If it's similar to Apple "popularizing" the GUI "invented" at Xerox then all power to Apple. Certainly, Apple took Xerox's ideas and ran with them, but the results went far beyond what Xerox had made. Microsoft simply took Apple's ideas and made a shoddy clone. See any similarity?

We -- at best -- stand on giants' shoulders. Making the facile argument that Samsung got stuff from Apple just like Apple got stuff from Xerox is skipping over very important details.
