I'm sitting in a Starbucks doing random whatever over an iced americano. While I waiting for my drink, I watched a guy with his friend, pick up a newspaper; and start to remark on the Samsung Apple verdict.

Guy: "Wait, so what they're saying is, Samsung is the same as Apple?" Friend: "I know, right? Makes me think twice about how much I paid for my Mac Book" Guy: "Seriously"

Not 10 minutes later, a husband and wife, same newspaper:

Husband: "... Samsung's iPad is the same as Apple's iPad, and I paid how much for the Apple one? Honey, I told you they were a ripoff", after looking up the Samsung tablet on his iPhone. Wife: "Oh wow," looking at the screen, "... that's a lot cheaper. Think we can return it?"

Warms my heart it does.

What? That Apple owners are too stupid to realize Samsung is basically the same, yet costs half as much? Nobody ever accused Apple-colytes of having any common sense. ;)

Wait, Apple customers read newspapers?

True Apple-ites only read them on their iPhone or iPad, but they've been known to, yes.

They only read the New York Times, according to Apple's ads.

Strange, i would think that the Wall Street Journal was the newspaper for Apple-ites.

Yeah, they read the paper when their hands and eyes are exhausted from flip flopping all over back and forth using their iPhones and iPads accomplishing nothing.

This could be some kind of "Barbara Streisand"-like effect... It would be funny if people started buying more Samsung as a result of the verdict's publicity.
