Generally speaking I hate such lawsuits. However, we know who re-invented the phone and Samsung has a history of essentially cloning products. If someone copied my/your code or website look we'd be pissed, especially if they sold it too as templates.

There's a difference between someone literally stealing your code and somebody just reimplementing something similar to what you have done.
Please, not again. Analogies between product design and code copyright do not work.

And please, rounded corners on electronic gadgets?
Lastly, the magnetic connector on macbook laptops? Many many years ago I bought a hot water pot (japanese model) that had with magnetic power connector. It was sold many years before macbook pro came out with the magnetic connectors.

I've often wondered if Samsung was offended that Apple passed off the "A4" chip that they designed and built as their own work. I mean Samsung knew that Apple was asking them to put an Apple logo on this, and other, Samsung chips, so I assume they knew what was going on. Still, there must have been someone going "thermonuclear" inside Samsung, to see his credit stolen so brazenly.

"Tim Cook, Jobs' successor as Apple chief executive, was opposed to suing Samsung in the first place, according to people with knowledge of the matter" people = Apple's PR department? /cynic
Knowing Cook's general "Be Nice" attitude, it isn't hard to believe him as the Good Cop. Of course, you can argue this is why Apple PR would run with this story ...to which I'd say Apple PR would't risk the possibility of a leak showing the opposite: that Cook agreed with Jobs. They ran with this angle probably because it is true. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually encouraged such a disagreement to he…
Tim Cook strikes me as generally less emotional than Jobs. It may well just be that being dispassionate he felt that when you took the heat out of it the pain to reward ratio just didn't make it a good move (which is pretty much spot on).
