> Since lying and cheating are pervasive ethics at Samsung (see: recent benchmarking results) Oh come on, this is silly. You don't think Apple manipulate benchmarks and statistics? Or deny product faults and quietly settle years later e.g. iPhone 4 Antenna? Or how about e-book price fixing?!! It's ridiculous that people always assume foreign companies lie, cheat and steal, whereas homegrown companies are more kosher than a rabbi. The same thing happens in sport and politics of course. I guess humans just can't lose that tribal mentality.

With the exception of Apple and Motorola, literally every single OEM we’ve worked with ships (or has shipped) at least one device that runs this silly CPU optimization.

At least you are in full agreement that lying and cheating are pervasive ethics at Samsung.

> deny product faults and quietly settle years later e.g. iPhone 4 Antenna Didn't they hold an entire press conference, invite everyone and say (essentially) "we don't think there's a problem; most phones have similar issues; to anyone complaining, we're offering free iPhone cases" ? That doesn't sound like "quietly settling" to me.

  The very same iPhone 4 has been sold for 28 months, up until two weeks ago. I'm sure there are dozens of millions of users that can't make a phone call because of the antenna problem. I wonder why they don't complain.

Not at all, atleast about Samsung. I would go ahead say that Samsung is the most unethical[1] company. Wikipedia list is only tip of the iceberg, that company's history is littered with unethical[2] behavior. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung#Controversies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung#Controversies 2. http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/30/3709688/samsung-25-years-lee-kun-hee http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/30/3709688/samsung-25-years-...
