              Btw.. Did you know that your innocent boy Samsung has dragged nVidia to court to get them banned in the US?

              It is all everyday work for big corporarions.. So stop crying fanboy..

                That's kinda funny. When Apple want the same from Samsung for example, then their prices are insanely high.

                To take an example. Apple earlier wanted 30 dollar from Samsung for each Android phone sold and 50 dollar for each Android tablet that Samsung sold for the patent thingie that didn't happen.

                Maybe Apple should look at their own prices before they cries about prices others want from them.

                          Just another excuse for the Apple haters to moan,about stuff they dont know what there talking about. I look at it this way. Apple are a big player in the industry. And make awesome and desirable products. Fair play to them. People are just jealous.

Why Apple should only pay for the royalty on the cost of the chip only is beyond me. Your phone is worthless without a 3G/4G connection. Thats why its based on entire profit made on the product.

                                        People need to stop buying from this thief sh**y company, So it can get out of business once and for all. we don't need companies that steals ideas from others and keep it only for them. And want other companies out of business. Apple is abusing the system and they are using the court as a business tool to get other companies out of business. Apple is holding the industry back arguing over rectangle, curved edges and wedge shaped laptops. Its absolutely ridiculous.
