Because the poster is an Apple fan and as far as they are concerned they ONLY want Apple as an option, I mean, even if they were the only option to buy they could hardly put prices up any higher.
As for the story, good for Samsung, although they have been offered a bit of a lifeline with the patent being in disrepute, so we will have to see what happens.
I'm sure Samsung will counter sue on something and then I will be stating good for Apple in what ever they do.. it's the best thing in these rather pathetic business practices. Capitalist first world problems and all that
Isn't American law so funny when you have this:
Notably, Apple's claim of a pinch-to-zoom patent was denied last July by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which followed a preliminary rejection in December 2012.
Yet Apple can still sue people over the patent...
