Just when you think the unhappiness between each other is starting to cool down (as you can see by some reports of Samsung’s image doing just fine), out comes the claws with Samsung’s new ad campaign. Not helping anything.
Even Woz weighs in on how dumb this thing is getting. Check out his comments: The Woz weighs in on Apple-Samsung patent war: “I hate it”
Why the Apple vs Samsung $1 billion verdict is correct and should stand
This is an interesting take from an Android site no less. It’s a lengthy read, but provides a good perspective on the whole thing. I still say #boycott Apple.
