“Finally, Samsung made a great ad that the people like,” Obama Pacman reports. “I wonder why.”
“Matthew Panzarino (@panzer), senior editor of Techcrunch noticed that Samsung is trying to pass off a copy of the original iPhone TV ad as its own,” Obama Pacman reports. “Surely the ripping off the first TV ad of the iconic Apple iPhone by Samsung is totally a coincidence.”
“And the funny thing is that while the Apple iPhone revolutionized the phone industry, the Samsung Galaxy Gear watch is universally panned,” Obama Pacman writes. “That’s because similar to the HP Slate that tried to preempt the rumored Apple iPad tablet, the Samsung watch is based on rumors of the Apple iWatch. Without an actual iWatch to copy, Samsung can’t make a useful product.”

At this point, we have to ask if this is a cultural disconnect? You know, like giving someone in Iran a “thumbs up.”
Can any of our South Korean readers tell us, “Is there actually a concept of copying the work of others and/or intellectual property ownership in South Korea?” Also, if so, “Is there a concept of shame and embarrassment over doing so?”

Having lived in Seoul, Republic of Korea (ROK) for two years, this is no surprise. We GIs used to refer to it as the “Land of the Not Quite Right.” Stairs were never equal lengths/depths/height, knock-offs were available on any street corner, nothing really original. Periodically, all the shops in Itaewon would suddenly close their shutters. A few minutes later, the ROK police would come through doing one of their counterfeit sweeps. Only those who didn’t pay them off got caught. Although before the ’88 Olympics, they did appear to really crack down on them before the games. Afterwards, it was back to business as normal
Samsunoindence is the inventor of 20th century coincidence. Unfortunately for it, Samsunoindence seems to have forgotten to try to patent coincidences.
We are all enough to not believe in coincidences and the average level of age to not believe in coincidences will finally go down.
This is starting to get to a ridiculously childish level. Are they idiots over there? Or just children?
