I'm so glad I ditched Apple products.
Did you boycott Apple because of the lawsuits? I can definitely see a lot of people getting fed up with this stuff.

I think the one that didn't researched is you. The $1 billion is for infringing, nothing more.
If they a willfully and knowingly infringed they can be awarded triple of the infringements.
Ah, and it won't be $3 billion. the triple damages and disgorgement of profits are more less $600 million

"The jury also concluded that Samsung willfully infringed on five of the patents... Because Samsungs infringement is identified as willful there is potential for punitive damages against Samsung. In this case, the statute would limit potential patent damages to three-times the damages calculated by the jury."
The damages at face value were about $1.05 billion. However, the triple damages (if awarded) still won't be $3 billion because only 5 of the 6 patents Samsung was found to infringe upon were deemed willful. So it depends on the damages associated with those 5 patents (still may be close to $3 billion).
Next time you come at me, please come at me correct.
Pelase, stop embarrasing yourself, if you clearly don't know nothing about what you're talking at least read what othes that have take time to inform themselves are saying.

Next time you come at me, please come at me correct ore shut yout mouth.
Everything I said was correct... LOL. You on the other hand still refuse to admit that the court ruled it was willful infringement. Furthermore, read your own article that you link as "support" for yourself:
Next time you come at me, don't and just shut up.
If anything the major win for Apple to be awarded over $1 billion should show that Samsung is indeed WILLFULLY and KNOWINGLY infringing upon Apple Products.
Apple should sue HP/Palm too and probably Microsoft when they launch the Surface Pro.
Moreover, technically the Samsung's stylus IS NOT A STYLUS, but a digitizer pen with Wacom technology. End of the case.
I'm so glad I ditched Apple products. This reeks of desperation and holier than thou attitude by Apple. Apple is now worse than Microsoft in the 90's.
soooooo what are you still doing on this site?

I told you- apple is dying. When Steve was alive, there were google maps, youtube and many other things - cooperation. Now apple just became a legal company. Lost and confused, with no direction. Yah, you can say that ''but the stock price is going up''. So? How does that reflect actual product use or need? Browse classifieds - many people want to get rid of their stuff, trade things, and there is a magic line in their adds: ''do not offer apple products''.
You've hit the bullseye with your assessment.This reeks of desperation and holier than thou attitude by Apple.
Here is an article that really brings it to the point:
Apple's Taking Its Eye Off the Ball

It's not only they they spend lots of time, money and effort on litigation, they are also not very successful with it as they lose most cases. They did won against Samsung with that $1.1b judgement.... but...
".... the $1.1 billion judgment isn't likely to hold up on appeal, and I wouldn't be surprised to see an outright reversal when technical judges get the case."
