APPLE DID NOT COME UP WITH THE NAME CLOUD.

FFS.

It's a technology. There are dozens of services named cloud.

Mate. I read what you damn well wrote. And I asked you about one of the points.

Goddam simple.

Are you Phil G?

and once did I say apple invented the cloud? NO

If you have a look at the samsung chrome book and a apple macbook they look identical, when come to marketing they are going to be very similar. If you don't don't believe me have a look for your self.

They didn't come up with the damn name either. Yet Google shouldn't use it.

[Dissident]

I really dont care what they look like. I trust you were/are right. That was not what I was asking about.

quote me where I state that apple come up with the cloud. a little tip read before you post.

[Dissident]

I said NAME cloud.

You intimated that since Apple have iCloud that Google shouldn't call theirs cloud.

The one thing I don't like is it looks like they are trying to copy Apple or they want another lengthy legal battle. MacBook/ChromeBook, MacBook is a aluminium case with black key the samsung is a aluminium case (well it looks like) and black keys, Apple has the iCloud now google has the Cloud.

That sentence is saying that they are copying them too much

The last part is saying that

1. Apple has the iCloud
2. Now Google as the Cloud

For what possible reason would you write that if you are implying that Google are copying the name cloud.

(side note - they are NET books - that's the type of device they are - they are a bunch of companies using the "Book" suffix)

but what you are trying to say i'm saying isn't what I'm saying. I know google is going to use the "cloud" and many others use it, but when you put it together with others thing on the chromebook it seems as a mac rip off and too add fuel to the fire samsung have basically copied a mac in there design. I just expected that these 2 companies could of/would of done something different.

It doesn't change anything one bit when you combine it with the other facts.

They also call the thing with the letters a keyboard.

[Dissident]

a little tip read before you post.

I did. You clown.

I read what you wrote about Google using the name cloud adds to the fact they are copying Apple, since Apple have iCloud. And I didn't mis-read that. So don't start telling me that.

For me it doesn't really matter if they do copy them or not, actually it makes me glad as it means the next biggest mover in technology are trying to copy a product that I currently own. I just expected more from both companies.

I like the way you ignore that you were wrong

LOL.

Hi Phil

[kickinit]

I like the way you ignore that you were wrong

how am I wrong? I see similarities between the 2, just because you don't see it (well not that you don't see more the fact you want to try and argue) does that make me wrong?

[Dissident]

My point is that Google using the name Cloud means zilch to whether the devices are similar or not.

That's fact.

[kickinit]

My point is that Google using the name Cloud means zilch to whether the devices are similar or not.

That's fact.

so it has zilch do with if they are similar or not?

so apple has iCloud and google has cloud both a online storage, to me that make them very similar only difference is apple has a i in front of there cloud.

[HH3]

Samsung were making netbooks before apple...apple should probably come up with something original.

[RustyCage]

Seeing that there were Cloud services around before the iCloud, who did Apple rip off?

[Wedgie]

Apple ripped off the Gumeracha toy store as the Big Rocking Horse had an abacus for sale before Apple built their version of a computer. I also had 2 cans with a piece of string before the IPhone was though of. Can't Apple do anything original?
