Okay.
So companies should simply ignore the fact that they filed and have been granted a patent?
Apple filed a 28 page application for that 'slide to unlock'. Which, actually got tossed out for patent infringement in Europe by one of the judges who KNEW this process has already been in existence in the military (not sure which, but its been around).
Now.... think about this:
This is a software patent. Do you think anything steve jobs marketed (because thats all he ever did, he worked on persuasion, NOT innovation) would have been able to do so if it werent for the lack of these same software patents that didnt exist when Xerox invented the graphical user interface with scroll bars, icons that looked like folders, etc?
Again, and I raise this question for every single apple fanboy: WHY the bias?
Android focused on food?

If you win over a billion dollars against your largest competitor, you clearly had a reason to sue.
The patent should have never been granted. Apple hasnt invented much of their own. Youve already been told that Steve Jobs admitted to steal... and also *lied* during his first iPhone keynote presentation that Apple invented multitouch.

A frivolous and suspicious win. Theyve only won in USA, on homeland, in their hometown where they pay nice taxes. Everywhere else across the globe, apple has been losing over these bull***t patents, rightfully so as they are ridiculous.
I support American companies
Apple and Samsung may both have great phones however for those of us who like to buy American.... The iPhone is as American as apple pie... pun intended.

That picture is just childish. Complete immature move on Samsung's part. I highly doubt anyone will switch to laggy-Android melting Ice Cream Sandwich.
Why don't you consider that the top 10 "features" in the list were virtually all mentioned in Apple's keynote as improvements with their latest phone? So clearly important and the SIII trumps the iphone each time. Samsung is being very "tongue in cheek" with the balance of the list and is therefore only there to make people talk about the ad...which seems to have worked.
We can dismiss the specs as not important and it's the "user experiience" that counts etc.. Without being sexist and no offence intended towards anyone, but these platitudes are right up there with "it's all about the personality"
It is all about the specs, and that is why Apple ram them down our throats at every keynote.

makes perfect sense now thats why its bigger with these calories and fattening food from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Beans... makes sense now ok.......
I honestly think Samsung isn't targetting iPhone users with this ad; they're actually targetting android users. Surveys have shown that iPhone/Apple customers are extremely loyal so Samsung is trying to make the S3 the champion of android phones so all android users will buy it as the anti-iPhone.
Not quite, Jelly Bean is set to be released next month. There is indeed a delay between the official release from Google and the release from the OEMS but the S3 being such a popular device it will get the update relatively fast.
That said, this is definitely an area that Google and the OEMs need to improve upon.
Didn't that comparison chart omit a lot of Samsung phones? I think this one was more accurate:

Most definitely!
As of 12 Sept 2012, the majority of Android users (57%) are still on 2.3.3-2.3.7 (and most likely cannot even upgrade, even if they wanted to!).

it omits the LG Prada as well... that argument has been debunked many times, im tired of people even still making it.
We all know Apple did that before Samsung, the prior art from neo node was very poorly executed in comparison.
You know, my crappy nokia dumb phone from way before the iphone had a grid of icons as its homescreen.
Strongest case to counter your argument is the LG Prada, which renders your case invalid.
Have you used an LG prada? It was a horrible phone, which is why it did terrible in the market.
I wasnt talking about Samsung in this comment.

What difference does it make if it was good or bad? It clearly shows that Apple did not innovate.
When Apple does it it is more like art. Their ads are more tasteful or humorous like the I'm a PC ad line. Their ads now don't seem to do that even. This ad is a total joke. The features they list are insanely idiotic and no one cares, it's just all they could come up with to make the list longer because it makes idiots think it must be better. That's who this ad appeals to, idiots. People who don't know anything about phones won't read the whole ad, and people who do should know that 1gb ram vs 2 doesn't mean **** with the OS differences. My 4 is still pretty fast on iOS 6 with half the ram and a 2 generation old processor. I also have no idea what any of those features at the bottom mean. So any tech knowledgable person who goes with the S3 simply because a little list including tilt to zoom showed up and they read it is an idiot. I have nothing wrong with the S3 or Android, but it's not hard to see why Apple is killing it. I checked out an S3 a friend of mine just got. I just don't really get it. It's not a bad phone, but I'd rather have the original iPhone from 2007 on iOS 1.
I'm also only offended by this ad because it's so bad and Samsung probably puts a TON of money into marketing. So I'm offended by how bad a job they did with this, not that they'd do it. The genius line is the only part that was clever.
