 p.1 #2 · Apple vs. Samsung Lawsuit | |
It's best not to get involved. Big corporations sue each other all the time... and when that's not happening some are fined (big time) by the government, or subject to class-action lawsuits. More than likely a fair settlement/judgement is made without the losing party going out of business. The idea, IMO, is to cripple, not kill one another. I think the courts want to avoid a complete loss of government tax revenue by avoiding a judgement so severe as to put the other major corporation out of business, but again, that's just my opinion. Apple is just looking out after their own interests if they can prove patent infringement. Samsung might lose this one, but like, who cares. Feel sorry for the consumer who will eventually have to pay more for their pricey products. The corporate world is fierce.
BTW: A replacement iPhone 4S still under two year contract, but not officially reaching 18 months of service, cost $700 unless you signed up for AT&T insurance (recommended). BTDT.

Let's put it this way, this topic has become more interesting and relevant than a lot of stuff on "Miscellaneous". Samsung, the leading manufacturer of Android phones, might be ordered to recall their current inventory from the shelves thus affecting a lot of sales pitches (see link). Sure, you get to keep your Android phone, but there is talk that if Apple has its way it will be forever covered by a brown paper bag.
