|
 |
| Quote: | | Reuters is reporting that Samsung has agreed to plea guilty to charges of price fixing in the memory market in a $300 million settlement." From the article: " Samsung would become the third chip maker to plead guilty in the wide-ranging probe of the prices of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips. The Justice Department has blamed the price-fixing conspiracy for driving up the price of chips used in products ranging from personal computers and servers to cell phones, cameras and game consoles. |

I knew chips weren't coming down in cost enough. |

I've heard of suits like this resulting in you sending a receipt to the company and them reimbursing you for at least some of the money. Microsoft had to do it a while ago. I own samsung memory.
