Not a position I'd put myself in. Yes, it's dirty poo on the part of Samsung, but you'd be foolish to think the company wouldn't want something in return.

Oh boy. First they shamelessly copy Apple and get punished for it, now they are abusing helpless bloggers. Sad. Real sad.

The premise of all of this just seems laughably fake, as do the e-mail screenshots.

i'd agree too that its fishy, i have a feeling that some rotten apple is behind this

How can anyone believe in this...

At least, for starters, think why would anyone invite no-name bloggers from no-name blogs...

SeaSonic flew me to Las Vegas and paid my hotel for CES, in return for an interview to be posted on here. Otherwise they made no demands and I covered the whole event.

It sounds to me like there was a a huge amount of miscommunication going on between the bloggers and Samsung. Still that's no excuse for Samsung to do what they did. They (Samsung) should just have put the bloggers on the first plane home and be done with it. Props to Nokia. At least some still have the decency to help there fellow man.

Why would Samsung want some random bloggers to man its booths? Sounds....unlikely.

Just compared your profile and his... you really think it's appropriate?smile.gif

And tried to read that blog post again. Pay thousands for some random nerds to present their products in booth? Really? I'd like that tbh, some company that would pay tickets and fancy hotel for exchange of me standing few hours presenting their products wink.gif

c'mon this is such a bull and makes me wonder how isn't this posted by tt
