Korean FTC May Investigate Apple/Samsung
freaktheclown writes "Samsung may have sold Apple flash memory chips at below-market prices, possibly violating the country's competition laws. From the article: 'According to a report by Yonhap News, Korean Fair Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Kang Chul-kyu said that his agency could look into allegations that Samsung sold the memory chips to Apple at below-market rates. Apple reportedly grabbed a significant share of Samsung's flash capacity in order to introduce its new iPod Nano. Analysts also speculate the computer maker got a significant discount from Samsung in order to hit the Nano's $199 and $249 prices.'" Adds a new layer to a previous story, eh?
I remember in the 70's and 80's when being a geek or a nerd was to be made fun of, laughed at, looked down upon, and generally harrassed.Being a jock was cool.No matter how hard geeks and nerds tried, they couldn't fit in.They bought all the wrong clothes, were not very good at sports, and were basically ignored socially as they were considered abnormal. Well, now it's the millenium, and being a geek or a nerd is cool.We are so cool in fact, that the jocks want to be like us. They buy wal-mart computers, subscribe to AOL, socialize at such hotspots as msn chat, aim, and ICQ,.They paste their pitifully boring lives at such places like livejournal. Jocks want to be cool like geeks and nerds, as this digg proves. To all you jocks, go back to ball-handling and patting your buddies on the ass, as you will never fit in with us, you don't have the mental capabilities to, and it shows. You're not cool, and you don't belong with us, Go away, you are boring. The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth.
