How is it stupid? Thank them for having faster-than-home data connection. I don't see you inventing such technology.
This seems a little ridiculous considering the phone isn't even out yet. I have an idea, wait until it come out and you can inspect it, and then make the decision.
So is Apple, they both keep adding newer devices to the dispute.

So is Apple, get over it.

That's what the article said... That's what Samsung is planning on doing.
I don't know the details... But this article states that it is ADDING iPhone 5 to the current pending lawsuit against the 4/4s. Since the 4/4s isn't an LTE device, I'm guessing this isn't the LTE lawsuit we are hearing about but rather something different.
I agree, as soon as the lawsuit threads was disappearing from the first page here Samsung goes ahead and ruins it for everyone.

LTE is a standard developed by multiple companies. Therefore, all related patents will be ruled FRAND and Apple would never have their products banned over it.
AFAIK, the bar for granting a preliminary injunction against selling the iPhone 5 would be quite high. That doesn't mean that Apple isn't in violation of any of Samsung's patents - I have no way of knowing that. But, either way, this move is expected in the never-ending back-and-forth legal battle.
FRAND or not, it seems that Apple is not paying license for it so their products can still be banned.
