Apple Gets Trolled by Samsung

[DingoDoom]

Well we all know the story of how Samsung has to pay Apple 1 billion because the court ruled against them for infringing on 6 of Apples "patents". Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee responded by sending 30 trucks full of 5 cent coins to Apple headquarters in California with a cheeky message to boot.

" You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that?s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law.

A total of 20 billion coins, delivery hope to finish this week."

Edit: Pfft well so much for that sensationalist story. Allegedly this story is a hoax, though it would have been excellent if it were true :/

A few years ago, a college kid in michigan paid his full tuition in 1$ bills, over 25000$, and they did a news story on it, and I laughed and laughed. But now its all like chicken pot pie with charmin ultra strong as filling.

If only life really was this awesome...

Samsung should totally do that, provided the payment hasn't gone through yet. I would've loved to see Apple has some downside to this ridiculous win they've got.

The sheer amount of trucks for those 20 BILLION coins.

Also, I doubt there are 20bn coins in existence.

I can dream. Especially if they said "screw this" to the trucks and just sent it via catapult.

At 2.5 grams per nickel, you're also looking at a ludicrous amount of weight of 50 billion grams, or 50,000 metric tonnes.

I was thinking that this was too awesome to be true. Turns out it was. Oh well, maybe this hoax will give Samsung some ideas.
