And I wasn't? You effectively called me a liar, and yet I didn't tell you to fsck off. I gave you every choice about other uses for your thinly veiled accusation.

I-A-N-A-L

>We could grab strangers from the street, and they would be able to tell the devices apart in a heartbeat.

If you say so. I guess I'm just stupid compared to strangers from the street, then?

> So, for their products to look more alike is not that weird

This is the type of thing a lawyer would write to be able to make a case in front of a jury. Do you work for Samsung? It feels to me like you are a paid shill for them, protecting their reputation on the internet.

Let me spell it out for you: The similarity between the iPad and the Samsung tablet was not accidental. The Samsung device was a slavish copy. This fact is well-proven by the fact that there are plenty of other tablets out there and none of the others are readily confusable with an iPad.



I apologize for antagonizing you to this extent. I don't work for Samsung.


Wow, that's not something you see much on the Internets! Well, then, I also appologize for misjudging you and for getting so riled.
