Lawsuits are a wide card for any company, unless the company knows they have done wrong, because it changes the business model. An interesting article was written in Reuters under www.breakingnews.com. In the article, the author writes Apple was not really going after Samsung, but a bigger competitor – Google. Why google? 68% of Smart phones sold ran on Google’s Android’s software and Samsung uses Android. One of the reasons why the high number is Google receives the bulk of their money through advertising dollars which allows for Android phones to be priced less than Apple. Fortunately for Apple, there is high demand for their phone and iphones are priced up accordingly.

There is always more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions.
