Apple might be winning the battle in the US.
But Samsung is winning the Global war.
It has a far larger market share in Asia, particularly China.

If Apple doesn't change its business model, it will lose out, big down the track.

Apple may not be fighting the right fights, but the thing they've persisted on (which is not necessarily going to continue) is innovating in such a manner that they make it new, fashionable, and desireable. Look at the iPhone - touch-screen and blam, everyone wanted one, and then all the companies made one.

Their salvation (or demise) will be in developing the next thing. Not milking what they have.

but they weren't the first touchscreen.
Its only because it had the i on it off the back of the success of the i-pod
I'll admit the i-pod was a fine device, better than most other mp3 playing devices, I'll not argue the fact at all. It was a slick piece of gear at the time.
But phone wise apple is on a high horse like they invented the fucking smartphone, they most certainly did not.

I didn't say they *invented it* but they did make it desired.

I read that with a wry smile. Basically "Samsung's stuff ain't as cool as our stuff according to British Law".

Which is largely irrelevant in a patent lawsuit.

Apparently apple have also invented earphones that aren't round but are shaped slightly to better fit the ear.

Thanks Gust, that was really interesting.

In fact I recommend everyone go watch the videos in order. They are really well done and I whole-heartedly agree with the message.

Everything is a Remix

Note that all the videos bar the last one have an chunk of extra info and examples after the credits.

This is a find from watching CGPGray's favorite videos montage, and I discovered CGPGray via worrywort through funny arse videos. Just wanted to advertise that because I didn't know there was so much fun learnable content on YouTube
