Undoubtedly some unethical behavior does translate to a tolerance for more, but there are other, stronger forces at work. Human nature has been described as “that owned by the singular animal that readily destroys itself.”

After witnessing the chagrin of the election prognosticators when their “insight” and “expertise” were so cruelly exposed, I’m not afraid to go out on a limb and opine that half of the nation didn’t care about the political lies because:

They were empathetic: “not really lies but simple human error” (1%); cynical: “all politicians lie so it evens out” (2%); combative: “oh yeah? the other party’s lies are worse” (2%); only human: “lies? what lies?” (confirmation bias) (55%); or apathetic: “what election?” (40%).

Irony at its finest. Since Samesung ships/sells the greatest number of smartphones, they would hurt the most from a high royalty rate on FRAND patents.

Hypocrisy, shimocrisy… Lets get one thing straight – modern business, whoever is playing, is not about ethical behaviour: corporations run on the premise that you leave your ethics at the door on your way in. In the USA, this is not only understood, but Americans participate in this ethics-free zone every day at the office. It translates to a tolerance for ethics-free politics: note that Gingrich could still run, despite an earlier erhics violation; Palin lied on TV about her reading of international journalsi; Paul Ryan lied about the closure of a car plant, and Romney lied about everything. Half the nation couldn’t have cared less. Samsung copies and cheats, and Americans and others everywhere overlook this and buy their products. Hypocrisy? Its the current fashion Im afraid…

It would be funnier to compare it to Samsung’s house @ Halloween:
It is Ericsson: trick or treat!

Samsung’s House at Thanksgiving

Ding Dong, “Oh who could that be at this hour”, “Oh, hey it’s Ericsson, I wonder what they want”. “Crap.”
