apple v Samsung Samsung have introduced evidence of juror misconduct. The lead juror lied during voir dire and had an axe to grind. Check out Groklaw for latest or many other sites

It's technology, out of millions of devices out there a few are bound to have problems - that's not exclusive to Apple, it's just Apple set the bar higher than other companies which makes it easier to fall short of our expectations
Besides, Samsungs suck and you all know it!

You may think Samsung suck, but you are in the minority. Samsung are the biggest Android device manufacturer. Last year Apple had an impressive 81% of tablet market. This year, however, Apple's market share has dropped to 52% despite the new iPad. Meanwhile, Android has gained massively from 15% to a 48% share of the tablet market.

Yeah Apple did set the bar higher than other companies, but are now just kicking back buoyed by the successes of previous products and the rise in their share price. Not only that, they have built up a large and loyal fan base who are prepared to camp outside their stores and buy anything with an Apple logo on it. Because of this Apple are unlikely change their formula and to do anything anything radically innovative that would potentially upset their massive fan base, case point proven with the iPhone 5 which is essentially just a taller iPhone 4. Now, despite Jobs' insistence, Apple are set to release a 7" iPad, whoopie do, again nothing radical and are simply trying to break into a growing market that have no exposure to.

Dude, seriously, who gives a ****?
I was pulling your chain and you still wasted precious moments of your life writing all that. It's good to see that Fandroids bite just as easily as the Apple fans though. Clearly, I touched a nerve.

Very true, nobody other than jack and his fellow sufferers ever mention android
With the exception of mentioning the S3, which a very large proportion of phone owners couldn't give a **** about

This thread is a perfect example of how political allegiances are formed. Both phones do roughly the same thing, but both camps are convinced their's does it slightly better. And neither are ever likely to concede they were wrong. Behavioural psychologists would have a field day.

Well, clearly you've mistaken me for someone who does give a ****. I really don't. I'm just having an open discussion on an internet forum on an entertaining subject. Nothing more nothing less. Unfortunately it seems you're unable to articulate anything more than "Samsung sucks" or sense the irony of your first sentence in your last rely.

Are you saying that you are not 'wasting your life' when you keep on responding?
Come fella, this thread is all about light hearted banter, nothing more.
If you take it seriously or to heart, I feel sorry for you.

As I stated above, when I said "Samsung sucks", I was pulling your chain to see if you'd bite. Which you did. Clearly this touched a nerve though by the way you have reacted - funny since you mention that this thread is all about light hearted banter.
Honestly, I'm certainly not taking things to heart. I posted and keep responding to stir the pot as it's fun to see how wound up all the haters get.

On a serious note, I've been playing around with it on a few tablets and it's actually OK. (More in line with a this thread, I'm sorry to admit, one of those tables was a Samsung!

I'm quite capable of articulating a reasoned and rational argument when the occasion calls for it.
As I stated above, when I said "Samsung sucks", I was pulling your chain to see if you'd bite. Which you did. Clearly this touched a nerve though by the way you have reacted - funny since you mention that this thread is all about light hearted banter.
I was also poking a little irony at how futile this thread has become - a point further illustrated by your above responses.
