Apple isn't dying. The tablet market isn't stable yet, so we can't draw conclusions.
If you want to see a different perspective, read this:
Apple sold 5.7 million iPads in the U.S. last quarter, court docs show. Samsung sold 37,000 Tabs
What is funny about the story is the fact that they were wrong. The numbers were for the tablets that were infringing, not the total number of tablets that Samsung sold in the US. The update did funny things to the perceptions of the people commenting on the story. First they were sure that Samsung was fluffing their worldwide sales numbers because they obviously only sold 37k tablets in the US, and they couldn't have sold more in the rest of the world since the US has the biggest market. After the update they are convinced that the 37k number is false because they don't want to pay too much to Apple for the infringing products.
Bottom line: these are people who will always consider Apple to be king.
