Ah never mind.\u00a0 This tuned out to be fake.\u00a0 Oh but I wish it was true.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

This is just TOO good.\u00a0 I read a story in thepaperblog <\/a>on how Samsung paid Apple in nickles!\u00a0 30 Trucks full! Seems the laywer forgot to include any clause about HOW to make the payments.\u00a0 Nice.\u00a0 Seems the way is not over between these two.\u00a0 Not sure how Apple will respond to this, they already went thermonuclear remember, so I guess its going to be tit-for-tat.\u00a0 However, look for some serious digs at Samsung in the next Apple adverts. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Excerpts from the story..<\/p>\n

This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived at Apple<\/strong>\u2019s headquarters in California. Initially, \u00a0the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that \u00a0they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way.<\/p>\n

This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple<\/strong> executives as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept all the coins.<\/p>\n

Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics,\u00a0told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of \u201cgeeks with style\u201d and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.<\/p>\n

You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that\u2019s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
