Dude, lighten up. It's important to know this kind of stuff. And as a news aggregator, Apple Insider is just doing its job.
yeah I agree....but when this gets posted or quoted in other threads then most of the people here claim this is a all pro Apple site and it doesn't belong here.
I wonder what fraction of Samsung's $29B is trapped in the USA, lest they have to pay taxes to repatriate the money to Korea? Or doesn't Korea tax money in that way? Does Samsung face tax consequences similar to Apple's?
According to Samsung's sustainability 2012 report[1], their taxes & due was 4.256T (KRW) and 16T in profit. So that's around 25+%.
Apple on the other hand paid $6B (USD) in taxes on $41.7B profit or 14% in the 2012 fiscal year. I think the NYT once claimed that Apple's effective rate was 9.x% for 2011.
This should put to rest that Samsung's Galaxy sales numbers are based only on shipment and not real sales. If they only ship and do not sell, they would not be accumulating so much cash.
I guess the thing is if one of us posted this here.......we would get BLASTED for doing so.....
That's not true. If you post something in context and in a reasonable way you're get reasonable responses from reasonable people, but if you jack a thread just to create havoc expect the community to respond in kind.
Samsung's cash position is a relevant story for Apple. They are one one of Apple's chief competitors, and that kind of a cash pile gives them strategic options that Apple would care about.

They could just report the volume data like Apple does, and let us future it out for ourselves.....
I guess there is money to be made in only shipping phones and never selling them.
It's not up to them to sell the phones to the end user, the phones are sold to retailers. The money they're making is coming from somewhere, is it not?

It is true....you know this to be true. Numerous people have posted this and you know it. If something pro Samsung is posted here...then that person is usually chastised for posting that information on a pro Apple site.
So you mean to say that if I started a thread and posted how well Samsung or Google is doing you would have no problem with it?

1) It's not true.
2) Yes, you make a reasonable post it will be received in kind by reasonable people. If you've read most things by Apple ][ you'll see the other side of what you claim and will see plenty of "pro-Apple" jump on him for making foolishly biased comments. He was just called out a day or two ago with some claim that only poor, stupid people use Android.
3) I think you need to be more diligent in your comprehension as you gave a thumb up to ankleskater in post #28 and again to first time poster hdtc in post #37 for the exact same comment. Exact. Word for word, letter for letter, nine comments later.

It's shame that they accumulated that much of cash.
They first need to treat their so-called contracted companies better. You will know what this means.
Also are the salary of their employee rational for their income? I believe it's far below than expected.

He means that's AppleInsider's source of income.

Gotcha. Nothing wrong with AI trying to make some money of their own.
they really gotta make samsunginsider.com and put all these stories on and keep them out of here

I never knew crap could be dumb. But then again, considering the person posting...
