So you’ve seen the hype all over every single tech website. Samsung is teasing everyone with the next Galaxy release. If you haven’t already you can view their teaser video which consistently shows the number 5 leaving people to speculate that their next device will be the Galaxy S5. We only have a day left so I thought I would keep the teasing going by leaving their video here.

Apple rewarded additional $290 million from Samsung
There is no question why Steve Jobs despised and hated Samsung. They practically stole Apples ideas and made it their own. The move Samsung made was wrong and is costing them millions. The picture below is a slide used during the trial which compares the phones Samsung made before and after the iPhone.
Apple was previously awarded $1 billion in damages from Samsung in the closely watched patent trial just last summer. Apparently, the judge in the first case ruled $450 million of the $1 billion was miscalculated, causing a retrial. Apple, reinstated $380 million in vacated damages with Samsung arguing they should only be entitled to $52 million.
The ruling is yet another victory for Apple in this “thermonuclear war” against Google’s Android operating system and their manufacturing partners.
