[Macrumors] UK Judge Rules Samsung Tablets 'Not as Cool' as iPad - Page 2

post #11 of 44
Read the comments on the article at MacRumors. It is the exact opposite of what you expect to read here. Read it and hilarity will follow.

OT: I am pretty sure the judge uses an iPad. I mean, come on, the two tablets do look very similar, well at least from the front, and that is the most important part of a tablet, right?

Ha! I love this one

"In related news: Judges teenage son cringes at fathers use of dated slang."

Mac users must be cooler than cool. (Ice cold?)

Edit: Can't decide which comment is worst. They all are.

"I bought my iPad because i knew it was the coolest tablet there is. Suck it, Samsung!"

If I was the CEO of Samsung, I'd be relieved and insulted at the same time.

Agree 100%, though we all know that Samsung is copying Apple to make a buck.

Now a judge is biased because a tablet is "cooler" because it's an ipad?

Get me the heck off of this planet.

My favourite was a comment on The Verge's article:
Quote:
The best thing is that if Apple want to appeal it, they’d have to state

“We appeal this ruling on the grounds that our products are not cooler than the Samsung tab”
Or
“We appeal this ruling on the grounds that Samsung products are every bit as cool as ours”

I love how this was a major loss for Apple - the ruling went against them as the judge decided that the Samsung pads were different from the iPads and could therefore be sold in the UK - yet somehow that one comment taken out of context is being used as a win for Apple...

Another comment from the ruling:
Quote:
The court found numerous Apple design features to lack originality, and numerous identical design features to have been visible in a wide range of earlier tablet designs from before 2004.
Source

Just goes to show you really need the context and the full story to make an informed decision, however an out of context quote can be a propoganda gold mine.
