Samsung countered that Apple is doing the stealing and that some of the technology at issue — such as the rounded rectangular designs of smartphones and tablets — has been industry standards for years.

(AP) — As Seth Collins finished his penne pasta at a Lexing- ton restaurant, he called over the waitress to fulfill his brother's dying wish. He explained to her that his 30-year-old brother Aaron recently passed away, but that he'd left instructions in his will to leave a $500 tip for a server. Then Seth Collins hand- ed the waitress a stack of $20 bills. The waitress, Chelsea Powell, took the money reluctantly and then smiled and said: ''Are you kidding me?'' She laughed nervous- ly and had to cover her mouth from the excitement before giving Collins a hug. The big tip at Bella Notte restaurant was the second $500 gratuity Seth Collins has left since Aaron Collins died on July 7. And the tips will keep coming, thanks to more than $47,000 in dona- tions from people inspired by Aaron Collins' dying act of charity. HAD A SMASHING WEEK?
