Samsung goes on the attack, may seek to ban iPhone 5 in South Korea

Lol, Apple's pissed in its own breakfast. Jobs' investment decisions aside, this company makes the worst choices. They're quickly burning their bridges, even with the crApple fanboys. I can't believe they're pulling that junk in the App Store about purchases straight from developers.

apple fanboys are the same as apple haters. annoying.

As it's said in the sticks where in grew up, "You don't crap where you eat..."

In this particular case I'm not 100% sure which came first in this Chicken or Egg story; meaning, that I know for a fact that corporations & people of wealth DON'T use their own money for much of anything other than for things that they wish to keep.

Research & development, labor forces, raw materials, shelf companies and the lives of anyone that they deem as ineffectual to their financial stability are to be placed on someone else's 'accounts payable'.

All that being said, most if not all of Apple's technology is owned by Samsung in some form or fashion. To what degree has been previously hinted to & frankly, I'm not interested. What I do find intriguing & contradictive that it's hinted that not only did the German's not see this, but they still allowed the lawsuit. Possibly under the hospices of erring under the guise of being 'right' & thorough, but the time to clear things up would certainly be long enough to put a major dent in Samsung sales.

This situation smacks of the beginning of the same situation when Motorola decided to snuff out the RISC processor & Apple turned to Intel for it's replacement. The whole small global 'bang' of Apple clones & the like for a while was a nice touch (although I may be 'moshing' my time periods in a bit).

Like Windows, since it's inception, I had always pictured Apple as a choice of operating systems, not a freaking life changing, manipulating force IN my life. I think Samsung is saying the same thing.

LordRuss, I typically find your comments thoughful and clever. Please do not take my comment as critical. I am simply bringing to the forefront a comical mishap at your expense. I generally don't point out flaws in grammar but this was ripe for the picking. Sorry. ---Chikn

"Hospices": a type of care and a philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient's symptoms

Auspices: patronage or guidance

Oh... crap... I just knew I was using that word wrong! My wife always told me I was the most over educated dumbass there was... Just goes to show you. I think I must have done that, what, maybe four times here since I have been in the forums? Let's call it an even dozen, just to be on the safe side!

I made sure to get a fresh crayon & a new post-it & put that on my monitor... can't be too careful these days... damnspellcheck...

It'll be our little secret...

Fight fire with fire I say. I hope other companies such as Google join in the fight against Apple, and put an end to this nonsense once and for all. I for one am sick and tired of Apple's lawsuit tactics.

Stick it to 'em Samsung. Take a big bite out of that rotten apple, and spit in their face.

How Stalinistic..........but YEAH! Stick it to Apple. I guess it'll be no different than the USA banning Cuban cigars.
