“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”
– Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part II (1974)
For at least a week, in IT news, we always hear about Apple suing Samsung about its violence in patents. Two of them are Samsung Galaxy S form is like iPhone, and Samsung Galaxy Tab form is like iPad (Apple said they’re exactly same). I’m not about to list all the patents are, but I want to tell the funniest story on it.
As we know, most of Apple products have ‘Samsung’s Soul’ on it. We can see Processor chip A3 and A4 that are manufactured by Samsung, Touch panel on iPad and iPhone, the new Slim SSD on the upcoming MacBook Air, etc. etc.
Regarding on it, Samsung, acting like a troller, responds to sue Apple back. Funnily, it seems that Apple still use Samsung’s hand to manufacture some part of its products.
In 2007, Samsung was never seen as a potential threat, by Apple or even Nokia at that time. But, after taking advantages on manufacturing some Apple devices’ components, Samsung getting bigger and start to make breakthrough: Samsung Galaxy S. After Galaxy S released, Samsung is now a real threat on any smartphone manufacturers.
At least, this is the second time when Apple got something like this. It firstly took when Microsoft received Macintosh prototype, then Gates obsessed on creating some stuff called GUI. When Jobs realized that the Windows (first version that time) was imitating Apple’s GUI, Gates argued to Jobs by showing on how he made it, then Jobs calmed down. Then, Jobs realized again that Windows purely imitating Mac, after seeing it directly.
We’ll see, who’s win, Samsung or Apple?
