I pray the appeals will go Samsung's way. I will never buy any apple product. In fact, when my Zune hd (xmas present from a couple years back) should eventually die, I would be happy to purchase a Galaxy Player as a replacement. Hell, I would rather get a no-name rinky-dink $15 mp3 player over an iGouge.

Just sue those Apple f*****s in downtown Seoul.
That ought to see things balanced up a bit.
(it's noteable that Apple couldn't get a win on this in the UK, Germany or Holland. They had to go to San Jose in the USA - their hometown)

When Apple was just abusing their own zombie customers, I actually approved...they get what they deserve for supporting apple...but now that Apple is attacking Samsung for making better products, by using patents that were clearly shown (in court) as being copies of prior art, well...let's just say if I had a working DeathNote, the first page would list Apple's entire senior staff and most of their lawyers (except the Woz...he is an oldschool hacker and I have a hard time believing that he supports all this).

That's true to the core... Samsung should have put in for a change of venue on that issue alone for the simple fact that they couldn't get a fair shake that that community would be biased.

As long as Samsung continues to make great products, I will make it a point to support them financially by buying their products if it's a close decision between them and another vendor. Regardless of how good Apple products might/might not be, I will not support them financially due to their actions against Samsung. I despise patent trolling, which is what Apple looks like it's doing here.

Or else what? Apple pays virtually no tax in the USA and the majority of its work is carried out overseas. Screw 'em. If they were contributing their share to the american community that's one thing, but they are just freeloaders and leeches who have somehow managed to attract a shedload of fanbois by selling them overpriced crap.
We once had a empire and it was led by an emperor then we had a kingdom which was led by a king. Now we have a country.

Pretty good joke... But like bogwart said, Apple avoids paying their fair share of taxes so I don't think the president would be smiling if that were the case.
On the other hand, IF that were Apple shutting down Reddit, kudos to one of their 'geniuses' finally getting an education.
Past that, Samsung should get their appeal in a new venue & settle for 25 billion in their counter suit. Just to make sure Apple feels it. Seeing as Apple likes to brag about it.

This was a patent case between multinational companies. They should have got half the jurors from Korea to level the playing field. May be even Korean origin people would also be ok.
From my own past eeperience of having lived and worked in Chicago for 7 years I can say that $$$ are the only thing that work in the US.
