Samsung Has Like Totally Never Ever Copied Apple

Apple thinks Samsung has copied Apple’s designs. Samsung doesn’t think so. Apple also thinks the sky is blue. Samsung…okay, I’m kidding. I guess there could be some coinkydink going on between the two companies but um, it doesn’t look good for Samsung. A Reddit user put together these images and there’s probably more to the…

The wireless carrier points to the upcoming 2011 holiday shopping season, which would be…

Here Come The Next Generation of Androids From Samsung (Read: The Nexus Prime)

Samsung just sent out invitations to a product launch on October 11 coinciding with CTIA. It’s certainly going to mean a new Android phone from Samsung, probably the Nexus Prime. The invitations cloyingly show the Android robot peeking out of a box, refers to “Google Episode,” and invites to “come see what’s new from Android.”…

Like HTC, Samsung Now Pays Microsoft to Put Android On Its Phones

Samsung Galaxy 8.9 Hands On: Is 8.9 Inches of Tablet the Sweet Spot?

Remember the Galaxy Tab 10.1? We called it the best Android Tablet yet, and it still is.

Verizon Backs Samsung in Fight Against Apple, and Why It Doesn’t Really Matter

Kind of surprising, but Verizon has piped up in the Samsung v. Apple case, arguing that a preliminary injunction against Samsung would ultimately be bad for consumers. Interesting, especially considering just how impotent the move actually is. Verizon issued an “amicus curiae brief,” which simply allows them to voice their complaints to the court. In…

Samsung Already Trying To Ban the iPhone 5

The next iPhone will be out soon, and Samsung’s legal team is going to be nice and ready for it: the company’s told the Korea Times that it’s already working on a national sales ban.

If You Already Hate Windows 8 Then You Hate Technology

I hate the term fanboy. It’s a pejorative meant to denigrate someone’s opinion. A conversation-ender. After applying it to someone, really there’s nothing left to say. But seeing the reaction to Windows 8, I get why people use it. Very many people who have never used the new early prototype Windows tablet have been shitting…
