Samsung pays Apple $1 Billion

Apple claims that Samsung is stealing Apples' ideas with phones, music, and tablets. Even though it was not Samsung that they were suing, Samsung being the biggest Smartphone makers said that they would take the heat and fight back for all the other smaller companies out there. Apple filed the case in the summer of 2012,  Apple had there lawsuit against Samsung trying to get $2.5 billion, Samsung also fought back, not asking as much but asking for $399 million. Some of Apples charges were dropped, and almost all of Samsung were dropped. It went around the news saying that they sent all the money in 30 trucks full of dimes, this story even though it was very funny was false. It started at El Deforma, a place that is known for making stories up.

 Apple also wants Smartphone companies to take off the market anything that has anything like the IPhone, IPad, or IPad. Doing this would and could destroy any other companies out there. It would cause them to have to take back millions of dollars and it would be a waist also. 

I believe that this whole thing is not right, there should be some patents. But some go to far, you need to have some competition out there. There has to be something out there that is different from everything else, it cant all look and do the same thing. So I think that Samsung should be able to keep everything that they have made, because in this generation there is not much out there that they have not done, so you should not be able to put restrictions on stuff, definitively not on technology. Change will always happen there is nothing you can do about it. It happens, and we have to live with it.
