    Samsung caught again copying Apple

    Official Samsung website for Galaxy Player 50 has a slightly modified version of the Apple iOS Maps app, directly taken from a 2008 screenshot of iPhone Maps app. Apparently, Samsung doesn’t know (or care) that although the Apple’s Maps app uses Google maps data, the user interface is designed and copyrighted by Apple since 2007.

    No wonder Apple wins injunction in Australia and Germany. Fandroid drones, what excuses do you have now? Still think Samsung using Apple’s App Store and Safari icons is an “accident”?

    Samsung using Apple’s App Store and Safari icons in their stores

    This isn’t the first time a rival to Apple has used their artwork. Recently we’ve had Samsung using icons from Apple’s App Store in the backdrop of their in-store displays, a move which once again led to much embarrassment for the firm fighting a legal battle claiming they’re copying Apple’s iPhone and iPad.

    Note: Samsung took the page down.

  • Geohot Raps a Message to Sony

    WTF?

    Geohot (iPhone jailbreaker) can rap! In case you hadn’t heard, he moved his jailbreaking on to the Sony Playstation platform and Sony sued him. Maybe they should just sign him instead.

    Lyrics:

    Yo it’s geohot

    And for those who don’t know

    I’m getting sued by Sony

    Let’s take this out of the courtroom and into the streets
    I’m a beast, at the least, you’ll face me in the northeast
    Get my ire up, light my fire
    I’ll go harder then Eminem went at Mariah
    Call me a liar
    Pound me in the ass with no lube, chafing
    You’re fucking with the dude who got the keys to your safe and
    Those that can’t do bring suits
    Cry to your Uncle Sam to settle disputes
    Thought you’d tackle this with a little more tact
    But then again fudgepackers, I don’t know Jack

    I shed a tear everytime I think of Lik Sang
    But shit man, they’re a corporation
    And I’m a personification of freedom for all
    You fill dockets, like thats a concept foreign to y’all
    While lawyers muddy water and TROs stall
    Out of business is jail for me
    And you’re suing me civilly

    Exhibit this in the courtroom
    Go on, do it, I dare you
