Too many conspiracys.

Big companies don't care about people's well being. I'm not complaining that they are helping though.

You are utterly and completely wrong.

You need to look up where Samsung's base of operations is.

My point? I'm not sure every company that donates to Sandy is really newsworthy on OCN. It doesn't seem to be tech, science, hardware, or software related.

The sole reason they done this is to 'upstage' Apple. Apple allowed people to donate through their store, whereas Samsung are donating money themselves.
If so Apple did the $2.5M
to upstage samsung.

agree. apple has more liquidity than any company on earth and still wanted customers to donate rather than dip into their own profits..?

they have more money than ANYONE in america. 2.5 million is nothing, and its a tax write off.

It also helps that they have a massive tax evasion scheme, so there isn't much tax to write off. :-)

If you are going to upstage someone, there is no better way to do it.

Don't get me wrong, i'm glad people who have had their lives torn up are getting help (and lots of it) and i hope them the best, but i just wish people would be equally as generous to countries that don't get as much media attention or a big government that can afford to help them out.

Do you not remember Haiti? Do you by any chance remember the tsunami in 2004? Billions of dollars in aid went to those countries. Cynicism has its time and place, but you've got a skewed view of the world.
