Apple sues Samsung over Galaxy look-and-feel

Megaphone

Copy or Creativity

I don't like Apple Inc.

They always played the poor underdog until they became a mean beast themselves. They became rich and powerfull with the help of all the app developers... and now screw them big.

That said... In the case of the IPhone design vs the Samsung Galaxy S I believe Samsung did a poor job and merely copied the IPhone design instead of being creative themselves. When I first saw the Galaxy S I first thought of it as a IPhone clone.

The IPad vs the Galaxy tablet however I see much less infringements (but still very little creativity from Samsung)

Then please also sue Apple

You buy a computer from brand ABC model XYZ? That computer's specifications include an OS, as it does include a CPU, memory, etc.

It should be up to the manufacturer to decide if you can change the configuration.

When I buy a new sedan car, I cannot give back the back seats simply because I like other seats or no seats at all?

And what about Apple? Apple notebooks run well on Windows or Linux. Would Apple let you buy hardware without their OS?

Battery

Dear Michele,

Thank you for this wonderfull idea.

How should I proceed to clean the keypad of my notebook? Do you think it's wise to remove the Sony battery since it might bring the water to a boiling point which might affect the laquer of the notebook negatively..

Kind regards,

Arthur
