Apple v Samsung Verdict is in
Shades:
The verdict in Korean court was the following:
Apple is not allowed to sell ipad, ipad2 and some more older products over there, Samsung is not allowed to sell Galaxy S1, S2, Tab10.1 and a few other older products anymore. Effective immediately. That is the only sane outcome for those idiots in both camps.
My understanding is the following: Apple does not pay any license fee(s) for the FRAND patents from Samsung. In my opinion: until they do they should not even be allowed to sue for any patent they have. If Apple does not play by the rules (read: common sense), why should others even acknowledge Apple or any their patents. Come on, if Apple finds it does not have to pay for the essential basics, I don't see any reason for Samsung to pay for design basics.
You know, you would get the idea from the Korean verdict that the US is even outsourcing Justice nowadays. Truly, what happened to once great nation? Oh wait, outsourced that as well... :(

Isn't there some way I/we/people could make known to Apple what I/we/people think of them ? No ...?

What makes you think for one minute Apple could possibly care what anybody who doesn't completely agree with them really thinks? They never have before. They had a ideological walled garden long before they built their technical one. They've always had an "Us vs Them" mindset.
When you're dealing with self-confessed "genius" you get a lot of that. :-\
Apple was built in the image of a man who never got over the fact his parents put him up for adoption - and who wanted to be seen as an innovative genius - even though he was the single least technical and creative member in a group of true computer wizards.
There is not enough payback in the entire world for a person with that much baggage. And Apple's mindset reflects that.

Well, maybe they would care as their whole culture is narcissist - and narcissists care very much about what others think of them.

If enough people "vote" with their wallets, and Apple's sales tank or at least dip noticeably ... They might just go Um...
It's worth a shot anyway.

Seriously?? Christ I was adopted; I even spent some time in a orphanage. It's not that big a deal. I'll agree that on a certain level the "world" does owe one an answer regarding their origins ... But you're not owed the world.

Why bother with bribes? Why not just threaten to extradite any non-cooperative judiciary en masse to the United States to stand trial for impeding US law - or better yet, to simply be detained indefinitely and without charges for being "found" to be a threat to US "national security?"

Could be... But given the mess with trying to kidnap Dotcom, and how nice and clean assassinating Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was, not sure that's really the best way to go about it. Seems like drones are the "in" thing now - both internationally and domestically. :P
That Korean verdict is just nutty... But really, they just banned old models, so it effectively comes up as nothing. It's not like there's a market for old stuff there anyways. (I saw a Galaxy Tab 10.1 v2... oh god was it amazing! Want want want want want want want want want want!!!!!!!)
Now I'm wondering if I patent rounded corners on a triangle... :P
