Anecdotal evidence not very worthy.
FWIW, without at least a small piece of a quote your post was absolutely worthless, since it contained no subject.

BTW, do ever plan to offer any evidence for your own opinions, or just harass people when they express their own opinions.

I do not like Apple's ethics neither, but I don't consider it when it comes to hardware and software quality, which I absolutely love as you may have guessed.

Did it backfire?

Quote:
According to Trip Chowdhry, the managing director of equity research at Global Equities Research, customers “rushed” to buy Samsung’s flagship phone after the verdict was announced.
Quote:
Two out of three Costco stores were completely sold out of the T-Mobile and AT&T versions of the phone. The third location had the T-Mobile version in stock, but was sold out of the AT&T version.

Apple never sued over that one. Just the copies.

Besides...what does sold out mean? How many did they have stocked in each store?

The point is that many are fed up with Apple's bully tactics, with litigation instead of innovation, so they went out in droves and bought Samsung phones in support.

I find it a might hard to believe that a lot of people went out and bought phones etc. just because they were fed up with Apple. Was there a sale or a scarcity in the supply? Do you know anyone who bought a Samsung product just because they did not like the verdict? Just curious.

This is nonsense. The number of people who know about what you would call "bully tactics," much less consider them to actually *be* bully tactics is statistically insignificant and made up of people who wouldn't be buying Apple anyway.

And calling what Apple is doing litigation instead of innovation is just doublespeak. Apple innovated. Samsung copied. Only in bizarro universe is Apple suing someone who copied their innovation *not* being innovative.

That's like a person whose prosecutes a thief being told to stop litigating and start earning money.

What innovation?

Too bad there are no sound attachments in the forum, this would go well with the soundtrack of "the twilight zone", this bizarro universe you speak of sounds pretty much like the Reality Distortion Field apple is so fond of.
