I wonder how much the legal billing hours on both sides was. Anyways- Putting it in perspective, It will take Samsung a bit more than a day to pay for this verdict (about 29.5 hours of revenue)

Shouldn't you measure hours of profit, not revenue? If a company has positive revenue but negative profit, then they'll never pay it off.

  Considering we are talking Samsung Electronics here, you can do away with the semantics - their profit was $5.2 billion only in the second quarter of 2013[1].

    It's not semantics. If in 29.5 hours I make $119.6 million in revenue by selling $100 million in product, then it's going to take me a lot longer than 29.5 hours to pay off a $119.6 million debt.
