RE[8]: The real tribute...

> Most, like Samsung, create me-too products. Less risky, but also more boring.

Your opinion is not fact. Apple has lost most court cases, so not even the courts are with you on that one. That's where the error in your thinking lies.

Court cases aren't about if someone did or didn't do something, but if what they did is illegal and can this be proven beyond reasonable doubt.

Samsung had loads of documents where they planned on making their products look more like Apple's, even Google objected to this. Anyone can see where Samsung got their inspiration, but the question is if it's illegal or not.

I guess it's that time of the year when you can't say what a jerk he was.

I'll give you an example of the disingenuous nature of Apple's "me-too" claims.

They showed a picture of iPhone with rows and columns of pretty icons. This is the home screen of the iPhone.

Then they showed a picture of a Samsung App-drawer, so it looked more like the Apple home screen.

Ooh, it's a me-too thing! But the sameless part is that this cute rows and columns of icons - it's the Palm home screen! That goes back to the 90's.

Shameless!

You're twisting the truth again. The document did not state "make it look like iPhone". It said "this is where the iPhone look better. Here's some suggestions for making our product better".

You'd think Apple's lawyers would follow up with a document stating which of these suggestions were implemented. For some curious reason, they did not - and neither has anyone else. So, we actually don't know how much of the suggestions were *actually* implemented. Maybe none, maybe all, but probably, somewhere in between. And then, we need to know how many of the implemented suggestions actually copied the iPhone, and how many were different.

And you're doing it again, getting away from the original discussion.

You don't reply to my statements and arguments, instead singling out a single word (Samsung) and trying to suggest it's theoreticly possible Samsung didn't copy Apple.

The THEFT of ideas Picasso and Steve Jobs were talking about has NOTHING to do with the COPY of design, functions and appearance!
During his lead, Apple never copied a product of a competing Company the way Samsung (clearly) did.
