    “built around what matters most to them and their lifestyle.”

    Samsung is EXPLICITLY SPAMMING this nonsense on other Apple websites. And now you guys report it for FREE?! That’s crazy.

    Send every one of them to prison.

      You are 100% correct. I come here for Apple news and rumors not to read about ScamScum and their Lactose Radio BS.

    Never again. Never again shall I listen to music without thinking of those terrible. “Got Milk” commercials.

  8. Can Samsung make a product or service without copying its competitors? Or must they copy something and call it the “next big thing” and say thats its already here.

    Please take a look at those buttons closely. Apparently when Apple threw out the visual style of iOS 6, Samsung dug through the trash and took the designs.
