apple great desing

[Linde]

First of all i am going to state i am anti Apple and pro Samsung. In fact seeing my Blackberry is about to giveup on me i am thinking about getting the new Galaxy s3 next week. Maybe.

But i am going to defend Apple in that Samsung did copy Apple and are right to take action against them. The green phone icon through to the pinching for zoom in/out is out right theft. Samsung deserve to be sued. They should be innovative and do something original.

Pyromania is a poo poo face.

Yeah, while the iPhone is COMPLETELY ORIGINAL and made up out of the blue by designers who were raised in a closed-off environment not to get any impressions from the world around them.

Lesser companies would either use their monopolistic power to enforce crap products to customers (like M$ has mostly done)

Oh, so you mean I didn't HAVE TO install iTunes on my PC to be able to register an account to purchase software for my phone or transfer music to it?

I guess I come across as very anti-Apple in this thread, but I use OSX for development at work daily and I love it. It just strikes me as more Apple-like than Microsoft-like to try to herd its users into using the same software and centralized distribution systems.

I'm anti-Samsung myself and have already told the wife that we need to rid ourselves of our old Samsung microwave

That's just pathetic brand tribalism and irresponsible consumerism to boot. Why don't you put your keyboard in that microwave oven and set it to 10 minutes?
