    Default Apple V Samsung!

    Anybody following this? I checked on it yesterday and found out that Apple had been awarded by the jurors some 1.05 billion dollars on about 20 patents. But i refer you to this article right here. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/201...-factors.shtml and tell me this doesn't seem like they are being set up for a huge fall

    Blatant corrupted jury, or maybe they're cultist mactards? Apple's patent trolling should be handily shot down if there is justice, and software patents as a whole are a bunch of nonsense.

    I read an article yesterday that said Google is filing suit against Apple now for some major patents. If that goes through I feel Apple should be shaking in their boots.

    Apple has the cash to spare. At this point, they're just sitting back while their half-assed, but pretty products sell, sell...sell.

    This made my day.



    SAMSUNG PAYS APPLE $1 BILLION SENDING 30 TRUCKS FULL OF 5 CENTS COINS

    This morning more than 30 trucks filled up with coins of 5 cents arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said it was diverted to the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way.

    the funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send him to the creators of the iPhone its billion dollars as they deem best.

    This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives in the sense of the method that they need to apply for counting all that money, check if it is complete and try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept to receive that.

    Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.

    You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that’s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law.

    A total of 20 billion coins, deliver hope to finish this week.

    Let’s see how Apple will respond to this

    I know I already posted it in the hangout a week ago but it seems relevant.

    Edit: I don't hate Apple, or really any other company, but all successful businesses will use shady practices. That is part of why they are successful. If you aren't cheating you aren't trying.
