That jury looks as if they've stepped out of the 90's...

Better that way....no bias lol

They are easily influenced by self interested idiots like that one guy in the previous jury. They really need to get knowledgeable people in juries instead of random people.

You look weird, totally out of place.

I see what you did there.

I think the US legal system is flawed and bias if they show apple devices on a court instructions video.

Thinks for a moment Samsung has many patents too and should they be shown on any court instructions video? The answer is no as well.

This would be the same thing if Apple were in a Korean court, with a Korean jury. There would be a video showing Samsung. It's home field advantage. Don't fight in court if you can't handle it lol.

You want a fair fight, you want facts to reign and not a personal allegiances. You don't need apple in the video.

In the corporate world, there are no things as fair fights. This isn't the 8th grade playground.

Welcome to the real world.

But this takes place in a court of law. Where its supposed to be fair and impartial . A court of law is not the corporate world.

This is not the corporate world. And Judge Koh's actions are extremely questionable.

Imagine a murder trial, with an African-American defendant. Now imagine the jury being forced to watch a video explaining the actual qualifications for murder and the suspect on the video is African-American. In what justice system would this make sense? Not in the United States.

How is this not being seriously looked at? This is a pretty blatant act of injustice and I have not seen something this outlandish in a while.

Too bad both sides are acting like it's a kindergarten playground.

I guess a hypothetical wrong makes a right.

Sauce its Apple that start the lawsuit. You really believe Apple should be the only player in the mobile phone business?

One store to do all your fried chicken, one store for pizza, one for cars..etc. Samsung may appear strong now. Soon someone with better ideas better deals will lead.

Open competition ensure a better and fair deal for all consumer.

Mr. Joey, because someone "started" a law suit, the other side doesn't have to accept. They can pay a settlement fee and move on.

Lol what? So if someone starts a fight you think the other side should let them beat you up and move on? Of course you fight.

That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard on phonearena and that is saying a lot.

29 was a continued response to 11.

Example A for the less educated like yourself: Apple came to a settlement with the public against a class action lawsuit against Apple that claimed Apple had revoked rights to fix/support those with water damaged devices. Apples water sensors were faulty and to avoid a big trial and lose a ton of money (AS SAMSUNG IS DOING RIGHT NOW IF THEY LOSE), Apple agreed to a settlement, which comes out cheaper for their pocket.

47. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)

Speaking of the less educated.....how is that even remotely the same? Apple settled because they know they should and would lose...otherwise they wouldn't settle.

In this case there is no way Samsung should lose and all the claims are sketchy. You do not settle in that case. It's common sense. Of course Samsung made a mistake and underestimated the massive US company politics here but in no way they should take it up the ass. I don't know what kind of screwed up world you live in but taking it up the ass is not the educated way. Far from it....lol

Samsung has been far from winning this fight from the beginning. A couple appeals and continuations but they are already ONE BILLION in debt if this case goes sour for them, which most likely will. Samsung (unlike that Apple example I gave) doesn't think they can lose. It's a d*ck measuring contest with them now and they chose the wrong choice.

54. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)

The one billion was ridiculous and absolutely makes a farce out of the USA jury/ legal system.

Do you honestly believe that the high powered legal team suggested that they settle and Samsung told them to F off? They didn't settle because Apple had no business getting more money than a settlement offer.

43. joey_sfb (Posts: 6538; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)

+1 on 'that is saying a lot.' LOL!

Except the Korean government was fair to Apple and this court isn't fair to Samsung. Typical US bulls**t.

South Korea banned all sales of the iPhone (and Blackberry) until 2009. There was no patent dispute, it was solely to protect Korean phone manufacturers like Samsung and LG. Still think that's fair?

48. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)

Samsung and LG didnt really have a smartphone market there until after 2009. So the damage to Apple and the others were pretty much negligible.
