Last month, Samsung opened doors to its first Canadian retail store in Vancouver which many believe, took its simple and sleek design from Apple store with opportunities for customers to go hands-on with smartphones and tablets as well as a corner similar to Apple's ‘Genius Bar’ to assist the customers.

Apple had its turn in court today to give its closing statements to the jury in what will go down as one of the most high profile tech trials of the decade.

With two weeks almost into this Samsung vs Apple court case, I'd be willingly to bet things are heating up. They sure are, but last week we unarguably learned more information in regard to the case.
