Side-Effect of the Apple v. Samsung Trial: Increased Sales for Samsung 385
New submitter jbernardo writes "There seems to be an interesting side-effect of the flawed jury verdict of last Friday — Samsung sales have surged. Even with the approach of the launch of Apple's new iPhone, the Galaxy SIII is sold out in many stores, and there is a measurable increase in sales, according to Trip Chowdhry, the managing director of equity research at Global Equities Research, cited in Forbes. Maybe Apple really managed to convince its customers that Samsung phones are equivalent or better, so they are being overcharged? Or is it a rush to buy the currently best smartphone in the market in case there is an injunction on its sale in the U.S. any time soon?"

What I take exception to is being called mentally deficient. I dont care if Apple's phone came with a hotline app straight to God himself. I wouldn't buy it.
An emotional response that completely overwhelms logic does indicate a mental deficiency of some kind.

Samsung phones have been determined to be equivalent to Apple's iPhone. So you don't have to settle for 2nd best anymore.

There are quite a number of people out there that would sooner die then choose Apple because of their shiny retarded walled garden approach to computing.
This is the first time I've ever heard of Apple being so good that even the deceased prefer Apple products. :-P
I think you meant than (comparative: "A is bigger than B") rather than then (adverbial: "Alice ate, then met Bob").

Keep referring to it as "G3" and Apple might have something to say about it. ;)

To be fair, they are Apple users. Or at least would be if they could.
