Justice has been served. It was blatantly obvious anyway, only a diehard fan would claim otherwise.

This will be a major hit to S. Korea too. Samsung Group -of which Samsung Electronics makes up about 50% of all its revenues- makes up 20% of S. Korea's economy.
 
Hmmm

Idk pinch to zoom was pretty fucking amazing when the iPhone came out. I can't think of any other device that did that previously. It seems obvious now, but at the time of the iPhone unvieling everyone was pretty impressed with this UI innovation.

That was all in development years prior with capacitive screens. Hell, there was even a big debate with resistive vs capacitive back in the day because of accuracy vs multi-touch.
 
Posting that private message = not cool.

This has been a depressing thread to read through. I'm really curious to see what happens from here.

Meh, who cares what he does. He outed himself a while ago as someone who is just here to stir shit up. Let him have his fun.

At least this is only software and they can still sell the Smart Case.
 
I'm willing to bet the appeals judge will be sympathetic and let the stuff stay on the market but who knows anymore. We had a bunch of suppose intelligent people on the jury that little just stuck their finger up their ass and voted yes to everything to Apple.

Intelligent people = people who agree with you.
 
what is up with all these crazy people saying that posting a PM is not cool!?

did they not read it? that's a textbook example of exactly what kind of PM to reveal to the public
 
As much as I love my iPhone and iPad and believe them to be far superior to Andriod alternatives, I was really hoping all these ridiculous patents get thrown in the garbage and this is the first step in the entire patent system undergoing an overhaul.

It's insane the ridiculous number of tech software patents out there for obvious things.

Nevertheless, given how things turned out, I really really really wish Steve Jobs lived long enough to see his last wish come true (to destroy Andriod OS), and to see Apple's stock finally overtake Microsoft's all time record.
 
Can a mod rename the thread Team Android mad at MTHanded for exposing one of their own as a crackpot?

Seems to be what this thread's about.
 
I'm on team MThanded on this one.

It's a private message when sent. That is the extent of the privacy. The person who receives it can do with it whatever they want afterwards. if you don't want things to get out, don't send them to people you don't trust.

hear hear.

lol @ people calling for MT to be banned over that. I know some of you are fans of Samsung and all that, but you're letting your salt get in the way of reasonable thinking. Calling for long-time, quality posters to be banned is...you're in too fucking deep. Come up for air, because you're fucking drowning in bitterness.
 
You're on crack if you think he is not allowed to post a private message. Who ever said they were bound to secrecy?
 
I'm 99% sure I've seen people banned on GAF for posting PM's, but it's been a while and I can't remember if that's a hard and fast/consistent rule, or if it was something specific to those cases (I think it was always on the Gaming side). Regardless of how hilarious it is (I don't know why you would both putting someone on ingnore and doing that, since you wouldn't see a reply PM) I would probably edit that out. Also even if you think he's an idiot, still kind of a dick move.
 
"@martyn_williams
The jury decided some of Samsung's infringement was willful, and that means Judge Koh could triple damages."


.....


4:24 PM | by David HamiltonOK, we've just gotten clarification from the courthouse. Total damages assessed against Samsung: $1.05 billion
 
This is hilarious.

Aren't Koreans really protective of their companies and brands, too? I want to see some Korean media reaction to this.

The fall out could be enormous.
 
hear hear.

He isn't a quality poster, go read his first post in this thread on his intent to troll in here.
 
The ironing

i bet he still reads all of your posts regardless

That's what's amazing. It's like people are willfully ignoring all the internal Samsung documents that explicitly read like an instruction manual on how to make their phones more like iPhones. The level of cognitive dissonance required to try to pretend that Samsung didn't outright copy the iPhone is beyond me.

yep. samsung has no one but themselves to blame for this.
