Which of those suggests that memorising anything means you are in any way intelligent? Please enlighten us.
Truth hurts? If Samsung wanted to actually help the people there, they'd have donated far more than $3million. If they have 1 billion in the bank - which I think they have more than - that means if even only gaining 1% interest per year they'd get 10 million per year in interest alone. You can bet they get far more interest than that. It's simply to upstage Apple, that's it. The same way they only implemented S-Voice because Siri exists, only that didn't really work...
It is their money to do with as they please and no they cannot simply just donate some huge ammount. They have to keep money in the bank in order to make sure they can pay suppliers, employees, etc. Could they have donated more? Probably, but it is not required nor expected. In fact they are not required or expected to give anything, their not even an American company. They chose to step up and set an example with a $3mil donation which will probably spur other companies in similar positions to contribute as well.

Shame on some of you guys for tuning this into an argument about the definition of "idiot." How childish and inappropriate for this thread. Please don't derail this thread further.
Also, I do not believe this is an attempt to upstage Apple. I think this is simply a good company doing their part to make sure humanity in the world is preserved.

^This x 100. I do not care if they "upstaged" anyone. The fact is they donated a large amount of money and it helps a lot. Anyone that says anything otherwise is just nieve and childish. Can OCN act like civil "adults" for once in a thread?

It's clear
why they donated though, which was what I was pointing out. No-one else would've mentioned it and just simply sat and praised Samsung to a god-like status. There are two sides to every coin.
STOP IT! End your childish arguements and needing to take away from what they have done. No one here is claming Samsung to be "god-like" at all. We are showing appreciation for their very generous donation to a much needed cause. The devastation to the east coast is tremendous and you are making yourself look like a fool by trying to argue with others about intelligence and Samsungs "alterior" motives.
STOP TROLLING AND FEEDING THE TROLLS! Any further posts as such will be reported by me, and I hope by others.
