Was just released. This is a blatant rip off of HTC's Power to Give.

I don't even..

 

._. Well at least they're helping with BOINC..?

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

My opinion is meh. If it helps it helps. Not much to complain about it.

Cool, I'll check it out. Personally I don't like HTC's Power to Give. It's not well designed.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Don't you know that it's trendy to hate on Samsung now? Because of HTC....and Aluminum...And reasons....

 

I hated them long before HTC released the One. :(

Don't hate the company either just their chairman.

Just public appeal (if the public even knows what the hell it is), that's all.

Hey is not like I like Samsung myself, but this "rip off" allegations are getting a tad out of hand. I mean one would think that people would rally behind a good, noble cause but Samsung could invest 3 billion into cancer research and people would still immediately yell "Fucking rip off Apple did a similar donation first!"

I was ready to release the rage because your title made me think they copied something obvious to their devices.

But what is this shit. -_-

Wait so if company x does charity work by helping abandoned puppies, does that mean no other company can do that because they will rip off company x?  That's some Apple logic right there!

i agree with op it doesnt matter if its about folding or anything else its the fact they copied htc and they do this to every company if i remember correctly linus made a funny quote about samsung "oh yeah we have that too" basically whenever another company had something that samsung didnt have they would also get this like the finger print scanner from apple. i do agree that its a good thing but the point still stands and i do get where people are getting from it is for a good cause so it shouldnt matter.

I'm not sure if this thing works. I left it on for 7 hours yet my phone didn't even get mildly hot. HTC's power to give would turn it into a ball of inferno and that was a good indication that it was working.

Also for some reason it says I've contributed 17 hours? That's physically impossible.

our phone helps to compute something? they do not have supercomputers? 

 

one E7-8890V2 is better then 50 just released galaxy S5 lets calculate 1000 of this equals 50 000 GALAxy s5 and why they do this? i believe it's not about helping some calculations.

they are making something from mobile phones like in BATMAN remember? (Morgan freeman now rememberd? :D)

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.
