“Samsung has put together a promotional video for the Samsung Galaxy S III that instantly recalls the product promos that Apple issues to accompany its product launches,” Electronista reports.
“The video features a number of the product designers from the Galaxy S III adding their thoughts on the depth of their design inspiration and how they drew from nature in the design of the product, through to the user experience,” Electronista reports.
Electronista reports, “The timing of its release is also interesting, with the jury still out in the trial between it and Apple, it as though Samsung is trying to highlight the independent thinking and effort exerted in creating the Galaxy S III.”

MacDailyNews Take: At this point, we have to conclude that Samsung simply does not understand the negative implications of copying or stealing other people’s work. The company simply couldn’t be that morbidly stupid. Perhaps Samsung thinks they’re paying respect to their largest customer by slavishly imitating them or something? Perhaps they think that the multiple lawsuits on every continent with a court system are Apple’s way of saying, “thanks for the knockoffs?”

I can’t believe that MDN thinks it is copy. introduction of product needs to explain like that way. it’s not the first time Apple did. for godsake. then Apple fucker, you needs to make this patent as well. I feel that apple will be going down quickly because their behavior will be outcast by other companies. smile now, cry later. I really hope that Apple will get back 1997 situation again so that they can regret what they did for industry.
i wonder if the ceo wears a steve jobs mask when he makes love to his husband…
Anyone remember ‘Koi Pond’?
I also remember Apple demonstrating the same ripple effect in their QuickTime back in the 90’s, before Steve Jobs came back.
“depth of their design inspiration and how they drew from nature in the design of the product”
Apples are part nature. Yes, our inspiration is drawn from nature.
Makes you want to poop watching that.
This is not a racist comment, but I just don’t believe the Asian culture can produce the same level of sophistication and creative thought as western cultures. Here in the west we have a huge repository of deep cultural connections going right back to the Greeks and further. Our art is influenced by many cultures, our design draws from many aesthetics. Just look at two areas, music and cars. The west has produced the most popular and most widely revered music, same goes for cars.
But the Asian culture has really failed to produce something of equal or more value, without falling back on the design cues set by western manufactures. Nikon had to bring in an Italian designer to make their top dslr. I am certain canon is the same ( or maybe not….since their body designs are often considered inferior to Nikon)
So I think this whole copying thing goes very deep throughout Asian manufacturing. It’s not always so blatant, but look beneath the surface and it’s all there. Their designers just seem incapable of coming up with truly original design and when ‘forced’ to think different the result is often less than great. Have a look at the reviews on android police for the galaxy tab and latest phone, not the most positive accolades. These are designs that Samsung had to come up with that didn’t blatant copy apple.
Sorry for the long post, but hope you appreciate.
This is the kind of shameless ad that would give Pat instant ejaculation from joy
What we need to do to end this nonsence, is to drop a huge, fucking A-BOMB over Apple’s HQ and round up any todieforApple supporters and shoot them, in the neck.
LOOK HERE YOU FUCKTARDS!
All respect to The Great Woz! Steve Jobbs and Tim Cook, you can both get fucked by a bear with AIDS.
Classy.
If that happened, SameSung would go under as they’d have no one worth copying.
