Why lie, man? Just to "prove" some point? The iPhone was first demoed by Steve Jobs in January of 2007, the LG Prada was demoed in December of 2006.

One photo is not a demo. LG Prada first publicly unveiled Jan 18, 2007.

Why call someone a liar man, just to prove some point?

"One photo is not a demo."

So, now we are just degenerating to ye olde "No True Scotsman" defense. Face it, dude. Apple imitated and you fell for it. You've been told now crawl away with some dignity.

Hacker News commentary is turning into something I don't much care to read. (Including my own contribution here, ironcally.)

I'm not sure it's really turning into something terrible, we've just got some trolls running around this week. See tysonjennings remarkably racist, entirely undefended (and indefensible) post here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4262432

Or his post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4182402) where he rails against someone's anti-Google stance, while later taking on a similar (and perhaps more harsh) anti-Apple stance.

The ease of seeing a users comment history makes finding trolls so much faster. Now I just need a killfile...

You disagree with my statements now you're my own personal stalker? Resorting to some kind of mob mentality group think to rally support when rhetorical skills fail you is...weak. I can't help but notice that at least at this moment this is your only comment on this story so you don't even care about the subject at hand you just wanted to get a jibe in against me. You don't need a "killfile", you need help.

The fact that you care so much proves you're a troll.

Thanks for pointing out that first comment. It is a new low for any I've seen on HN thus far.

It warms my heart to see a thriving groupthink osmotically reproduce and grow.

Because warmed-over bro-backslapping Sailerisms sure don't stink of herd mentality, right? Aren't you late for your mutual-reinforcement MRA support meeting?

"January of 2007, the LG Prada was demoed in December of 2006." Yes, tysonjennings, this is correct.

Although, I hope you don't actually believe this is evidence that Apple "aped" the Prada.
