7 Trillion? They can pay off the U.S. National debt.

I thought Apple and Google made a lot money.....but damn....Samsung is killing. Am I giving my money to the wrong company?

Thats won. Thats a little over 6 billion US dollars. So no, you would need about 2000 Samsungs to pay back the Us debt.

[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]Uh oh...you said something nice about Apple...here come the fanboys thumbing you down..lol re: my comment above..ha[/citation]
As you notice the current state of the votes is +2 for colson79's comment vs -7 for your first comment and -2 for your second comment. I guess this is because colson79 used a fact not taken out its context and made valid argument. You on other hand just made emotionally charged comments based on incoherent logic. So before you accuse everybody for been a fanboy, you should take long look in the mirror.

[citation][nom]colson79[/nom]Samsung made 6.6 billion dollars in Q4 while Apple made 13 Billion, I'm sure Samsung would like to be more like Apple.[/citation]
Actually Apple had a 8.2 billion dollars net profit at Q4 2012, not 13 billion. Still more than Samsung made, but Samsung is growing faster than Apple. Samsung profit increased 76% when compared to Q4 2011. Apple on the other hand increased 24%. If it keeps growing at this pace in a year it will have a profit larger than Apple.

[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]Sooooo let's see... Samsung is selling well over 100 different smartphone models that you can buy right now and they sold 63M units. Apple is selling 3 different models with various memory flavors and sold 48M units in 4Q. Yeah....moving on.[/citation]
Your point being? Thank you for noticing that Apple sold less and Samsung offer people choice. Well spotted

Is the 13 billion operating or gross profit? Still counts as a fact as long as it is specified, wasn't though but links would be nice
