I think Apple are the ones who are scared given the lawsuits and them trying to block Samsung phones. I don't see Apple going after HTC or Motorola. Its Samsung who poses a huge threat and Apple knows it.
Got a tip for us?

I've started using the hash tag #TheNextBigThing to talk about how excited I am for my new iPhone 5. All iPhone fans should to the same! "Borrow" their slogan.
Seems like Samsung's biggest worry is adjectives. Some of that stuff on their spec list must just be made up words. They don't actually refer to any features.
All I got to say to this ad is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Tilt to Zoom? What the hell does that mean??? Plus the who there right mind likes Android over iOS?

Um. The courts sided with Apple in, what, one court out of about 20? lol.
Apple = US company = US advantage. Rest of the world sees the BS Apple sues over.

Samsung has filed 4 separate ITC cases trying to block iPhone sales in the past 24 months. So far 2 have failed and 2 are in process. This is in addition to countless injunctions Samsung has sought all over the world.
I am not sure you are objectively viewing the legal landscape.
Samsung reminds me of someone that just can't be at peace. I always find it amusing how each Samsung ad has to target a competitor and put them down rather than keep the spotlight on their own product. It goes to show they are hurting. Everyone deep down knows the iPhone is nicer, even the Apple haters (especially).
Samsung does have such ads. They aren't bad at all. They just don't spend as much on tv ads as Apple does.
The ITC just sided against Samsung.
I believe only the UK has ruled in Samsung's favor so far.
I love how the apple dispplay is off where as the samsung is on
At first glance, it looked as if tho the Galaxy's display was shattered, took a second look to realize it's a dandelion!
Apple needs good competition but this is childish. Samsung should just stick to promoting their okay phones and not sling dirt.
At least not in a courtroom anyways!

Nice comparison!
And WHY NOT use a WHITE iPhone 5 and turn the damn SCREEN ON?
Black on dark blue obviously won't make much of an impression.

I work in the IT industry. Once you have used a iPhone I don't know why you would go back to the S3. For me it the quality feel the iPhone has and to know the software just works. Some of my fellow work mates running S3 and other Android based tablets try to keep up with works integrated software that I can use on iPhone and iPad onsite, They just leave the tablet at home cause its not reliable enough to work for serious business.
As an aside, judging from the number of comments here and other apple sites, Android/Samsung fanboys spend an inordinately obsessive amount of time in iPhone forums/sites dissing all things Apple - it's almost like their choice of phone needs to validated - so they come here to air their fetid ravings; and Samsung themselves are the apotheosis of this defense mechanism/behavior too. A cursory look at android forums and you'd be hard pressed to find the apple fanboy trolling in there.

Do they show Samsung specific software add-ons that is not part of Android, and is still useful? Call me surprised.
It's actually: you put 2 fingers onto the screen and tilt the phone, or move it further/closer to you to make it zooms the picture. It's not a great feature but a patent for interacting with your phone like that could be had and than Apple would be barred from having similar controls on the iPhone.
And before you say it's pointless. How do we know? It would be useful for other situations like augmented reality.
Lots of people (more than 50% at last count according to IDC) in the world are according to you out of their minds.
