#BoycottApple trending on Google Plus after judge bans Samsung Galaxy Nexus

[#GoingViral]: #BoycottApple hashtag via Google Plus

The timing of this couldn’t really be more uncanny. Samsung just lost a major court case to Apple – that loss came via a ruling in favor of a Samsung Galaxy Nexus Ban.  Of course it’s just temporary, and the court cases will continue. In the meantime, we get to watch #BoycottApple start skyrocketing in trends on Google+.
