No worries. As it turns out, it sounds like the article in the Korea Times might be outright wrong about severing the contract.

You're out of your mind. Market cap is a measure of what investors think your company will make in the future. How is a company that had to be bailed out not too long ago, is billions of dollars in debt, and is expected to make a $4 billion dollar loss this year going to have a market cap that high? Hmm, let's look around. I see 950 billion+ market cap on that page for Sony. Hold on, is this even measured in dollars? No, you don't say...
That's right. That's 170.55B in YENS, not dollars.
Just for your info, 170.55B in yen is approximately 2 billion in US dollars.
Also, $170.55 billion is approximately the market cap for Samsung electronics, the largest IT company in the world. I highly doubt SHARP is anywhere close to Samsung's market cap.

No one has the money to buy Samsung.

How so? Samsung is making garbage profits by selling Apple screens. There will be other companies that'll want a piece of Samsung's screen technology. Samsung will have no problems finding buyers.
Go ahead and buy your iproducts with that 2nd rate Japanese/Korean crap tech with poor reliability. You Apple fanboys/girls deserve it.
HAHAHAHA. It's hilarious. That guy thought Sharp's market cap was $170B US dollars.
Sharp is bleeding right now. They're having massive layoffs. They're going to be have a multi-billion dollar loss this year as you mentioned.
I guess Apple's not worried about their LCD supplier
----------
Haha are you serious?
At first, it was cute and funny. Now, it's just ridiculous.
So now you agree LG and Samsung are pretty much par on a product matrix scale, that LG and Samsung have pretty much the same corporate organisation as far as their devices, electronics divisions vs their display and semi-conductor divisions goes...
Yet, LG makes sense but Samsung still doesn't ?
No sorry, LG makes about as much sense as Samsung as an Apple supplier. They are both pretty much in the same markets, competing in the same ways as Apple. If one doesn't make sense, neither does the other.
LG is garbage 2nd rate Korean junk with garbage tech.
Samsung is 1st rate Korean tech that blows other Korean technology and all the Japanese technology combined.
Samsung's R&D budget for 2012 is higher than LG's, SONY's, SHARP's, Panasonic's combined.
LG and all Japanese CE companies are inferior junk. They're perfect for Apple fanboys.
You do realise that the last two generations of Dell displays all use LG panels?
Points of interest:
Dell U2211 * (widescreen) 22" 8 ms (g2g) eIPS (LG.Display LM215WF2) panel.
Dell U2410 * (widescreen) 24" 6 ms (g2g) H-IPS (LG.Display LM240WU4-SLB1) panel.
Dell U2711 * (widescreen) 27" 6 ms (g2g) H-IPS (LG.Display LM270WQ1) panel.
Dell U2311 * (widescreen) 23" 6 ms (g2g) eIPS (LG.Display LM230WF2) panel.
Apple iMac 24 (widescreen) 24" 12 ms (g2g) H-IPS (LG.Display LM240WU2-(SL)(B1)) panel.
Apple LED Cinema Display (widescreen) 24" 14 ms H-IPS (LED) (LG.Display LM240WU6-SDA1) panel.
Apple M9177 (Widescreen) 20" 16 ms S-IPS (LG.Philips LM201W01) panel.
Apple M9178 (Widescreen) 23" 16 ms S-IPS (LG.Philips LM230W02) panel.
Apple M9179 (Widescreen) 30" 16 ms S-IPS (LG.Philips LM300W01) panel.
Don't panic.
Are you serious. Apple can design one phone and one laptop.
Samsung is leader to consumer electronics, appliances,world's #1 in LCD panels, has rights to designs of several processor architectures. South Korea is #1 in commercial ship building. SK/China combo can stop any raw material movement for any brand in the world.
South Korea is our friend, no one is going irritate South Korea for Apple.
After the scuff and manufacturing problems with ip5 my wife made a statement that she thinks Apple are getting to big for their boots.
She doesn't care about tech and is loyal to none of them yet she has owned every iphone since the 3G.
Personally I think she's right.

Right, but the war was caused because Google stole Apple patents. It wasn't revenge, Jobs felt he needed to protect Apple's interests and send a message. Here you had a former Apple board member in Eric Schmidt who sat in during the development of the iPhone then leaves Apple and soon after what do you know -- his company Google now has a very similar smart phone too. When there is massive theft you call the cops, right?
And as for Jobs actually spending every cent of Apple cash -- c'mon we all know that is hyperbole. Not even Jobs could convince the BOD to do that. At some point, if the bills were getting to the point of diminishing returns they'd have gone to him and said "enough."
Uh ? Google didn't steal any Apple patents, as you cannot steal patents unless you have an insider working the USPTO that is willing to change the ownership of said patents.
Apple still owns all their patents. Maybe you meant "Google infringed Apple patents", in which case, why hasn't Apple sued Google then ? Where's the verdict ? What patents as Google infringed on ?
Frankly, comments like these just show how much Apple has succeeded in their media campaign to spread FUD about the actual lawsuits.
Not to mention all the patents Apple themselves "stole" (again, you can't steal patents, that's a ludicrous notion) from compagnies like Creative Labs, Klausner and other players in their iOS devices and other offerings... No one went to "war" over those. Is Apple playing victim and being overly dramatic ?
Lol, you think Samsung is just some sweat shop factory in Korea? I hate to burst your sheep bubble but Apple don't have enough money to buy Samsung.
My, my. Aren't we being literal today. Forgive me for my colloquialisms, but sorry, all my patent atty pals (yes, as in member of the Patent Bar) use the term "patent theft" regularly, so if its OK with them, it OK by me too.
If you want to insit on using improper terms, fine, but then address the other points. You're accusing Google of "patent theft", but yet, even Apple has never done so. What are you using to justify this accusation then ?
You are not a BMW (3%) when a significant portion of the population owns an iPhone (30%+).
The "coolness" factor of owning an iphone died a long time ago. Not when almost all my friends have one, and I have to set a custom ringtone so I dont keep reaching for my phone to check if i have a sms. Ironically, if you want to stand out (like when iphone 1 came out), get one of the new Windows 8 phones, onlookers will be curious.
Isn't the Bang&Olufsen Serene phone made by Samsung? The iPhone is like the Toyota Camry of the electronics industries.

There are a lot of court cases between Apple and Google and Google/Motorola

" Apple has also continued to add new products to the list of devices accused in that lawsuit. Three weeks ago, Apple added the Galaxy S III, Note and Note 10.1. It appears that Apple has already served its detailed infringement contentions concerning the S III and Note, but still needs to do so for the Note 10.1. Apple furthermore notes that "the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system" will become one of the accused technologies. That is interesting in light of Google's recent statement on the jury verdict in the first Apple v. Samsung litigation, where Google claimed that "[m]ost of these [patent claims] don't relate to the core Android operating system". I commented on the "core Android" question in a recent post."
yup i am jailbroken so i can do anything..lolol I dont mess wit boring non jailbroken IOS devices
No car analogy applies to Apple, because no car manufacturer forces you to buy only their petrol, drive only on their roads with passengers that they must approve, to destinations that no other manufacturer's cars can go to. Although to be fair, the ride ain't too bad!

Evidently not.
You should have stuck with this part, because the rest of your analogy doesn't make any sense.
How does Apple accomplish that? I have an Ipad 3 but a Samsung Infuse. I have a Dell PC and no Apple mac.. It seems I am o.k. and no Apple enforcement squad break into my house and point a gun at me and telling me to buy Apple product or else? There are plenty of folks who does not want to use Apple products and they are fine. Have you look at any IDC survey at all? in 2Q apple smartphone growth is 25% but the overall smartphone market growth is 42%. Apple can't even keep up with the underlying growth of the market because of the high price point.. How does Apple force consumer to do anything that they don't want.
Thanks for the obvious post. Clearly we've read the latest update - at least those that bother to read full threads. So really what's your point in bringing up a post that was made pre-update?
