Just be clear: Large 720p screen, curved design, stylus are all characteristic iPhone features on which Apple spent years getting it right and then Samsung copied? Because these are the devices that are being sued here.

I'm not sure whether they are losing goodwill. Apple has extremely loyal customers and fans that will keep supporting them.

Have you seen the Galaxy S3 lockscreen? There is not an image that moves. They had to remove the visual feedback which is an obvious addition to Nenode's slide to unlock. But apparently it is still not enough for Apple.

"It seems easy to workaround by requiring a swipe but not moving the image until the end of the swipe or requiring a pattern of taps." So nobody should add visual feedback during the unlock operation, because someone did it first and patent

I do get your point. But unfortunately that's the way the world works. Those who have patents bully others and make money of them. Microsoft is playing by the rules. I still don't think there is any point in blaming them for the lack of suc

I think there are better words you can use to make your point. Also note that Microsoft failed to stop Android even though they have been bullying all Android manufacturers too with their patent portfolio. The reason Desktop Linux never bec

Based on that logic, Android manufacturers can simply move to Intel processors and repatent all UI interactions for x86.

Ubuntu has already been touch-optimizing Unity for a long time. Ubuntu (actually the credit should go to Gnome and GTK for smooth scrolling, and Linux kernel for touch drivers) now perfectly supports smooth touch scrolling along with certai

Gapps (Google Apps) are just a bunch of closed-source and non-free applications. They are not a part of the operating system and they are not required for the operating system to work. Just like you can use Ubuntu without Ubuntu One, you ca

I get your point. But at least us, as people who understand retina simply means "high enough PPI", should not argue about whether a particular display qualifies as retina or not. Because it is subjective to decide how much PPI is enough for

by esolyt 14y ago
I don't have a problem with Apple inventing a term for "high enough PPI". In fact, we probably needed such a term to raise awareness about the importance of PPI. I think the problem is, Apple has the monopoly for using the term retina (they

That's exactly what I meant. A camera doesn't NEED apps, but it would be useful to have the ability. I would definitely use Instagram and Dropbox Camera Upload with this device.

"The pure camera manufacturers will be playing catch-up forever" Why? Nothing stops other camera manufacturers from using Android in their products.

by esolyt 14y ago
There are smartphones, tablets, netbooks, watches, ski goggles running Android. It is interesting to consider Android as a "phone OS". Sure, your camera doesn't need apps. Neither does your phone. But just because it's not necessary, doesn'

Isn't there anything to prevent them from abusing their power? Do they literally have the right to remove every single video with a single click?

Apparently there is also another FACT. It is the fact that Apple bothers with you even if you are a small company. You claimed that the idea of this happening is ridiculous. Yet, they just showed you an example of this happening. I'm having

"Jurors are free to ignore them, and should ignore them when justice requires it." And justice required them to use the courts to "send a message" and punish Samsung with more than "just a slap on the wrist"?

In terms of software, I agree. iOS was revolutionary. In terms of hardware, I disagree. None of the hardware on Apple devices have been invented. The fact that they are specifically produced for Apple doesn't mean they were invented. We can

Actually the comment had a purpose and was trying to raise awareness. The fact that it made you angry perhaps shows that it worked? Perhaps it might make you reconsider your opinions about your favorite company.

I am yet to see a male claiming Galaxy Note (5.3-inch screen) does not fit in his pocket. By the way, I am assuming you're a man because women don't carry their phones in their pocket.

Yes, they pick up hardware and put them together. Why do you consider this as an insult to Apple? I don't think anybody implied what they are doing is easy. Obviously it isn't. If it were, anybody would easily be able to create a great prod

Well, you can read the same quote from CNET if Groklaw is the issue. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57500358-37/exclusive-appl... I hope you don't consider CNET biased. If anything, they are usually criticized for being Apple-biased.
