Samsung is a corrupt company and you need to stop buying their products, /g/. Their chairman has been convicted twice of bribing prosecutors and politicians, and both times he has been pardoned because he owns South Korea's media and newspapers. Their accounting books are dodgy at best, with intersegment sales being used to boost revenue numbers out of thin air. There's even an entire book detailing how Samsung is the most corrupt company in Asia. Your hatred of Apple has led you to support something even worse.

>>29656602 This is true, but you can limit the amount of money you give to them as much as possible.

>>29656489 We all know this. But we're supporting them for the same reason we support Kim dotcom, they have the same interests as us for now and are taking down the giant that's worse. As soon as Apple is dead and Samsung goes back to being an evil dick we'll drop them

Samsung makes up 20% of Korea's GDP, when their inevitable decline begins as Apple switches production to other OEMs, the poor Koreans will suffer.

>>29656489 Apple doesn't pay taxes in the UK. Apple altered the look of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the images they presented in court to make it look more like the iPad. They also are patent trolls, and are destroying the tech industry. Apple is far worse than Samsung.

Too bad they're the only company that offer a top-tier 'phone that respects the user. Until GooPhone start selling the i5 that is. How ironic that the fascist Chinese will be the ones that save the user from tyranny.

>>29656813 This is false, Apple's profit margins exceed 50%. Most of the money stays in the west, it is the only company in the smartphone/tablet business that does this. In fact, every other western company (Motorola, Nokia) are LOSING money, they keep nothing in the west.

>>29656870 none of it flows into the ecomony, it simply stays in the pockets of apple execs it's the exact same situation as in the industrial revolution when companies gave out shitty wages and kept all the money for themselves causing the economy to suffer apple does the exact same except instead of cheap american labor they use cheap chinese labor which is even more harmful

>>29656910 A patent troll is a non practicing entity. Apple tried to rely on design patents a long time ago, and they got their ass handed to them in court by Microsoft. So now they go after real patents to sue copycats. It's not rocket science.

>>29656900 Funny how Samsung also makes apple's monitors. btw, Samsung announced that they will stop making monitors for apple starting 2014. I believe they also stop making chips for apple sometime next year. Not to mention they recently increased the price for every chip and apple can't contest that, they have to accept the price increase.

>>29656792 Those type of things aren't unique to Apple. In fact, Microsoft is guilty of very similar practices. I'd say directly manipulating power to avoid personal prosecution is the stand-out example here.

>>29656952 1) Samsung did not increase the price of every chip, that was a troll article and you fell for it. It was refuted almost immediately. 2) Samsung is not going to "stop" making stuff for Apple, it is Apple pulling out. 3) There have been calls for Apple to move away from Samsung since two years ago and stop feeding them with their own innovation. 4) Apple's transition away from Samsung is just beginning, already they are starting to take control of factory equipment to own their own means of production. 5) This is catastrophic for Samsung as this was the only way for them to "innovate". Before cloning Apple's stuff they were stagnant and dying, their own executives labelled it a "design crisis" as they were unable to clone Nokia effectively.
