The jury probably consisted of yuppies and hipsters.

The worst part?

Apple remains one of the South Korean company's biggest customers buying computer chips and, reportedly, screens.

Did Samsung clearly implement some of Apple's smartphone ideas in how their own line of smartphones work? Clearly. Should Apple enjoy copyright over such general ideas as the so-called "bounce-back response"? I don't think so. Are the damages fair? I don't think so. My concerns about Apple seeking a monopoly on the smartphone market are far greater than my concerns about Samsung cloning the iPhone, and this verdict, should Samsung be forced to comply with it, would set Apple's #1 competitor in the smartphone market back by a good one billion dollars.

For the record, I own an iPhone 3G.

This wouldn't have been a problem had Samsung not outsold Apple in trrms of smartphones in the last quarter.

I own a Samsung phone.
