DailyMail: Today should see the opening shots fired as the billion-dollar Apple v Samsung patent case gets underway in a San Jose courtroom.
The two bitter rivals are arguing over a cluster of phone patents, each alleging that the other is infringing on intellectual property as they vie for top place in the smartphone wars.
Both companies are seeking potentially billions of pounds from each other in royalties - and whatever decision the 10 people on the jury takes, it is likely to will change the industry forever.
Opening arguments are expected today to decide the merits of Apple claims that Samsung smartphones and computer tablets are 'illegal knockoffs' of the iPhone and iPad.

"Apple filed a lawsuit against the South Korean company last year alleging smartphones and computer tablets made by the world's largest technology company are illegal knockoffs of Apple's popular iPhone and iPad products."
illegal knockoffs? really. im sorry, samsung (THE BIGGEST TECH COMPANY) never once advertised products as an iPad/iPhone. they werent trying to fool consumers who wanted to buy an iPad/iPhone into thinking their products were in fact the real thing. They released a competitive product into the market.
if Apple wins, i guess microsoft should sue Apple into making illegal knockoffs of the Tablet PC(circumstances are exactly the same) and i guess there should be no competitors in the market.
though since this whole court case is in America, something tells me Apple will win. mainly due to the fact that if Apple win, they receive $2.5billion from samsung, all of which will be taxed which means the country gains millions of dollars.
apple products are so useless, instead of buying a mac, i can just built a PC, instead of buying an iphone i can just buy an android smartphone.... everything is superior to apple products.
Put Apple in their place, Samsung.
