Ban Ki Moon told South Korean singer PSY that he was now the most
famous South Korean after his hit Gangnam Style, even more famous than
Ban Ki Moon. Apparently Gangnam style is now Youtube’s most watched
video, surpassing Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’.
Samsung, the S Korean electronics giant recently paid a $1.5 billion fine to Apple for patent violation. Apparently they’re laughing all the way to the bank – that $1.5 billion is the smartest investment they ever made. Not only has it served as advertisement for their smart phone, but also advertised that Apple considers their Galaxy as the most serious competitor to the iPhone. Considering their usual advertising budget for a new model is around the same amount, they’re not complaining.
Apparently there’s truth in the saying … no publicity is bad publicity.

Samsung did not pay the 1.5b yet. They are in court again .. the foreman of the Jury that gave that verdict in favor of Apple hid the fact that he was involved in a court battle with Samsung before.
