It isn't wishy washy, I simply don't subscribe to the idea that Apple invented everything. Execution and focus matters too, and that is what Apple is generally good at.

I'm not a fan of these lawsuits either but the world isn't ideal. Every single company is playing this game and what is happening now is its logical conclusion. Nothing will change that except for patent law reform.

That was all this whole thread started about. It looks funny when you are accusing companies of "copying" your tech right and left, and yet you are poaching their employees all over the place (referring to Apple hiring Google and Samsungs talent). Surely they MUST be doing something worthwhile and have a skillset you are looking to add to your own.

Its like back in school, "stop copying me, stop copying me" then the next sentence is "Hey, how did you get hte answers for section 2,and 5"

Eh, hiring individual employees with expertise on very specific things things, whether it is data aggregation or specifics of chip design, is very different from the wholesale lifting of complete UI concepts in products. Those have very little to do with one another.

Takin, what are you trying to do here? First you take the thread way off topic, then when I steer it back you completely miss the whole jist of it.

Reclaimer said... "No it just looks kinda funny that Apple is attacking the tech world, mostly Samsung, based on their "irreverent designs". The goes and blatantly poaches a chief Samsung designer. So in the span of a year we've seen a 4 inch iPhone, a 7 inch "mini iPad", and now this... But clearly everyone is copying from Apple..clearly...."

Then we had a laugh about the irony he pointed out. Now after totally derailing the conversation, you are back to the topic as if it were serious or a concrete subject. Eeef. Your zealotry knows no bounds. It just looks funny that is all. Apple is crying to the world that everyone is copying them, and now they are hiring people from google, Samsung and now the latest from Amazon. If you cant see the irony,or at least point your posts toward it I cant help you.
