Dutch news website WebWereld.nl investigated the claim that Apple supplied the German court with tampered evidence, and their research is pretty self-explanatory. I don't have the time to translate the article for you, but the images speak about ten thousands words; Apple has changed the aspect ratio of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in a side-by-side comparison (while also showing Android's application drawer open instead of showing the home screen, but the article doesn't mention that). Come on, Apple. Update: As Gusar notes, Apple also Photoshopped the Samsung logo off the bezel. Real classy, Apple.

So far I've been pleasantly suprised by the lack of apple fanboy comments on this topic. My general point is that here lately on OSnews almost every single apple vs. samsung topic has had people commenting on them saying the same tired "Ipads are teh number 1 and android sucks"
I'm glad to see that even the apple users posting on this topic are saying that if apple altered the images that they shouldn't be allowed to use them as evidence.
so if I stepped on anyone's toes, sorry that wasn't my intent.

You know, it's funny...I frequent this site daily, yet I haven't seen the overflow of Apple apologists you claim to see. In fact, the overwhelming sentiment lately seems to be "Apple sucks for this dastardly shit" even from their admitted fans and former fans. Yeah, there are one or two fanboy holdouts, but they are quickly modded down and ignored as background noise.
Could it be that you are looking for a fight where there is none?

It's not just this one topic, there is a general loathing of Apple among OSNews readers and has been for a while. Just look at how many times Thom has been attacked for supposedly being an Apple fanboy despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. If anything I'd say the Apple fanboy is an endangered species around here.
Then you have people like me who still love the Apple OSes and even some of the hardware, but despise the company for shit like this. I'm not alone in that sentiment either.
so if I stepped on anyone's toes, sorry that wasn't my intent.
No problem here, I just wanted to share my viewpoint.

The day has finally come! Jolla has finally announced the launch device for its Sailfish operating system - and by god this is a looker. It's decidedly different from other phones out there, but it has good specifications and carries a relatively reasonably price tag - EUR 399, and it's up for pre-order today, shipping in the fourth quarter of this year.

Why does Google get so much credit in the technology industry? Why, despite the company's many obvious failings, do many geeks and enthusiasts still hold a somewhat positive view on the all-knowing technology giant? A specific talk at Google I/O this week provides the answer.

"Windows is indeed slower than other operating systems in many scenarios, and the gap is worsening." That's one way to start an insider explanation of why Windows' performance isn't up to snuff. Written by someone who actually contributes code to the Windows NT kernel, the comment on Hacker News, later deleted but reposted with permission on Marc Bevand's blog, paints a very dreary picture of the state of Windows development. The root issue? Think of how Linux is developed, and you'll know the answer.

This is one of those news items that's fun to write, fun to read, fun to comment on, and where no one will be able to say anything unkind. It's all just one big ball of awesome fluffiness. TuneTracker, the BeOS radio automation software, has just released something very special: TuneTracker System 5, the first version designed entirely and specifically for Haiku. In fact, it actually includes Haiku in the software package. Better yet, TuneTracker also unveiled several system-in-a-box products - which have Haiku and TuneTracker pre-installed.

Exactly twenty years ago, a document was published that played a huge role in establishing the web as we know it today. Twenty years later, and this simple and straightforward document is proof of an irrefutable fact: while closed technologies can change markets, open technologies can change the world.

Oh multitasking. That staple of computing that got thrown out the window with many modern smartphones. We got some rudimentary thing in its place - but even as multitasking on phone and tablets improves, its user-visible side remains cumbersome. Windows 8 has a neat implementation, and now it's time Android follows in it footsteps.

They're here! Whether that excites you or not remains to be seen, but the Galaxy S4, which will most likely become the best selling Android smartphone of the year by a huge margin, has been reviewed by all the major sites, and there's lots of interesting conclusions in there - although I think most of you will get the gist.

Nokia has posted its quarterly results for the first quarter of 2013, and just like the quarters that came before, there's not a whole lot of good news in there. The rise in Lumia sales still can't even dream of making up for the sales drop in Symbian phones, and when broken down in versions, the sales figures for Windows Phone 8 Lumias in particular are very disappointing. In North America, Nokia is getting slaughtered.

The day has finally come: Google has started shipping Google Glass to the lucky few early adopters. Now that it's shipping, Google has also unveiled a lot more about the API and the specifications of the device itself. While the company had already given out substantial details at earlier occasions, there are still a few surprises here.More Features »

It's always fascinating watching smarmy fanboy-prognosticators like yourself and the drooling fanboys themselves battle to see who can post first.
