Apple decisively wins Samsung trial: what it means


Samsung was never, ever an innovator.

Samsung is a bunch of thugs set loose in the world's markets.

They built their company ripping-off Japanese, American, and German stereo and radio companies.

I don't know why Sony never stopped them from ripping-off their television technology, but they didn't.

It looks like Apple is the only company able to stand up to their copy-cat infringement culture.

Google ripped off Apple technology while Eric Schmidt was on the board and while Jobs naively mentored Larry Paige & Sergey Brin 

They stabbed him in the back as he was dying of cancer.

Andrew "Android" Rubin was an ex-Apple employee who reportedly stole iOS X source code that he eventually used to get his position with Google.

Was this a harbinger or an omen for the Apple win above?

I was in the Apple Store at Keystone Crossing Friday after lunch surfing on an iMac, when I checked the Appleinsider site.

AAPL happened to be trading at the retail price for the first Apple computer, $666.66 at that moment.

I quickly clipped a screen grab of the ticker in the header and emailed it to myself
