Apple will now sue Samsung again, claiming they had this idea 6 months ago.

Funny prank, but Apple could still get the last laugh. Claim there is $300m missing. Samsung will then have to send someone to recount the $$.

 

Could you imagine taking the call at that trucking company..."You want to do what???"

Well, guess the story was just a hoax

I feel sorry for the poor slug that has to roll all those nickels.

I'd have no problem counting it all for 10%

Only a truly special level of moron would attempt to locate 20 billion nickels just to spite a corporation that could probably find $1 billion in their sofa cushions. Would be funnier to pay them in traveler's checks then watch them try to find some place to cash them.

Apparently people didn't bother to read the post that the story is a hoax.

 

One clue was the language in the article.

Nice story, but the coins in the photo are indisputably copper. Those are pennies.
