On Tuesday, August 28, Google+ users are buzzing about Roger Federer, who is currently competing in the US Open, and threatening to boycott Apple as the Apple vs. Samsung fallout builds momentum after Apple's legal victory on Friday.
On Friday, Samsung was found guilty by a California jury of patent infringement against Apple and the manufacturer was ordered to pay one billion US dollars in damages. The ruling could have a massive fallout effect not just on Samsung and Apple, who are fighting numerous other patent infringements around the world, but also other smartphone manufacturers who may now feel they have to radically alter their design in order to avoid a legal conflict with Apple.
As a result Google + users are trending '#BoycottApple' out of concern for what the ruling could mean for smartphone design; though it should be noted that Samsung is one of the largest manufacturers making handsets that run on Google's Android OS, which could mean that users of Google's own social network may have a strong Android / Samsung bias.
Also causing a buzz on Google+ Tuesday is tennis player, and world number one, Roger Federer who cruised to victory on the first day of the US Open Monday beating American Donald Young 6-3, 6-2,6-4.
