Lets be clear, a billion dollars is not just a "round of drinks" to either company

Let's be clear..........it is.

How do you figure that? These are publicly owned companies. 1 billion may not hurt the bank too much but its a LOT of money to give to a competitor...

enough room in the marketplace for everybody to be winners....except windows phone

but as a guy who preordered his iphone 6 plus sunday(probably won't get mine until November ) and has been with both IOS and Android there is enough win for both sides...no need to throw shade at each other

"In the context of the smartphone sales though, and in particular in the context of Samsung's larger business, it's still a drop in the bucket."

While a billion dollars sounds like a major victory, the sum represents a drop in the bucket for both Apple and Samsung.

And it's not just those articles. I distinctly remember the tone of various blogs and sites after the Apple v Samsung decision was handed down pretty much scoffing at the sum because everyone deemed it paltry.
