Trial of the century verdict is due

Samsung Vs Apple.

Apple says that Samsung copies its rounded corners and made lists bounce. They want $2.5 billion for it.

Samsung says that rounded corners already existed, and so did precursors to bouncing lists.

They also say that apple are using their technology (they basically helped design how the 3g system works) without paying them. They want $500million for it.

Apple is saying that yes they are using Samsung Tech, but they think they sould give something like less than a penny per device - and get $40 per samsung device for the rounded corners.

Samsung argue it is crazy to ask for such royalties for something so simple as rounded corners.

(and I hate Apple. Scumbags.)

And the jury has reached a verdict.

Question is who won. I'm feeling goosebumps - this trial (and the subsequent appeals that will obviously happen) will shape the future of the technology world.

It will also likely be appealed as vital samsung evidenec was not allowed - Samsung had released a phone with a large touchscreen and rounded corners before the ipone, but the jury were not allowed to be told about it because samsungs lawyers brought the evidence in too late - and Apple's lawyers have been allowed to say that samsung went rounded corners after the introduction of the iphone, even though its a lie.

Often in an american court, when an american company and a foriegn company go to court, the american company wins.

But we will see what happens here.

(Dont confuse this with the other "trial of the century2" - Google Vs Oracle where Google won.)

In a side note, the norwegian terrorist who murdered 77 people in cold blood has been sentenced. 21 years. Crazy.
