EU has always been strange at decision making. But anyway with Apple money, EU can pay its debt.

Anyone surprised that apple is appealing even when their core patents has just been invalidated? Bring it on, life would be boring without apple constant stream of negative publicity.

samsung have been caught before in lcd screen price fixing. so this is not a surprise. they have so much cash right now they can afford to pay all the fines that are or will be impose against them.

while that may be true, i dont think its about whether they can "cover" they're dirt because they have the cash to do so........but more so about justice being served to even the "smallest" of errors.... because if you let the small things go then you will allow people to feel as if they can get away with big things as well

EU went against M$'s Internet Explorer to give a push to dying Opera. So who knows this could just be something with Nokia in mind ... conspiracy theory :D

Hadn't even thought of that... I could see the EU cater to Nokia the same way the US caters to Apple, and South Korea caters to Samsung.

I do think Samsung screwed up and overstepped their bounds, but that's a conspiracy theory banner that just might have a pole with a good foundation.

So, Samsung drop their attempt to ban Apple products, and Apple respond by putting their attempts at banning Samsung products into overdrive.
