate doublethink.

  Now all he needs is a correlation to the Yankees and he'll have covered all his favorites in a single post.

  Gruber has already linked to it, and his post is rather humorous: Odds that I would link to this: 100 percent.

  Speaking of serious comments: It used to be possible to have a submission related to Apple on Hacker News wherein the top comment was something other than shitting on John Gruber.

    I don't even know who John Gruber is.

      I bet you'd recognize his website if you saw it though

        This is distressingly true, I recognised Daring Fireball and its layout, and the general slant of the articles long before I could recognise the name John Gruber. I'm sure there's some poignant comment to be made based on this, about how some people consume content online.

      I believe he was the villain in Die Hard. The actor was the same guy who played Dumbledore in Twilight.

    It will possible again once John Gruber's shitty blog stops shitting up the front page.

    It also used to be possible to have a submission related to Apple on HN wherein the top comment was something other than Gruber-style fanboyism. So it all balances out in the end.
