This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way.
the funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send the creators of the iPhone their billion dollars in the way they deem best.
This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept all the coins.
Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.
You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that’s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law.
A total of 20 billion coins, delivery hope to finish this week.
Let’s see how Apple will respond to this.
You didn’t think this could be real right? but hey! you loved it

Apple didn't invent the cellphone.
Never really cared about either of those companies before. But now I hate Apple.

Hey, before you say that samsung copied apple's genius idea of iphone...why no visit CHINA for instance...the already copied the whole phone...but apple cant sue them ...why? because china never signed anything about patency. They only offer cheap labor cost. Why dont you check your iphone NOW, see at the back, Designed by Apple California Assembled in CHINA, see the other 3rd world countries china have been selling all those craps but Apple never said a word... now these koreans tried their best for all the consumers. And theyve been bullied by apple for patency?? Well using a hybrid ford has the same principle with the hybrid toyota but they aint suing each other. I guess apple's afraid for a competition. Apple have been monopolizing the consumers on buying their products. Koreans were the only person who has GUTS to face the big apple...then HTC - taiwan, LG, MOTOrolla, etc..followed.. now sue everyone of them to get their SO CALLED PATENT.

No matter which brand dominates the market, we all know Apple is the first to come up with all the designs, technical specifications, apps and etc. Then Samsung mimic their ideas and improvised on them. Smart cunt move.
