Personally, I'd have asked for millions for that kind of advice, but kudos to you for giving it away for free. |

I.M Pei, the Louvre, the Museum of Natural History, and J.S Polshek should all be suing Apple for ripping off their innovative designs.

Just a clarification... Personally insulting someone isn't allowed or tolerated. A personal insult would be along the lines of: "X is an idiot because he bought an iPad." Bigotry, insulting a class of people (race, purchasers of a product or product line, people that listen to a certain type of music, people that like a certain type of food, etc.) does personally insult people. Saying: "Everyone that bought an iPad is an idiot" Is also personally insulting. MR's guidelines make no distinctions between the two. This warning and the previous warning was directed at any and all forms of insults and rudeness. Stop it now... we close too many threads due to this violation. |

I just hope somebody from Samsung is keeping a watch on this forum so that they can sign you up. In fact, there's a Korean restaurant nearby, I might pop in and tip them the wink. |

pilotbob, thanks for the clarification. But let me ask you, if I say "Many Apple customers are "sheeple," shouldn't that be OK? "Sheeple" is a common term popularized by the Samsung commercials. I did not make up the term.

It's being appealed and the verdict could be overturtned or the judgment reduced. Moreover, the jury foreman is being investigated for potential impropriety. Apple hasn't really won anything -- yet.

The only reason to say someone belongs to a cult, or is a "sheeple," or is brainwashed is to insult them. |

In my opinion (I'm sure others as well) "sheeple" is meant to be a derogatory term. Someone that just follows the herd mindlessly and without thought. I am sure this is the message Samsung intended to portray as well. This would be similar to calling all those Samsung Galaxy S III owners "lemmings". 'nuff said. |

It was widely reported only a month ago that this pretty clearly debunked the argument that Samsung designers were given a deliberate steer to copy the iPhone, and that it was a shame that the jury were not given access to the full transcripts. By all means argue that the Samsung Galaxy S ended up too close to the iPhone 3G for comfort, but please don't do it on the basis of discredited information, or we all end up going round in circles.

No, I'm not kidding. "Sheeple" is only slightly negative. It's not the same as calling people idiots or morons or stupid. I'm surprised the word is essentially being banned here. But since pilotbob says we can't use the term anymore, I won't. --Pat |

Are we talking about the same thing? EDIT: link to the document I am talking about. There are 130 pages of blatant recommendations to copy almost every UI element of iOS. I don't see this being debunked in the Groklaw page you linked to. Last edited by holymadness; 11-16-2012 at 04:55 PM. |
