Do you really think that, without the USB connector being nearly identical, that Apple wouldn't be taking them to court?

I had posted this on another thread too, however, this discussion around Samsung's design "independence" is ridiculous. Unless one is a lawyer, it's fairly obvious that they ripped off Apple's designs, take a look at this link:http://www.reddit.com/tb/kr14a

The point is that if they rip off the cable and port, which is easy to detect, it's hard to believe that they stopped there when taking inspiration from the most successful product in the space.

USB and PDMI are standard connectors. What part don't you understand? And, btw, how do you rip off the cable?
