Samdung... Oh, the industrial copycat on a,massive scale
Samdung? I like it. Hope it wasn't a typo.

I find it curious how one of the tiles, for a song shared with you, has a play button. Would you be able to just play the song directly from the tile without opening the app? Would be handy.
The entire industry has been moving towards tiles, less chrome, and outright minimalism for more than a year and in this case the resemblance is (at best) superficial. Don't people have better things to do with their time than obsess about such trivial stuff. BTW, in as much as there is any resemblance at all (which is really not much) how do you know that Samsung has not licensed things from Microsoft? Samsung and Microsoft have a relationship that is much longer than that with either Google or Apple. At its core though, why does anyone really care about this stuff unless you are a patent attorney or the holder of a relevant patent or copyright?
I've been poking around these forums for awhile, and I've come up with a few archetypes for different posters on these forums.
You are the antagonist. Nearly every single post is you playing devils advocate. I'm not saying it's an entirely bad thing... Just an observation I've noted from your past posts.
I wouldn't call devil's advocate an antagonist. That would be a ****** or a troll. There are many other members here who argue for the sake of arguing. His post did present some good points and in the end, that's what forums are all about. Being the hot-head Cuban that I am, I might be bashing him later. If he says something stupid of course.
Considering that widgets have been able to do that on Android for over 3 years now, I suppose you would be able to do it here.
Scroll through his posts and you'll see what I mean. He does generally back up what he's saying. But he's never putting himself in the position of protagonist.
It really doesn't look close.

I can't speak for the new UI on Samsung's phones, but the "Magazine UX" they're coming out with for the "Pro" versions of the Tab and Note tablets looks like a pretty blatant ripoff of Live Tiles.
Are there rectangles with info on them? Yes. Does it look anything like WP or W8? Not even close.
