What worries me the most is Samsung’s legal battle over patents with Apple, now going to SCOTUS.

Breibart Radio this morning had someone on breaking down the ramifications brilliantly.

If Apple wins, it opens the precedent for any large corporation to sue any company, large or small, claiming “patent infringement”.

Most of these companies won’t want a long drawn out suit, will most often agree to a settlement to the larger plantiff. The large company, if it loses, won’t be impacted much if it does indeed lose in the end.

And left’s not forget which political party is tight with Apple.....

Great and scary post. And yes, Apple is far to the left.

Corporations and elitists are running the country. That’s BAD.

Thanks for the heads up on the lawsuit.

The SCOTUS took the case?

The sad thing about all this is that there is no other phone that compares with the Note line. I have had three of them. After having one you would never want to go back to the being chained to I-Tunes and the restrictions of the Apple OS.

I was just getting ready to skip the 5 and purchase a 7 but I think I will just stay with my 4 for a while longer. With the Samsung phones you can flash the ROM and put the 7 OS on it anyway so I think that is what I will likely do. I like the removable flash card and battery anyway.

Samsung's business model was and still is to copy successful products of innovators and flood the market with knock off copies as quickly as possible until forced to stop. They did this to Pioneer in stereo receivers with exact look alikes down to the knob placement and designs, Dyson vacuum cleaners, and Apple phones, even duplicating the packaging of the phones and tablets, the design of the charging cables, the charging bricks, and even the icons! The evidence was a 125 page Samsung internal memo from upper management to their design engineers explicitly instructing them exactly what changes had to be made to their Galaxy phone to make it just like the iPhone to be a successful product, down to detailed changes on each screen! That's why Apple sued. . . on dozens of infringed patents which Korean American Judge Lucy Koh, in the interests of simplifying the trial, cut to just six.

The Cult of Mac used a tongue-in-cheek approach to Samsung's claim that "they were not copying Apple" by showing Apple's product photos side by side with Samsung's copies:
