How could Android phones possibly have any bloatware? I mean haven't Google, the phone manufacturers, and your carrier teamed up to give you FULL CONTROL of what's running your phone?
Your lame attempt at obfuscation is failing quite miserably. Samsung COPIED the iPhone. Period. If you choose not to believe, go spout your bullshit to someone who fucking gives a crap what idiots think.
Really?! That's the best comeback you can come up with?
Apple isn't a manufacturing company. You did know this already, right? Maybe you can blame McDonald's for not selling innovative bags of flour? Or Samsung because the PC OS is non-existent? If you knew anything about anything you wouldn't bother coming with such lame crap.
We're talking about *consumer products* here. Try again.
I know I'll also get mod'ed "troll" to death (despite this being a violation of the moderation guidelines) for agreeing, but it's is quite amazing that people are denying this. Samsung is built on copying others. I have myself worked with Samsung engineers (in a partnership role) who readily admitted that Samsung doesn't innovate, they just mass-copy (make 37 slightly different models) and market like crazy.
Don't delude yourselves--Samsung's post-iPhone phones are quite obviously copies of the iPhone. Denying that is just ridiculous. IANAL (and neither is PJ/Groklaw), so I don't know if this copying is legal or not, violates copyright or patents or whatever, but it seems to me the actual court case is there to determine that. Let that happen.
Uh, actually I do, Coward. Normal procedure is not mailing an empty envelope and later claiming that it contained the merchandise. This is fraudulent, and may lay you in jail. Hence my comment.
Chargebacks are also limited in time and nature, and the credit card issuer is the sole arbiter. They won't do chargebacks usually later than 120 days, which is much shorter than most warranties. Most warranties are made by the manufacturer and not the merchant, and thus the card issuer will not do chargebacks for warranty concerns. Also recognize that the merchants are the card issuer's customers, and they don't like pissing off their customers--they will frequently deny any chargeback which is refuted by the merchant. This has happened to me--Paypal (I don't even use Paypal) had placed fraudulent charges on a credit card of mine, and I attempted to contact them to get the charges reversed. After several weeks of no responses, I filed a chargeback, and Paypal refuted the claim, and my card issuer denied my chargeback. Paypal even admitted to me later that they knew the charge was fraudulent, but that they reflexively refute ALL chargebacks as a matter of business policy--something they offer as a service to their merchant customers.
Still think I don't know how things work with credit cards?

Shouldn't you pose such a question to The Telegraph rather than here?
Excuse my American ignorance, but aren't juries used in British criminal court cases?
While in Saskatchewan, don't forget to see the "Pile of Bones"...

Oh come on! They're right almost 48% of the time!
People who are likely to kill are still going to do it even though it is banned, so logically we should repeal the murder ban, right?
Nice Irish accent!

The difference is that you can delete most of those. Also, when you upgrade to iOS 6, you won't have to delete the youtube app--it'll just be gone.
Most people I know have a folder of undesired, undeletable Applue-supplied apps...
Yet again something easily filmed in Arizona....

I'm still holding on to a few a.out (i.e. pre-ELF) binaries in the hope I might somehow run them some day, despite no support in Ubuntu...
Even if it worked "perfectly" I still wouldn't want it.
Trust is relative, you know...
Don't trust anyone with a seven-digit uid.
More correctly:
1. Macs ship with a hook that offers to install Java if you ever attempt to use it.
2. OSX does not disable Java itself, but the Safari application disables the use of Java applets. If you run Firefox, this doesn't happen at all.
There's no such thing as civilian entrapment.
If the infringing company was not aware of its violation, it is now, having posted the C&D letter...

Uh no, it is a tos violation. RTFA!!!!
Yeah, why don't they have seven different competing nav bars and three layers of epilepsy-triggering flash ads?
The plain text UI is *exactly* why CL is popular.
It's not a copyright violation, it's a terms of use violation. RTFA.
Craigslist is a business, albeit a non-profit one. It is not a government service or a birthright to all.

Good luck getting the judge to agree with you.
