Apple Adds Samsung Galaxy SIII To Its Ban List

After its big win against Samsung, Apple named 8 Samsung products it wanted an injunction to ban from sale in the U.S. Apple wasn't content with that, though; USA Today reports on the state of the expanded list: "The new list of 21 products includes Samsung's flagship smartphone Galaxy S III as well as the Galaxy Note, another popular Android phone. If the court finds those devices are infringing Apple's patents and irreparably harming the U.S. company, it could temporarily halt sales in the U.S. market even before the trial begins."

    Yeah I'm sure having all of slashdot avoid apple products will be a totally effective boycott.

    I'd be more interested in how you know that statistic, frankly.

    What happens when the level of ridiculous goes above 100% ?

    Do smartphone lawsuits instantly get replaced by something even funnier?

    Samsung gives Windows Phone token support. In return they get better license cost on Windows. But instead of being mass produced in a Chinese sweatshop these token Windows Phones are lovingly handcrafted in Whittier California by a wizened old former TV repairman named Hank. Hank is semi-retired and only works 15 hours a week, but he has no trouble keeping up with the global demand.

    Perhaps Slashdot can start by changing the Apple icon, just like we had the Borg icon for Microsoft.
    For Apple, I'd say something with a snake will do.
