Technology
giants Apple and
Samsung have been asked by the court to negotiate on their
mobile patent war. CEOs Tim Cook and Choi Gee Sung met on Monday to
arrive at a settlement for the same.
US District Judge Lucy Koh had ordered Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co to participate in a two-day mediation session to settle Apple's claims that the Korean maker's smartphones and Galaxy line of tablet computers violated its patent and trademark.
In the official biography of Steve Jobs, the
late Apple co-founder told author Walter Isaacson that "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," according to the biography.
