      AnonD-189521, 24 Oct 2013All you lot grinning away like the cat that got the cream b... moreDenial much? You're trying so hard to rationalize Samsung's dirty tactics, your head must be hurting. Politicians? Second World War? What are you blabbering about? Everyone else does it? Samsung's been caught THREE times already. What proof do you have anyone else does things like this? ... Go on, We'll wait.

      BTW, if you knew much about history you would realize Jobs was quoting Picasso when he said that. And there is a deeper meaning that what fanboys like you are able to comprehend.

          very sad. I can't believe Samsung, a company like them resort to this type of tactic. Already not impressed with inflated numbers, false tactics, not surprised with them paying people to slam other competition. Not surprised at all. Karma will get companies like this.

                            Anonymous, 24 Oct 2013i wasnt surprised with their findings and its good to know ... moreAll you lot grinning away like the cat that got the cream because you think you've won some sort of victory here need to do a bit of research before you make yourselves look like a load of immature kids.
                            It doesn't matter how squeeky clean your beloved Apple/HTC/Nokia/Motorola/Samsung etc etc appear to be on the surface,it's guaranteed that every single one of them will have been guilty of the exact same thing at some time or another,the only difference here is that they got caught.Look up dirty tricks campaigns by politicians,or propaganda in the second world war and you'll see how the professionals do it and in most cases get away with it.
                            Oh and of course Steve Jobs now immortal words "Good artists copy,great artists steal".Think about that before you go shooting your mouth off about things you actually know nothing about.

                                  I mean Taiwan is relatively a small country and Samsung doesn't need to do a dirty trick just to sell their devices there. We're not talking about China, Russia, India or US here.

                                      Taiwan ruling in favor of HTC which is a Taiwanese company.

                                      Just like US ruling in favor of Apple.

                                      From a consumer who has owned both brands my wallet likes competition and Samsung for now.
