ROFL... lol.png


smile.png It's not only about stealing form factor, don't forget the hardware design/technology-inside copying etc as well. And of course, a court gave the verdict. Come on Samsung! Any idea what's originality? big_smile.png


That argument is a bit flawed buddy, ford were the "original" manufacturers of commercial automotive but they suck at making quality reliable cars ! Not so much the case with Japanese car manufacturers..yes apple did make a square-y thing with a touch screen that could make calls...but Samsung took their brilliant idea and made it better, that's all.

Besides if Ford tried to sue every single car manufacturer over a rectangular metallic body that can move on wheels! can you imagine dafuq would happen ?? smile.png

TheLegendLeads

smile.png The verdict is about violation of patenting laws. If we take Ford's example approach, there must not be anything on earth like patents, copyrighting, pirating. Imagine for a while...!

Ford did register patents with detailed specifications. The followers did respect them. Everyone was happy! The case here was quite different.

One thing is for sure, we will soon have an award winning film on the entire case.
A hollywood version will have a twist in the  climax proving one company as right and the other as wrong.
And the bollywood version will leaeve it to the audience, the users of both the products whether the patents were violated or not. big_smile.png

The bolly version will be lots of fun. Samsung CEO will be made the head of jury for one day (Anil Kapoor). He'll be busy working; while Apple CEO (SRK) will fall in love with Samsung CEO's daughter (Kajol) and Samsang CEO (Amreshpuri) will refuse to accept the proposal. Then Steve Jobs (Amibtabh) will taunt Apple CEO (SRK) for not being his blood son.

3 movie stories mixed up.

Sorry others, this is between me and Dave smile.png

Good one. Ha Ha ha. smile.png

But I expected a plot & casting for a Hollywood movie from you @TLL.

TheLegendLeads

Let me stay with Bollywood Dave. I like it more smile.png

ghanshyampdave

And when the movie is released, I'll illegally download it and watch it on my Samsung S3 big_smile.png

So much for the piracy and patent laws.

But there's no fun in illegally downloading a bollywood movie tongue.png

It's like stealing dates from the date trees on KSA roads.

Did you see the jury profile ?? half of them were over 60's lmao any how I own a few apple products and I think these guys are design geniuses BUT the fact that they lack competition spirit has put me off their future products .. any how every dog has its day and apples desperation shows their days are nigh IMO

By the way I am not Samsung fan and down any of their products apart from a TV wink.png but if you look under the bonnet of an apple device you will see that the touch screen, the processor and the wifi transmitters are made by SAMSUNG yikes.png

Samsung's reaction to the fine LMAO http://en.paperblog.com/samsung-pays-ap … ns-294795/

TheLegendLeads

70 SAR/month for unlimited is really awesome.

ghanshyampdave

Cost of the Data Card ??
Hidden charges ?
Speed?

TheLegendLeads

Usually provided free but they are locked to carriers (STC/Mobily/Zain).

Unlocked ones (with WiFi module) are available in Jarir for a price as low as 300 SAR.

Hoping to hear back from Allie neutral.png

ghanshyampdave

But they all cost a bomb. Waiting to know if there's cheaper, faster & reliable one available than what I have.

Somebody gave it to me to use so I didn't do any of the paperwork, nor do I know if there was an initial cost.  All I know is that I chose to pay for a month and it was 70SAR, unlimited.

Not true.  It is a legitimate business that has 'loaned' it to me as long as I pay the monthly fee!
