Samsung To Pay Out $300 Million In Anti-Trust Suit

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-a-lot-of-ram dept.

infernalC writes "Reuters is reporting that Samsung has agreed to plea guilty to charges of price fixing in the memory market in a $300 million settlement." From the article: " Samsung would become the third chip maker to plead guilty in the wide-ranging probe of the prices of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips. The Justice Department has blamed the price-fixing conspiracy for driving up the price of chips used in products ranging from personal computers and servers to cell phones, cameras and game consoles."

    taking it up the ass in Leavenworth

    Why is it that every time someone mentions prison on /., they feel obligated to include a reference to the ass-fucking that presumably takes place there? I'm not trying to single you out here, just commenting on what I perceive to be a persistent trend.
