where people explain that it's the carrier, not the phone
company, that configures the home page.
It may very well be that Samsung ships units out of the
factory configured exactly as stated, but the carriers
changed the home page.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In fact, not only does it not require photoshop, it does not require that the
attorneys presenting it in court even know how to ask whether the evidence has
been doctored.
In this case, say an Apple employee plays with a Samsung phone, changing the
apps on the home page and app drawer while the attorneys are not watching, and
hands it to the attorneys.
No, that's too risky. Jacobs would likely be double checking that kind of thing.
So Apple picks a phone from a company that makes Apple's story look plausible,
and gives that to the lawyers, and then shades what they tell the lawyers about
it.
Social engineering, as they call it.
There are other ways to do this social engineering thing, but this is one way
that is obvious to a number of people here.
Which is all serious fud, because what we have is the equivalent of a desktop
cluttered with apps that Samsung and the carriers have chosen as "most
likely to be convenient" for the customer.
I hated MSWindows for doing that to me, way back from '95. One of the reasons I
liked the old Mac was that Apple often didn't even put their own bundled apps on
the desktop. No aliases to AppleWorks, etc.
Well, okay, when you put the "Just Grandma and Me" CD in the CD drive
on the Performa that was bundled with, the icon would come up on the desktop.
But that's different.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

FWIW, my tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 with 7" display. It did not have Google
Search on any page and I had to manually add it to the home page. The icon for
it is a lower case g on blue background. This contrasts with the rectangular
search box, (with rounded corners) with the word "Google" on it, on my
Nexus One phone.
