Samsung Pays Apple $1 Billion Sending 30 Trucks Full of 5 Cents Coins This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in 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 the creators of the iPhone their billion dollars in the way they deem best. This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept all the coins. 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, delivery hope to finish this week. Let’s see how Apple will respond to this.
Google's android will be safe. The latest version (4.1) has anything apple related removed. Plus, if Apple's going to play that game, so will Google. They are bringing a patent lawsuit against Apple. http://m.techcrunch.com/2012/08/18/...-location-reminders-email-notifications-more/ Either way, I like both iOS and android. I have an iPhone 4s, and have been thinking about getting an android tablet. Just to have the variety of both os's.
Finally someone who isn't mind controlled like Apple. Apple hasn't created much they just patent everything that they make BASED on others work that major companies leave un-patented for collaborative building!
Infact in 1996 Steve was Quoted as saying ""We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas."
Windows...confusing? It's the most simple OS on Earth and it's good for gaming, Mac is only good for some stuff, and Ubuntu all the way.
apple isn't confusing windows is- WINDOWS cant run Mac Software but on a mac u can go from running on OS to the other in a few clicks of the mouse, now tell me that is confusing.
I don't like Apple because of their terrible (and stolen) products and suing anyone who makes a better product that uses something that they "own". I guess I hate them mostly because of their shrewd legal practices, that in all honesty aren't fair and hypocritical, seeing how most of their products are just knock-offs of other, previously unsuccessful products. Found this gem on Reddit.
