    That isn't much of a fine for a huge company like Samsung, that is almost certainly less than the head of Marketing bonus for the year....

                  Anonymous, 24 Oct 2013Its not all about the money, its the reputation.Completely true. The most important asset a company has is it's reputation. If Samsung loses their reputation, their sales will massively decrease until they fold.

                    I always knew this.. My s4 gave me like such a horrible time, my HTC one x was a gem of a phone compared to s4..

                    I bought a samsung phone for the first time after many yrs and I had a horrible experience.. Don't ask about their customer service..

                    Samsung is not worth half of what it has been portrayed as..

Im no samsung hater, but dont defend a company whovwere already caught twice and,accusing others of doing it also without any legal basis,or evidence

                                      Rule #1: when you get caught, don't ever admit it. That's would be the next news, "Samsung denies accusations" in 5 4 3.....
