You got in great yesterday, up today as well but I would be careful at this point if I was you. Looks like last week's resistance is this week's support. I would be booking the profits on those puts today/right now. Just got through the descending resistance.
Edit: High of the day might be broken very soon right now, good chance of seeing Apple run once that happens.
WAIT
You're telling me Samsung infringed when instead it's equally plausible that Apple design was shaping consumer demand, resulting in Samsung designing what consumers wanted?
If you know ANYTHING about the whole smartphone game, you know consumers go nuts on Apple design. That's what consumers want. There ain't nothin' wrong in giving consumers what they want.
If you look at that graph, theres 3 years between Samsung and Apple's design. In those 3 years, the iPhone defined the market. They set records and set the standard for what a phone should be, and what acceptable phone design is.
Samsung didn't do nothing.

in other news: apple is sued for vehicular homicide
I think Samsung has a huge advantage over Apple going forward. Even if you give Apple credit for suing them which will be appealed and go on for awhile, in the end Samsung has alot of pieces to put out tons of products using Android and Windows. The product cycles will be so much faster than the iphone/ipad that Apple struggle like it did before when Windows consumed the marketshare for the desktop.
The Samsung S3 is pretty slick and with all these new laptops they will flood the marketplace with design ideas. It's not over for Apple but like I've read other comments "if your business has to rely upon patents to be a successful business your in trouble". Not that this is entirely true for Apple IMO but it's not good business period.

Oh, Samsung is coming out with a nice new laptop!
I just read about this.
I'm looking forward to Windows 8/Surface. I like the idea of a tab/workstation hybrid. Once I see the specs/price points I may consider this over the Surface.
I get your point.
But look at every desktop and laptop produced over the last 10 years. You can take any two laptops from any OEM's and they'll look almost identical from 3 feet away.
My take on this case is that Samsung probably crossed some lines, I think Apple takes things too far, but really I don't know enough about IP patent law to have a strong opinion one way or the other.
I own an Iphone and I like a lot of the new Samsung phone's better, I'll probably pick up the next Note when it comes out.
I've owned Ipad's and I like my Galaxy Tab 2 better. It's just way less restrictive and I personally prefer it.
From a consumer point of view, I like to see innovation and competition. More variety, more options, more competitive pricing.

Everyone knows that Apple came up with the idea of stores. :banana_sml:
The Apple stores' employee training manual got leaked. I look forward to getting a copy of this, and studying it from a marketing perspective.

Samsung just paid the fine in a HILARIOUS manner:
Samsung pays Apple $1 Billion sending 30 trucks full of 5 cent coins
Samsung pays Apple $1 Billion sending 30 trucks full of 5 cent coins
That is the coolest thing I've read all week. :smokin:
People will believe anything. Just think it through and you know it's bullocks.
Ok so maybe it didn't happen lol:
Not really: Samsung didn’t pay Apple $1bn in 5 cent coins | Firstpost

Of course it didn't. where the fuck do you think they'd have gotten that many nickles that fast? Or why would they have paid that quickly? Where was the appeal?
One's head should be used for more than pounding nails into one's hovel.
