Samsung we are sorry.

What kind of stupid question was that, haha??? :nutkick:
While I've never been one to be on the Apple Hate Cider, I'm really glad this was thrown out. The patent trolling has become absolutely ubsurd, and in the end, it only screws the consumers. More competition drives growth, lower prices, and more options for us.
Apple ordered by U.S. court to reveal iPhone profit margins
[INDENT]Apple won its recent U.S. patent case against Samsung, but the company may have to pay a price by revealing key profit details about the iPhone.
Judge Lucy Koh has ordered Apple to go public with information about its sales, earnings, and profit margins on the iPhone. As a corporation, Apple does report unit sales on its various products each quarter. But it stops short of divulging how much profit it makes on each iPhone.
Apple has maintained that revealing such information would benefit its competitors. But apparently Koh didn't buy that argument.[/INDENT]

Hence his question, "why aren't the US courts fair like this?"
